I agree that you have to go, even if you don't like the style of the building. But given a choice... :)

This is the Cathedral in my state. It's just gorgeous. My son's freshman Mass and High School graduation were celebrated here. What an amazing place. This is the kind of church that feels special to me.

My parish church is much simpler, as you can tell by the pic above. It's very homey and comfortable. It's the traditional style that I love.

Providence is a city with amazing architecture, especially when you consider the size. If I can find some photos, I'll link them here. Maybe this why I prefer quality traditional structures to modern junk. Oh, did I say junk? I meant "art". :)

Now that's a mall. -- Joan, 15:54:39 04/01/08 Tue [1] (ip68-0-253-131.ri.ri.cox.net/68.0.253.131)

This picture is of the first indoor mall in RI. It was the first indoor mall in the country, too. I grew up shopping in places like this. Modern malls pale in comparison.

Isn't this gorgeous?!
