Click here: Shrine of St. Joseph - Catholic Church -St. Louis, Missouri
Here is the Shrine of St. Joseph church. It is unbelievable! One of the ladies said as we were entering, "I want to watch your face when you walk in!" I hope she did b/c she saw my jaw hit the floor! It was unbelievable! So gorgeous and MASSIVE! (personally, however, I prefer the older "Holy Family" church b/c it eludes warmth, but this church, you would never get bored looking around! HAHA). It is truly unreal! Like most things of this size, it's hard to get a picture to accurately show it's massive size. I would compare it to Washington Cathedral, I would guess. Or, if you've never been there---Church of the Advent downtown, only BIGGER and more elaborate with statues, etc. Statues u p front (many!); on the sides; in the front. We ran out of time to snap pix (our church guide was chatty! HA), but even if I had made more pix I still wouldn't have been able to show the size (go to the website and maybe you can tell more about it by looking at it on their website and then look thro my pix). I told Katie that the church guide told us they are already taking reservations for weddings for 2009!!!!!
