Alex Benestelli sat down with organ consultant, Thomas Sheehan, this week to talk about the St. James Organ Project. Sheehan is the Cathedral Organist and Associate Director of Music at Washington National Cathedral,
​and he has been advising us at St. James by-the-Sea since 2017.

This week's playlist is music all about music! Let's give thanks for the gift of music and celebrating the beauty of holiness. St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music and musicians, can be seen in many works of art playing the harp, the lyre, and the organ.

This week's playlist is on the theme of the Blessed Sacrament. Holy Communion isn't something we have participated in much during the pandemic, and this music reminds us that the Holy Eucharist is a powerful sign of God's presence in the world.
