Hope, Joy, Love, Peace


I looked at all my previous post and discovered that I had never posted a picture of the main altar. So here it is. I had to use my flash to lite up the banners on the front altar, but the shadows behind the altar are from the sanctuary lights. The murals on the side are new since the last time I was here.

Window Lit Crucifix


I really try and not make this blog all Stained Glass Windows and Crucifixes but I really liked this one.

When The Saints Go Marching In


The old hymn When The Saints Come Marching In popped into my head when I saw these hymnals lined up ready to march.

Censer and Crucifix


I just love the simplicity and design if this.

View From Below


I do not know if the lighting for the balcony that created these shadows were by design or accident. Either way I love this shot. I took this looking up from below.

We Celebrate



Well it has been awhile, but I finally made it out to take some pictures of the Cross Tipped Churches. My one and only stop was St. Rose.  I thought this one was appropriate for the holidays.

Coming Soon!

I was hopping to get in some fall pictures of the Cross Tipped Churches but it looks like it will be closer to November before I get back out and about.  It has been a long time since I last posted and even longer since I have toured and took pictures of the churches.

I tried to capture this using both the window and candle light. I think it came out pretty decent.
