At some point they took out the communion railing but overall it is still as glorious as ever. When this was built St.peters was but a small rural community and yet look at the incredible church that they built. it is every bit as large as the great churches found in St. Louis.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192494998023993595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437006.post-57444527545622013162010-07-03T10:52:32.772-05:002010-07-03T10:52:32.772-05:00Nice touch?? by the HVAC contractor who put vents ...Nice touch?? by the HVAC contractor who put vents on either side of the main alter how imaginative!Kestrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11643316680350255931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437006.post-1142007700011402602006-03-10T10:21:00.000-06:002006-03-10T10:21:00.000-06:00Marc,When you mention "Environment & Art in the Ca...Marc,<BR/><BR/>When you mention "Environment & Art in the Catholic Church", are you refering to the Saint Charles Borromeo renovation, or to the planned All Saints renovation? If the latter, then there actually is an approved newer document from the USCCB, "Built of Living Stones". Of course, our Archbishop can approve of any design he wants.Mark S.

I suspect that a more traditional church, liturgy, and catechesis would meet the needs of these famililes much better.<BR/><BR/>The new style of "doing church" has an ambiguous morality which can lead to problems that parents would rather avoid.Mark S.

I used to be a parishioner at All Saints (before moving to the city of St. Louis) and they're underway with a new church building plans and 'renovation' of the exisitng "worship space." I would be willing to bet that the high & side altars will disappear as well as the communion rail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437006.post-1141906895327103432006-03-09T06:21:00.000-06:002006-03-09T06:21:00.000-06:00Hey,Why don't you have any pictures of churches in...Hey,<BR/><BR/>Why don't you have any pictures of churches in Georgia on here?<BR/><BR/>MaureenMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808846063989984969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437006.post-1141881702968849902006-03-08T23:21:00.000-06:002006-03-08T23:21:00.000-06:00Salve, Marcus Scotus.Nice pictures.

Do visit the Cave and take a look at some of the architecture that's been abandoned in Kansas City, Missouri, as well as some that is still open (for the moment) in Kansas City, Kansas.<BR/><BR/>There is a qualitative difference between most of the churches you're featuring and most of the churches I've featured. In St. Louis, I think the churches are more natural to their surroundings, and are also an organic development of style, whereas in KC it seems we're just copying something or other. Perhaps it's better architects. Perhaps it's better taste in the chancery (or WAS better taste in the chancery). Perhaps it's the fact that the St. Louis area was developed about forty or fifty years ahead of KC. I don't know.<BR/><BR/>One suggestion, though. I think an index to your churches, in the sidebar, would be great.<BR/><BR/>--Curmudgeon.<BR/>www.curmudgeonkc.blogspot.comCurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958570482046462392noreply@blogger.com
