    The gold attracts the eye. Especially in sunshine, I imagine.

    Gothic Revival is always a style that appeals to me- and that certainly holds true with this church.

    The billboard with the priest's picture clashes with the religious art on the front of this church, but this is a beautiful church which has a long history.
