There is suppose to be some two-story Catholic store there.... anyone know anything about it? I googled it, and I am not finding anything.

Ever been there? Know somewhere (particularly of a religious tone) that I should visit?

Go to Blackstone. OK, not a Catholic site, but my father-in-law was the brewmaster there until he last year.

There's a nice old church in the Germantown area, Assumption. Other than that, I don't know much about Catholic sites in Nashville. Our visits there are usually just about trying to cram in seeing everyone we know. :) Have fun!

There are a number of great microbreweries in pubs in the downtown/Vanderbilt area. :) The cathedral is in that area too. Looks pretty incredible from the pictures I've seen. I know the Nashville Dominicans are in Nashville, and I think there's a Catholic university that some of them teach at.

A lot of specifics, I know :) But speaking of Nashville, I'm due for a short road trip there myself.

Wow! So glad you're coming to my fair city!

Yes, there is a 4-story Catholic bookstore called St. Mary's; its like two split level, in an old house, kinda? :) www.stmarysbookstore.com

Definitely see the St. Cecilia Motherhouse of the Nashville Dominicans. (I can give you details about visiting them via PM)

The Cathedral of the Incarnation is quite beautiful, in the Vandy area.

Assumption is a beautiful parish in the Germantown neighborhood.

St. Mary's downtown is the old original Cathedral--I think they only have Mass on Sundays, sometimes in Latin...

PM me and I can give you details on what's going on in the city when you are here, especially Catholic-ness! Or other stuff, too.

Well, the store is called St. Mary's. It's not two stories, it's four.....

It's right down the street from the Cathedral, on West street.

I also highly recommend attending LOTH at the Dominican convent. It's so awesome to hear those sisters chanting the Psalms.

The Cathedral of the Incarnation is beautiful ... but don't go to Mass there unless you want one filled with liturgical abuses (unless, of course, they've gotten a more orthodox rector since then).

I have been to that state which shall not be named, and to that city within the state. I have no fond memories of the area.


Pittsburg, on the other hand, rocks. Go there. :yes:

Pittsburg's environment is unclean. Our kids would get sick from the pollution.

I have been to Nashville too, and I don't have fond memories of it, but that was before I was interested in the Catholic world of Nashville. The FOUR STORY bookstore is so very appealing... and the Nashville Dominicans ... it would be awesome just to go see their convent.

Say what you want about me, but if you poison our children's minds against Pittsburg I will never forgive you :annoyed:

Also, Pittsburg has St Paul of the Cross Monastary, which is run by Passionists, who are at least 20X's better than Dominicans :unsure:

:topsy:

Well once they smell the clean air of Nashville compared to Pittsburgh I won't have to say a word.

St. Paul of the Cross Monastary has a really nice library. They don't have a lot of good logic texts, but it's still pretty good. Also they have the vestments of Tsar Nicholas II's chaplin :unsure:

Also, last time I was reading there I kept heard someone trying to get my attenton, "psstt!" but I was the only one there and it was like 1AM so I got freaked out.


Turns out it was the air freshner :unsure:
