I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Description of Subject Matter: In 1906, the community of La Jolla was growing and there was need of a Catholic church in the area. The task was assigned to Fr. Joseph C. Mesny. He raised money to purchase three lots on Girard Ave., but had no money for an architect and so designed the church himself.

The new church was ready in 1909 and was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin under her title of “Mary, Star of the Sea.”

Over the years, as the geographical lines of La Jolla grew, so did Mary, Star of the Sea’s congregation. By 1936, the pastor, Fr. Thomas McNamara, began to make plans for construction of the present church of Mary, Star of the Sea.
The architect was the celebrated Carleton Monroe Winslow, F.A.I.A., who created the building in Contemporary Spanish Mission design. The roof is of red clay mission tile with the ceiling of heavy, exposed wood rafters. Above the main entrance is a large true fresco, entitled “Our Lady, Star of the Sea” painted by Alfred Ramos Martinez.

The new church was dedicated by the Most Reverend Bishop Charles Francis Buddy on December 5, 1937. Ten years later, ground was broken for a parish school, and in September, 1947 Stella Maris Academy opened its Mary Star of the Sea La Jolla doors for the first time.

The parish buildings of Mary, Star of the Sea are an icon in the lovely village of La Jolla, and those entering the doors of the church to see the interior will be touched by the hush of its simple beauty, and no one who leaves the church ever leaves it without a sense of the peace it imparts.
