St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church is one I've photographed before. The parish dates back to the 19th century, while the current church dates from the early 1950s, according to what I found (it certainly looks more old fashioned on the outside than the sanctuary itself). It's on the edge of Little Italy, and I was in the area early one morning when I noticed the front doors were open. I took a quick look inside.
Very nice. What is Little Italy like? Do they have food there? And if so, how yummy is it?
ReplyDeleteLovely stone church, and it is quite big, too.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely, William, I love the different colours of stone and the interior is so nice!
ReplyDeleteI love the stone facade. And the shape of the chapel is nice too!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great and beautiful church.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
Comforting somehow, William

The inside looks very nice and the last photo is pretty!
ReplyDeleteClever, I love the cool inside William and the outside looks very traidtional
ReplyDeleteCool looking lights. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful church! Inside looks very artistic!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I adore stained glass.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful interior. You're blessed.
ReplyDeleteThe inside has a bit of a futuristic look.
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge sanctuary. The outside gives you no indication of the arches seen inside.
ReplyDeleteThere's lots of stained glass window.
William such beautiful images!
ReplyDelete@Whisk: there's no shortage of good food in Little Italy!
ReplyDelete@Orvokki: it is a very good size.
@Linda: the interior really surprised me.
@Halcyon: it had been quite awhile since I'd photographed it last. I often passed by it when I lived in Hintonburg.
@Tomas: I certainly think so.
@Cloudia: I agree.
@Nancy: thanks!
@Chrissy: it really surprised me, the inside, but then finding out that the current building is newer than it looks explains that.
Good timing to be there when the doors were open wide!
ReplyDelete@Revrunner: they are!
ReplyDelete@Tamago: I do like the design.
@Susie: I do too.
@Birdman: there are a whole lot of churches here!
@Sharon: it does, yes.
@Red: the stained glass really drew me in.
@Luis: thanks!
I like the front as well as the interior.
ReplyDeleteYour second photo gives a wonderful view inside.
Great façade! Love the first shot of the interior, it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are the second and the last shots!
ReplyDeleteThe inside was a big surprise for me! I really like it!
ReplyDeleteVery traditional and very beautiful!
ReplyDelete@EG: it was good timing!
ReplyDelete@Jan: thanks!
@Jose: it really surprised me, seeing it like that.
@VP: I like them too.
@RedPat: it was mere chance, being out there that particular day. I'm in Little Italy every day, but rarely over in that part of the area.
@Lowell: I agree!
The inside is beautiful!
ReplyDeletewow, the lighting on that ceiling!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stained glass William, lovely interior..
ReplyDeleteI do love those windows!
ReplyDeleteTis lovely.
ReplyDeleteQuite beautiul!
ReplyDelete@Marleen: I agree!
ReplyDelete@Tex: it's quite something.
@Geoff: it really stood out to me.
@Lois: me too.
@Mari: it is!
@Norma: I agree!
Very nice! I like the interior view especially.
ReplyDeleteThat first interior shot is especially nice. It's quite nice inside.
ReplyDeleteonce again, the stained glass colours and design are magical. Somehow the exterior of the church suggests a large church and yet seems compact.
ReplyDeleteGosh it's a beauty William, inside and out. I too love that second shot, a wonderful look into the body of the church.
ReplyDeleteThe outside and the inside sure don't match, do they, William?
ReplyDelete@Meradeth: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Kay: it's quite a beautiful church.
@Gemma: that's true.
@Grace: thanks!
@Jack: nope!
