Calgary Reunion: 11/25/07 - Sacred Heart Church

No overseas trip is complete without a visit to a place of worship. Mark, Butch and I went to Butch's church in Calgary. It was a wonderful feeling celebrating Mass with a family member.

A landmark in Calgary throughout the years because of its tree-lined walks and beautifully tended gardens, Sacred Heart Church dates back to the turn of the century when the population west of the Cathedral was burgeoning. The interior has an architectural effect of simplicity; the only decoration on the brick exterior was a moulded, arched opening at the main door where the name of the church was displayed in Gothic lettering.

Below are pictures of the altar and the seating area.
