St Casimir, Fremont

 Hidden in the neighborhoods of Fremont is St. Casimir. It was probably a school with a chapel that evidently closed.

It might still host events for Knights of Columbus.

Good Shepherd, East Toledo

We've had a request for interior photos of the now-closed Good Shepherd church in East Toledo.  Below are some links that have interior photos.

At St. Patrick in Toledo

Nativity Scene at St. Patrick

 The Nativity is all set up for the arrival

Good Shepherd, East Toledo

 Taken at the Amtrak station is Good Shepherd in East Toledo. 

For some reason this makes it look like the church is on top of a large hill. Either way, it's still a good shot.

St. Patrick, Warehouse District

 

Taken on St. Clair St. just above Swan Creek is another image of St. Patrick. As mentioned in the pervious post, St. Patrick is built on a hill making photos like these even better. Note that this is why taking photos like this one are only possible in the wintertime. No leaves. 

St. Patrick, Warehouse District

 I took more photos of churches around Toledo focusing on the Irish churches, St. Patrick and Good Shepherd. With no leaves on the trees, I was able to get good shots of the churches that I would not be able to take during the summer.

When I found this location on Google Earth, I knew I had to take a photo here. Taken at the intersection of Jackson and 11th, you get a perfect view of St. Patrick. Another added bonus is that the church is built on a hill. This means you can basically see the church anywhere in Toledo. The road is directed towards the church giving a clear view with no obstructions except the wires. 

Nativity Scenes Everywhere!

It's Christmas season again, which means churches are setting up their nativity scenes St. Joseph in Maumee has all of their nativity scenes set up.

This is the outdoor one in front of the church.

Metal scene illuminated at night.

Inside, there is a much better scene.
