Another church I managed to slip into just before their Saturday evening Mass. – bei St John Nepomuk Catholic Church
Another quick Saturday evening stop. – bei Saint Francis Xavier College Church
The kindly priest at my last stop on Saturday night called me by the title. "Ah, the Church Wanderer!"
It was very exciting to share the vision of my project with him, discuss Polish architecture, and lay in another course for wandering. – bei St. Agatha Polish Roman Catholic Church

Emboldened and determined to make the most of Sunday, I traveled to Saints Teresa and Bridget, where I was welcomed by the priest and had the opportunity to admire the wonderful artwork of the ceilings especially. – bei Sts Teresa & Bridget Catholic Church

'Tis his year, so here's a photo from the Shrine of Saint Joseph!
Another highly recommended visit.
I was also mistaken as a photographer from the Archdiocese by one of the volunteers, so that was a great encounter.
