St. Catherine Church in Pictures

I've been working on writing the first draft for the first section of my paper, so my time to blog has been limited.  Here are some beautiful pictures of St. Catherine Church in Catherine, Kansas.  The Church was constructed in 1892.

Front entrance to the church.


 Statue of the Virgin Mary and St. Francis to the side.  Notice the amount of detail put into these statues.
 The cross below is the original procession cross used by the settlers starting in 1878 before the church was constructed.  They processed up to 8 miles from village to village during certain holy days and held services outside with it.
