Monochrome Monday
Here is the steeple of Holy Family of Nazareth church on Union Street. This parish is where I got married, but not at this church. I got married across the street at the old church. The new church was built in 2004.

St Cecilia’s Door
Pictured here are the side doors to St. Cecilia's Church. Growing up I was an alter boy at this church. The church was built in 1931 and was meant to be used as a cathedral. For reasons unknown to me this did not happen though. The doors you see here are not the original doors. The original doors were made out of wood. I could not find a refference as to when these doors were put in. If I remember correctly they were installed in the mid 1970's.
St. Cecilia
Here is the steeple of Saint Cecilia's church. Not the best quality night picture, but not bad considering it was done hand held.
In late 1899 a delegation went to Springfield to request from the bishop a parish for the french speaking people of french hill. This request was granted in January of 1900 and St. Cecilia was born. The current church was built during the great depression in 1931. This provided work for the neighborhood of french hill in a bleak time.
