This week St. James' Rector, The Rev'd Dr. Mark Hargreaves, joined Music Director, Alex Benestelli, to talk about the new organ. Fr. Mark's vision for a vibrant arts community in La Jolla has been a key inspiration for our organ project. Fr. Mark talks about the role the new organ will play in the parish, how important it is for the community to be involved, and what he is looking forward to most about the new instrument.
As the leader of the parish, Fr. Mark has been instrumental in gathering the community together around this project, forming a consensus among the parish leaders, and setting a tone of gratitude and joy throughout this process.
Thank you for following our progress. As always, you are invited to join us in this campaign by visiting StJamesOrgan.com and clicking the yellow Donate Now button at the top of the page. We appreciate your generosity!
