WOW! THIS IS SCARY! IT’S A PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOT CATHOLIC AND IN A CITY NAMED SAINT AUGUSTINE, THE PROTESTANT PRONUNCIATION PLEASE…

 

Presbyterian Church in Saint Augustine, Florida.

Constructed in 1889 by Henry Flagler using the same revolutionary poured concrete method used in his Ponce De Leon and Alcazar Hotels Now Flagler

College and Lightner Museum respectively). Local coquina shells used as aggregate in the concrete gives these structures a unique look and color. Lightner named the church memorial in honor of his daughter Jennie Louise Benedict who died the year it was built. Lightner himself is interred there as well.

Father McDonald,

I was at a concert in that Church and it has an absolutely magnificent pipe organ. Once inside, it has a distinctly Protestant lay out.

By Protestant pronunciation, I assume you mean, "Saint Au-gus-steen"?
