Enjoy these photos capturing some of the exciting renovation work underway at St. James this month!

The Parish Hall building was painted too.

Painting one of the small quadrafoils; you can find this motif all over the interior and exterior of St. James.

Stained glass windows cleaned and restored.

The sanctuary is brighter now with clean windows.

Front door paint color choices; we like the top one.

A lovely new worktable/island (on wheels!) in the Altar Guild Sacristy.

Drawers in the renovated Clergy Sacristy big enough to store our vestments flat – the proper way.

Beautiful Light

Meet Kacey and Jen, two talented artisans from the stained glass company Willet Hauser Architectural Glass, Inc., in Winona, Minnesota. They are staying here in LA this summer to restore our beautiful Judson Studios windows.
