Who Woulda Thunk?

A couple of weeks ago we went to Bayonne, NJ, for a quiet day with some friends. Most of it we spent in church, a lovely place to spend a quiet day. Here are a few pictures I took inside the church itself. In the second one, you'll notice at about in the center of the photo, aomething white in a frame. That's a "humeral" veil, a vestment that goes around the shoulders of a priest...think shawl...and is one used by Bl. John Paul II when he visited here a few years ago at one of the Masses he said.

The first photo is of an icon of the Blessed Mother and Christ which is above the main altar. So is the last one.

A parish church. In Bayonne. New Jersey. Who woulda thunk? How come this doesn't get a reality series on Stoopid V?
