I absolutely love beautiful Catholic Churches. Obviously, the beauty of the building in no way impacts the grace received from praying and worshipping there, but there is something about beauty that stirs us. There are so many theologians and saints who talk about the power of beauty.

During a recent trip to Houghton, I was able to experience this powerful beauty when I went to confession at Saint Ignatius Loyola Church. Unfortunately, I am not a photographer so the pictures (which I took with my cell phone) leave something to be desired, but I still couldn’t resist sharing this stunning church.
