I enjoyed the slide-show. Can you guess what jumped out at me most (I mean, after the striking picture of you guys at your repast)? That’s right–no iconostasis! When I saw the altar rail, I figured this was a sort of Westernized Eastern Catholic parish, but the sign outside said Greek Orthodox. Very interesting. Wish I could have been there.
Yes it was a very Western looking parish.
