We had a thread like this, but it lapsed into the 14-day zone. Glad to see another one!

I’ve always wanted to attend Mass at the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, Arizona.

I know that some lurking Hoosiers here are familiar with this one - Monastery of St. Benedict in Ferdinand, Indiana.

My very own church! The high altar is so beautiful! This is what it looks like right now during the Octave of Easter:(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
 
My favorite churches that I’ve visited are St. Andrew’s Church in Pasadena, CA and St. Vincent de Paul Church in LA. I’ve visited St. Andrew’s a few times to hear Mass and it’s always wonderful.

The altar of St. Vincent’s is especially nice.

My present parish church where I received my First Holy Communion and the Sacrament of Confirmation back in the 1950s

My parish church, where I was baptized 57 years ago this month. The building will likely never be nominated for most impressive church, as it was built rather hastily in the early 1950s during the post-war church building boom that occurred as the population of Los Angeles rapidly grew.

That Right Rev. H. Vaughan was none other than Herbert Vaughan, who became Archbishop of Westminster in 1892 and was named a Cardinal in 1893. The Vaughan family was an English Catholic powerhouse! Five of Herbert’s brothers were well-known prelates, and two were also bishops: Roger was Archbishop of Sydney, Australia; youngest brother John was also Bishop of Salford; Joseph, known as Jerome, was a Benedictine Abbot; Bernard was a famous Jesuit, known for his preaching, and Kenelm was missionary priest. Four of his sisters also entered religious life. His nephew Francis was Bishop of Menevia, Wales. The Vaughan family was so remarkable and renowned, even I know about them 👍.

I am amazed at how many old Catholic churches exist in England. Excuse my ignorance, so does it mean Anglicans didn’t destroy/replace them?

Holy Rosary Cathedral, Toledo (Ohio not Spain)
 
This is the church I like to visit when I’m in my hometown of Missoula, Montana. It’s St. Francis Xavier. It’s where I got one of the very first inklings that I was was intended to be Catholic. Beautiful church.
