One of the most wonderful places in the neighbourhood
This was my grandparent's church. My father was Christened here in 1915. My grandparen's came from London, England in 1906. I did not know this was the church until I received my father's certificate. I finally found the church when we attended an outdoor sale. The ladies were kind enough to let us go in, but the church was under renovation so we were not able to see the font. I will be back some day. Soon I hope.
I just passed by this place. It is generally a quiet place.
A very interesting architecture for a place of worship. Not able to enter when I was there, but it was a pleasure just to enjoy the exterior.
It is a small yet still very hospitable and warm. Last Sunday they held the "Annual Blessing of the Animals in observance of the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi". There were dogs and cats in attendance waiting to be blessed. It was eerily quiet. ( well trained dogs! )
