I can't say I've ever heard Latin at this parish (yet), but it's a nice nod to our Roman roots.<br /><br />We used to go to daily Mass there before the church was built, so Mass in that setting wasn't all that strange because it is kind of church-like with an elevated sanctuary, and they brought in the statues and candle stands, but there were many more chairs!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12072984925282936743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172588600946128888.post-47993958211627732152012-09-18T06:52:53.325-04:002012-09-18T06:52:53.325-04:00A priest friend suggested that we won't be hap...A priest friend suggested that we won't be happy anywhere.

Beautiful. So many great changes just involving paint! And the tabernacle and mosaic are gorgeous. I am so glad to see the tabernacles back in the center of the churches. It's crazy looking around to see where to genuflect! I hope your heart warm quickly to Our Lord's new home. Worship in a gym/multi-purpose space is never good.

We have spent time on parish boards and everything. One friend told me that I fell at home because I am not in Heaven yet. I won't feel like any church is good enough. That might be right, I keep looking (because at least I am looking for Him.) Good luck with the pretty changes, I hope they will bring you closer to HIM.Neenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04169665137526513607noreply@blogger.com
