    A beautiful older church. Holy Day of Obligation; I was fortunate to hear in Spanish, though it was difficult for me. A very unique blessed occasion for me. I believe! Thanks to the parishioners @St. Joseph for making me feel like I was at home.

    I grew up in this church and got married here. Everytime we are in town we go. Nice playground for kids after mass. If you sit up front you will still see my parents. Behind the alter use to be amazing painting of angels.
