I go to St. Martin of Tours quite regularly throughout the week during the wee hours. It is open 24/7. The main sanctuary is usually empty but the chapel always has at least one person inside of it. They are open 24/7 for Eucharistic Adoration, which you can take part in live on the web here: 64.247.253.34:8000/view/index.shtml

The night guard allowed me to take photos in the sanctuary so long as I was quiet and respectful. Here are a few of my shots:

The skeleton of St. Bonosa. She was a virgin and martyred by Severus (ca. 200).

I borrowed a Canon 300D from my astronomy club, which we use for astrophotography. I am still learning the ropes of how to use it and so I hope you enjoy my pictures. I tried to convey reverence in my shots or at least that was the attitude I approached this with.

Do you have any shots of your church? I’d like to see them.
 
Wonderful! Thanks for posting. Where is this church, I could not open your link!

Louisville, Kentucky.

The link doesn’t like firefox. I usually have to try it a couple times. The prayers of the faithful must interrupt the wireless signal. The camera in the main sanctuary always loads for me though.

The Sanctuary camera is only on during Mass I think. The Adoration Chapel camera is always on.

There is something special about St Martins isn’t there Mark ? 🙂 I’ve felt things there iIve never felt in some of the other old churches in town.

Here are a few more shots of St Martins.

I also go to St. Martin’s. I love it there. Both choirs there are great, and I used to sing in both of them. Fr. Charles is in poor health, so he needs all the prayers he can get. To the poster who said they felt things there that they never felt in Louisville’s other older churches, that could be because you may be getting a double doce of Christ’s Eucharistic presence, since he is present both in the tabernacle, and in the perpetual Adoration chapel, which is the only one of it’s kind in Louisville as far as I know.

If you guies are talking about the same St. Mary’s in New Albany that I’m thinking of, I know one of their choir directors. I’ve been invited there, so there’s a good chance that I may be visiting there soon.
