Historic Catholic parish at 7669 Girard Ave in La Jolla, CA 92037, anchoring the Village since its founding in 1937. St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church on Prospect St predates Mary, Star of the Sea by three decades, and together the two form the Village's spiritual backbone. The parish draws parishioners and visitors alike with its Spanish Colonial Revival sanctuary, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, and stained-glass windows that catch afternoon light filtering down Girard Avenue. Daily and weekend Mass, sacramental preparation, confession, religious education for children through adults, and active outreach ministries serving San Diego's homeless and underserved populations. A sought-after venue for weddings and baptisms — couples seeking an intimate, non-denominational alternative book Prince Chapel By the Sea on Cuvier St, one block from the ocean.
