Remodel underway

One of the older neighborhood parishes has been under expansion/reconstruction for several months. Although daily mass is being said in the new sanctuary, I've not been inside yet, the time is not condusive to my schedule, even though I drive by every day. I had thought a round aperature on the east end of the reconstructed building would be for stained glass, but...



apparently not.



I will admit, I am mystified by this. Apparently it is made of plastic; which guarantees a short life, and probable replacement.

  1. Maybe it's just temporary until the stained glass window comes in...?

  2. No window will be forthcoming; it's brick behind the plastic.

    Then it's the stupidest damn thing I have ever seen on a church since the sculpture of Darth Vader on the Washington National Cathedral in D.C. (admittedly Episcopal).

  4. Maybe its a lesson in the "permissive will of God" - since it's not the "stupidest thing" possible!

  5. Having been by the building, the plaque is a little to large in relation to the building. Funny how symbols, words, and art have meaning for all humans, and whatever this is certainly doesn't represent what is going on inside that church.

    We certainly HOPE not!
