With a name like this you would expect it to be presbyterian but it is Catholic. Located at St Andrews ( which is a tiny village on the east coast of the South Island in NZ) It has a pub, a church, a hamburger bar, a field where caravans can camp and thats it! This is a Roman Catholic Church built in 1903 and has been maintained beautifully!
If we weren’t looking for a chemist in the back road we would never have seen this.
I"ve not been able to look at 365 for the present few days owing to travel and no cell reception (not in the caravan though, unfortunately)
But....three good things;
1. A visit to sister in Timaru. She is not good and it upsets me to see her like this but she appreciated our visit.
2. Beautiful sunny day with the birds singing in the trees
3. Put grass seed on our new Caravan Park. I shall look out the window all night and frighten the birds away!
I like the look of this church, just the right size & it has a lovely bell...you can't beat a bell to call the faithful to repent!! Nice flowing decoration to highlight the shape. Hope your sister is comfortable as she can be Maggie.
Looks like the gate is locked except for the one side. were you able to go it looks very peaceful.
Glad you got to see your sister. my thoughts and good wishes go out to her.
@happypat Its quite amazing to see a church as beautiful as this one in such a tiny village - in England it would be normal! Sister not at all comfortable but seeing a specialist on Monday who will organise treatment to start.
Love the edit in this - a lovely soft and serene look -I love the symmetry of the whole scene and the beautiful design of the window -- I wonder if it has stained glass in this !
Sorry to hear that your sister is not well -- I hope she will be soon feeling better with the help of medical treatment . thinking of you x
What a beautiful old church and a wonderful photo of it. Sorry to hear about your sister. It is so hard to see someone very ill. Sounds like you are enjoying your Caravan.
@maggiemae You are very welcome, Maggiemae. Wish I had it in me to be on here more. Doing the best I can. Thank you for always commenting on my photos when I post them.
I'm sure you're not so ugly that as soon as you look out of the window the birds get frightened seeing you, haha - just joking. Sorry to read about your sister. This looks like it is quite a quaint little church and I love the tones here. Thank you for finding the time to comment on my pictures.
What a pretty little church. I had to laugh because I don't think there are any Presbyterian churches here in the US that are St. Anything- they are usually "The First Presbyterian Church of..." (even if there's only one!). But many of the Catholic and Episcopal churches are named after saints- or Mary.
Glad you got to see your sister. my thoughts and good wishes go out to her.
