NadaTeTurbe Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The church, oh, the church ! It was built in the middle-age, and it's just, amazing, with painting on the wall and the roof... I feel lucky to be in a church where there is a real history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo in Deum Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Other than the beautiful Mass, Sacraments, and our amesome priests, I would say the choir! Love the Sacred Music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 wow really nice! :D the church is beautiful what is the cape-like thing your priest is wearing? The building itself is... Meh. Built in the late fifties or early sixties I think. Pretty underwhelming. But at least we have a high altar and (moveable) altar rails. The cape is literally just a cape. Really nicely embroidered, and very warm. I think it was -40 when that picture was taken. It can be tough to keep warm in a cassock, I bet.

Nihil Obstat Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I think she was calling Nada's church beautiful. Far more sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominicanHeart Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Oh everything. I'll have to get a picture to share here. I have the most amazing, down to Earth but brutally honest Pastor in the world. I love the fact that we have the Latin Mass. I love having Perpetual Adoration. I love the fact that everyone knows everyone. I feel like my fellow parishioners are a part of my family. There is something for everyone at my Church. Plus we have the best music ministry in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 My parish is in a rural area. The community itself was started over 100 years ago. The church building was burned by heretics in the early 20s who protested Catholics coming into their neighborhood. It was rebuild by the poor Catholic families who would not be scared away. Some of the people in the parish are descendants of those brave people. I love the building, its poor, but neat and has the essentials. Spiritually, of course, I love that Jesus resides here in the Blessed Sacrament and the doors are not locked so I can go whenever I wish to visit Him.

puellapaschalis Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I love the building; it makes my Gothic heart happy. I love (most of - har har yes I'm a sinner) the people. They're very generous and patient with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) My former parish was a beautiful place to be. Very warm pastor and people. The church was always open during the day for people to come and be with Jesus. During the week I attend Mass at the church we have on site, but on Sundays I go to our local parish. I don't really like the church much, but Jesus is present and the people are friendly - and in the end, that's what makes a parish. It's also amazing to see how many people attend Mass there; it attracts the biggest crowds in our diocese, with (I think) around 3,000 people attending Masses on the weekends.

MarysLittleFlower Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks for sharing everyone! yes I was referring to Nada's church and then Nihil's priest... The confusion came from the fact that I thought both posts were Nada's. Lol. I must have been tired What I love about my parish where I attend over the year, is that we have a very dedicated / prayerful pastor, great music, reverence, and a close community. Its the first parish I've been to where I actually got to meet people I didn't know before and become friends with them. We also have Adoration and a really beautiful statue of Our Lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vee Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Spiritually, of course, I love that Jesus resides here in the Blessed Sacrament Thats my favorite thing about my parish too, without Jesus everything else is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 My local parish is very crowded and has a horrible parking problem. And you know what? That's not a bad problem to have, when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
