| vintage shot of St. Lawrence Catholic Church, NOT taken by me!  This shot was by me just this past spring. This church first received me in baptism in 1963. The following day our three children ages 1, 2, and 3 years old were baptized. A year or two later my mom was welcomed into the Church. Then when our fourth child was born in 1970, he was baptized here. |

| same shot as just above but SOOC baptismal setting of my four children and me joyous occasions! linking with pleasure to Sepia Saturday  and Rebecca's wondrous blog Haiku My Heart  |
I recently saw a church with a big sign "OMG" out front. Trying to appeal to the younger generation I suppose?
ReplyDeleteI suppose that might be the reason.
DeleteVery lovely photos, of such beautiful structures!
ReplyDeleteI do prefer the traditional look, but that is not the most important aspect of any church; it's the members who make up the Church. And both here and my current parish have wonderful, spiritual members.
DeleteI think there must be a story there,
ReplyDeletehow it came about that you were baptized
only a day before your children.
In any case, Norma, great pictures
and a very happy haiku.
I am happy to see your happiness:)

I, as well, feel the same way about you, Rebecca. I am nourished by your posts and those of contributors to your blog.
DeleteYour church building looks as if t hasn't changed at all. Strong foundations for the building and the church community.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church! I love the ages of your children when they were baptized - 1,2,3. So cute! I was born a year after your fourth child was born.

Every where I go... I look for churches and yours is all the more special because of the meaning that it holds for you and your family. I think that is what makes a church so special, when you walk in, you can feel the history and the stories and the prayers and worship that have filled the building even before it was built. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteNonnie, baptisms and confirmations are great joy for as well. Beautifully captured!
ReplyDeleteVery special to see!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by to visit me!
A lovely building through the ages - always a pleasure to see.
