  During the late 70s and early 80s the church was a favorite place for me to visit while hooking school. Mass, novena and benediction were always scheduled and were awesome to me as my home parish, St Ambrose was more contemporary and Afro-centric. The doors always open and services well attended. Sacristy sisters moved about dutifully and quickly. Confessions always heard, church smelled of wax candles and incense. Bells rung during consecration and for Angelus. God, those many statues. "The good old days done gone!"

  It's pretty enough inside but the deacon was surly, rude and abrasive. I was recently asked by family to help shoot video of a wedding. When I arrived I was immediately met by the deacon who proceeded to tell me all the things I wouldn't be able to do, where I couldn't stand, etc. He was curt in his replies to my basic questions and then walked off with his back to me upon his final reply.
  
  Perhaps it's a good experience as a guest or parishioner but for someone working a wedding here its no fun.
  
  Luckily the organist stepped in after he left and lead me upstairs to the balcony where I was able to shoot an overall view.

  Please pray for Sister Cathy and for all the girls and boys who suffered abuse at the hands of the Catholic Church. And please pray for the Church, who continues to go to great lengths to cover up these abuses. 7% of Catholic priests have been accused of sexual abuse, and when it is uncovered, they are simply transferred to another parish or school. Please keep your kids safe.
