theculturewarrior Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Raph and Cath are up in arms over who lives in the coolest state. Here's what I propose to settle the matter. For everyone who believes their state is coolest...post pictures of the prettiest churches you can find in your state. That is the only way we can settle this matter. Then we'll have a poll. Pictures forthcoming (to prove Texas is without a doubt the coolest state. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirlInTheWhiteArmor Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Ok, you have to give these Polish New Yorkers a little credit... [url="http://www.stcasimirstcharles.org/"]http://www.stcasimirstcharles.org/[/url] Not St. Charles. I mean St. Casimir's is the one that needs the credit. Sorry, there's only the outside picture.

franciscanheart Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 our childrne's garden.... it is devoted to all the children of the parish who have lost their lives over the years.... and to the families and friends of these children. the kids it was originally dedicated to have things in there that show their life.... like the fountain is frog and toad which the kid loved. it is really a wonderful wonderful place. there is a huge statue of Mary when you come it that you see right away even though it is at the very back. and it has a prayer for all of those children that have been lost. we have May Crowning there every year. it's awesome. mmmmmmmmmmmmmk ive tried posting this pic a thousand times now im looking for some sort of link to it....
