The Mission is actually meeting in a 3 bedroom house we rent in a neighborhood (you can see a picture of it on our Church website). The sanctuary area is actually the family room only about 28 by 15 feet. We pack a LOT of stuff and people into that small area! We've really worked on making it a miniature "cathedral" and don't skimp on the decorations and liturgical furnishings as you can tell. We have a great little community and had 5 baptisms and 2 chrismations on Holy Saturday! Glory to God!Steve Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319784922747041297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-1145906596289212472006-04-24T12:23:00.000-07:002006-04-24T12:23:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting these.
