Another town, another church. This time it’s Nashville, TN. I’m here for the CMA Music Festival and attending Mass at Holy Rosary Catholic Church.
It’s right near the hotel I’m staying in. They even had a Saturday morning Mass! You’ve got to love that.
In the media center at the Indianapolis 500 Speedway we have 2 Sunday Masses! I got my picture taken with the priest who said Mass but neglected to get his name.
This is part of the IRL Ministry and I’m really glad we have the opportunity.
We pray for the safety of the drivers, teams and fans here today.
I’m in Indianapolis this week for the Indy 500. Near to my hotel is St. Luke’s.
I attended Mass yesterday morning. It was a school Mass and filled with kids in uniform.
Tomorrow I’ll attend Mass in the Indy track chapel. They have IRL Ministry formed to have interfaith services as well as Catholic Masses.
On another trip. This time to Phoenix, AZ. This is the beautiful church I get to go to while here. It’s right across the street from the convention center where I’m covering the Clean Cities Congress.
They only have a noon weekday Mass but I think I can make that!
There’s a big Cinco de Mayo festival going on downtown here this weekend too. I walked through it last night after attending the Phoenix Diamondacks game. Besides all the festivity and fanfare I came back with one main impression. There were so many young people out who all seemed to be having a good time. However the clothes and some of the actions they were exhibiting on the street were scandalous. I know it is hot out right now but let’s just say that one of the biggest challenges anyone has today is holding on to purity.
I pray for those who were dressed so inappropriately, the people who designed and sold that stuff and the people who find it a real temptation to at least impure thoughts.
This is turning into a series of church pictures but that’s okay for now. This past week I had to stay in Omaha, NE and got to attend Mass at St. Stephen the Martyr.
I’ll be going on retreat next weekend so hopefully I’ll have some more before then.
If I’m going to post pics of the churches I visit I guess I should certainly include my own home parish. It’s the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Jefferson City, MO. This is a side view with our newly installed statue of St. Joseph who greets you as you walk up to the church.
You can find out more about our diocese here.
I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before. With all the travelling I do why not write about the church I visit for daily Mass?
This week it was north Kansas City not far from the airport. This is St. Therese Parish.
I got to attend Mass on two mornings. Very nice new church.
