I had only seen it from the exterior, and after the renovation. But I immediately recognized the Italian architecture from my visit to Italy. From the outside it bears a resemblance to Sant. Apollinare in Classe. The interior is very different, though. I certainly didn't expect to see a barrel-vault ceiling! It is very beautiful though, and I'm glad they made efforts to restore it.jonathanpaulmayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700384925558851084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091613135548177350.post-70404857183758777002010-03-11T10:04:13.662-06:002010-03-11T10:04:13.662-06:00I grew up in this church and have never seen anoth...I grew up in this church and have never seen another like it. I loved it there and had hoped to be married there. You feel in the presence of God there, not like in the buildings of today. Fr, P. had many dinners at our home and as children we were scared of that white haird man...i think we thought he was God! Thank you for your work.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448858644364167409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091613135548177350.post-88192697033862986002008-07-12T16:30:00.000-05:002008-07-12T16:30:00.000-05:00Awesome!

At some point, you'll have to go to Mexico and check out the churches there. They are beautiful. And you wouldn't even have to drive. Just walk 5 blocks and bada-big-bada-boom, another Catholic church rises in front of you! From marble to volcanic ash. You'd be in heaven!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
