St. Joseph, Crestline

From the past to the future. This is looking very interesting. Thanks to Daniel DeGreve for the photographs. More on the way tomorrow.

Assumption, Reed Township

Here are some photos of Assumption church in Reed, taken in the late 1970s. Many thanks to Mike Doughty for sharing these.

Assumption, Reed Township

No longer in use, Assumption Church is located a few miles south of Sorrowful Mother Shrine. According to a parish history, the church was designed in 1907 by Erhard Brielmaier and Sons, prominent architects of Milwaukee. More information about Brielmaier HERE.

St. Gaspar del Bufalo, Marywood

Built in 1884.

The church was originally known as St. Michael's, until several parishes were consolidated under the name St. Gaspar del Bufalo (founder of the Precious Blood order.)

Marywood is also referred to as "Frank," as that was the original name of the area.

This church is very close to the Sorrowful Mother Shrine in Bellevue.

St. Nicholas Chapel, Frenchtown

A chapel of All Saints parish, New Riegel.

Our Lady of Consolation Shrine Park, Carey

According to a history of the shrine, the Stations of the Cross in the Shrine Park are from Italy, and were dedicated in 1939. They were re-bronzed recently.

Note the soldier threatening Simon of Cyrene.

Veronica wipes the face of Jesus.

Jesus falls the second time. (Note how He is almost falling out of the boundaries of the sculpture.)

St. Michael, Findlay

At St. Michael's in Findlay (the new church on Bright Road), there is a beautiful series of stained glass windows of saints. It's easy to miss them, as they are in hallways and rooms to the right and left of the sanctuary. Well worth a look.

St. Peregrine, patron of cancer victims.

There are two windows of St. Michael the Archangel.

A Parallel Culture

There's a good article at First Things, about growing up Catholic, in the 50's, at St. Christopher's in Rocky River, Ohio.

St. Joseph, Crestline

I got these pictures in an e-mail from Daniel DeGreve. The restoration seems to be progressing well. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Had to post this today. . .
