Description
One of the three churches in my town, and one of 5 in the surrounding area within a 5 mile radius of the outskirts of the city lilmits. This is the main church and the first church built. However, it is not the original church that was built. The first church was built in a barn, then built later on this site. The original site is where the school is currently. It is a beautiful church. The was the church build by a Friar, in the heart of the old town around the Presidio. Today, not much of the old Presidio remains, but what does is a testimony to the beauty of this old town. The bell tower, however, rings out every hours during the day. On clear days, one can hear it all over the city.
The wooden beams inside the church were built to represent the manger of Christ. There are many beautiful windows. The main one, the Rose Window that has the Blessed Virgin Mother, site over the 100 years old pipe organ that basically sits unused in favor of the brand new electronic organ. On this day, the clouds drifted over the church under a beautiful blue sky after a rainstorm. It truly was a beautiful day.
