Our Lady of the Desert Catholic Mission in Dolan Springs, Arizona. It isn’t a grand or particularly beautiful church, but I have good memories of attending Mass there with my son during a trip through Northern Arizona. It was edifying to see this small Catholic community in the middle of the barren desert, about 40 miles north of Kingman.

London Oratory is by far my favourite church in London. I still miss its architecture and its fine choir. I couldn’t think of anywhere else in England that preserved Traditional Catholicism more than London Oratory did.
 
Spruce Island, Alaska - the whole island is dotted with chapels and icons, and it is a popular pilgrimage point because it is where St. Herman of Alaska lived and died:

In our parish we decorate the doors and the iconostas with green branches.

In my old house we decorated all the icons and the front door with green branches. Sadly, I didn’t do it this year because I was in the process of moving.

This church has only 125 registered families but during the summer months those visiting swell the attendance. It was first formed in the 1930’s as a mission. In July 2002 it was elevated to a parish and in 2005 realized a decades old dream: the construction of a church. That summer our family held a reunion in the OBX which included the Baptism of my first grandchild at Our Lady of the Seas. The location of this parish is in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The altar faces West and overlooks Palmico Sound a mere yards away from the church grounds.The interior is reminiscent of an upturned hull of a ship. This is apt as off the coast of Hatteras Island are hundreds of remains of wrecked ships. There is a ships bell along the walkway to the church in memory of those lost at sea. The statue of their patroness stands in the narthex.The design was conceived by their former pastor and hand carved/painted in an Italian art studio. It depicts a youthful Mary with sand and seashells at her feet. She holds the globe of the earth for her Son as he reaches out to touch the Atlantic Ocean and the N. C. coastline. Enjoy the photos of this unique parish and plan to pay a visit sometime. The sepia look photo is how the church appeared when we visited in 2005. The arial view of the church with a blue roof is how the church has been updated since.
