I attended here for a Sunday service many years ago but was captivated by the traditional Catholic liturgy and the beauty of not only the building, but the worship itself. I greatly enjoyed it.

People from the suburbs visit this church prior to scheduling their weddings here. Just look at the architecture and imagine your walk down this aisle.

The Liturgy was celebrated with care and reverence. The architecture and construction is stunning. Sacrament of Confession is available daily at 11:45am.
