3 years agoA beautiful basilica. We attended mass and the community felt very welcoming and vibrant. Amazing pianist and the parish priest kept his homily short, crisp and on point.

a year agoWhat a beautiful tartarian building. These buildings must be protected forever, the old world with the cymatics windows are truly spiritual. Does it still have the bell and lead pipe organ?
