Okay, so it's not actually a castle, but it's the closest I can come here in Michigan. This is my church, St. Thomas the Apostle, from the back--it seems to only be sunny here on Sundays lately, so I managed to get a nice bright picture of it on my way to church. If I can read Roman numerals properly (no guarantees!), it was built in 1897--lots of stone and stained glass windows and a bell tower that still works! The inside is basilica-style, with marble columns and a really ornate tabernacle and altar area. Perhaps I'll post a picture of the interior some time, too (I've got a pretty good view from the choir loft).
My parish at home is comparatively modern in style, so when I got to AA I was really excited that my new church looked like this. :)

Sil, this is a beauty of a church. I love the lines and the bell tower. Looks very European to me. Thanks.

Until I read your discription, I thought it was a castle. :)
ReplyDeleteBut it's still cool.

LOVE it! Just the kind of church I'd want to get married in, even though I'm not Catholic. I just love the setting for a Celtic themed wedding.
