  2. It's a popular wedding church, isn't it? I was at a wedding there two weeks ago; that's when I took these pictures.

  3. I and my 5 brothers and sister went to grade school there for all of our 9 years. Even walked to mass every morning from school.
    Kindergarden was held in the high school which was across the street from the chuch.
    The high school also had a roller rink in the gym 3 nights a week. I learned to skate just so I could go there.
    You do know part of the church burned years ago and was rebuilt.

  4. Chris,
    I seem to remember that this church is supposed to be built on one of the highest spots in the city. You can see the steeples from a pretty far distance.

  5. I'm pretty sure this church was built on one of the highest hills in the city. You can see the steeples everywhere.
