Welcome to The Campaign to Restore the Memorial Organ!

St. Paul's Cathedral is home to San Diego's first organ.  This historic instrument was first heard on Easter morning in 1887 having rounded the legendary Cape Horn on its voyage to the small frontier town of San Diego. Since that day, like the city itself, the organ has been augmented and expanded as the needs of the congregation and city grew.  Today, it is the busiest instrument in San Diego, playing host to numerous concerts and recitals open to the community, in addition to weekly worship services. 

On the eve of its 125th anniversary, St. Paul’s Memorial Organ finds itself in need of a complete restoration.  We invite you to explore this website to learn more about one of San Diego's true cultural treasures and ask you to consider supporting the $1.25 million capital campaign to restore this historic instrument.  The time has come for this generation to restore and repair one of San Diego’s musical treasures for generations to come.
