Immaculate Conception Domes (Celina)

The domes of this church are just magnificent. These are the pictures I took but didn't post from my first two visits.

Saint John Freyburg

I caught this statue of Mary and sunset while out driving with my son Tyler.



The railing has the words Joy, Love and Peace. I took a picture of all three but LOVE is the only one that I could use.

This Hollow Earth Cycling Tours is a blog documenting the cycling travels of Aldo of Middletown. He recently toured through The Land of the Cross Tipped Churches. He has posted some fantastic pictures of the churches, including the one you see here. You simply must check out his blog. I have become a follower and am looking forward to more pictures and post.

St. Henry Church pre-Vatican II

In response to some questions about what St. Henry looked like pre-Vatican II, Rick Barr of the Catholic Telegraph sent me this photo.



I have the attached image of the magnificent altar of St. Henry Church pre-Vatican II. The photo in our files is undated and I don’t know who took the photo. Coincidentally, I scheduled a post about St. Henry Parish for the CT photo blog this morning.

Thanks Rick.

The modern look is okay, but I think I like the pre-Vatican II look better. Be sure to check out his blog The Catholic Telegraph Photography Project for more great pictures from the past.

Saint Henry (Archive)

Sill more from the old archive. I took these sometime ago. I was not all that happy with the pictures and wanted to come back and do a re-shoot. However, every time I've come back to take pictures the church has been busy.



I case you are wondering about all the archive post. I am running low on disk space so I am trying to kill two birds with one stone. Get back in the grove of posting for the Cross Tipped Church blog and clean up my hard-drive.



I want to start fresh when I start taking pictures again. I am going to change the way I post and the format once again. I will cover that in more detail in my September Weekly Journal post when I make it.

September Weekly Journal 2009

Welcome to my Weekly Journal. Each month I create a post to collect my thoughts and meanderings for the month.

OOPS! - Well it's hard to miss the format change. I wasn't planning on changing the template just yet but I missed click while checking out different templates and well there you have it. I am still working out a few kinks. I wanted to change from full page back to a more narrow version because I wanted to make it easier for me to make short but sweet post. I also removed the Read More option. I plan on adopting a one to two picture post with a small summary. I am hoping this will help me keep the blog fresh and not go stale waiting for the next marathon post. Before I do that I will continue to post pictures I have taken but never posted. I've got about another weeks worth of postings so far. I really liked my original Cross Tipped Church header but could not get it to work with the new format. I will see what Tyler and I can come up with for the new look.

Words of Encouragement - Your comments and E-Mails are important to me. I recently received two very nice E-Mails that helped get me back on track with the Cross Tipped Church Blog. Thank You

These are some outside shots that I liked.

Sacred Heart of Jesus (Archive)

Still exploring my hard-drive for pictures from the past. The Sacred Heart of Jesus was one of the first Churches I visited when I started taking pictures.
