Bravo! To St. Joseph's in Maumee.

I just found their WEBSITE. There are a couple reasons to celebrate. First, even though they're building a new church, they're still going to maintain the old one. The other is a quote about the new building project. " Will the new church look like a Catholic church?
Yes! This was a request that parishioners repeated again and again—inside the public meetings and outside—as well as a requirement of the bishop. Despite the many changes our campus plan has undergone, this idea has always been at the forefront of our considerations." Good for the parishioners, good for the pastor, and good for Bishop Blair! Over the last few decades there has been too much of an attempt made to turn churches into something looking more like, to use King James Bible language "whited sepulchers". This has been pushed to accomodate certain "mandates of Vatican II". As time went on, people realized these supposed mandates never existed and the whole thing was being pushed by a few liturgical revolutionaries, without the Church's sanction. I'll look forward to seeing the new design. Hint to the parish: Post it on the website.
