Christ the King Chapel at Christendom College in Front Royal, VA

This new chapel at Christendom College was dedicated on Easter Saturday, 

April 15, 2023 during their 45th anniversary year.

It is magnificent!

The Diocese of Arlington has very few nice looking churches, 

and of those, none are truly spectacular . . . until now!

You can see the church from I-66.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

PHASE 2 OF BEAUTIFICATION

Back in 2016, I posted about the initial phase of beautification at our mother parish.  

In the past year, this church has undergone phase 2 of that beautification.  

Wainscoting lines the sides of the church and new pews complete the nave. 

The woodwork in the sanctuary has been expanded to fill in the entire front wall to include the gorgeous new side altars and new statues.  

All the clear windows in the church now have elegant scrollwork. 

The final touch to the project are the magnificent candlesticks.  

They arrived the day after the very last TLM and Solemn High Mass at the parish. Our bishop outlawed the Traditional Latin Mass except at 8 "designated locations."

St Elizabeth is not one of them.

The large wooden crucifix and the Agnus Dei on the altar are from the original 1905 church. 

The very modern brick and wood communion rail was replaced by this lovely wooden one --- with gates!

From 2018 until Sept 8, 2022 St Elizabeth's had a weekly Spanish TLM at 11:00 am and 

daily TLM's on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 am.

May the ancient liturgy once more be offered publicly in this lovely church someday soon!

Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let

 those that hate Thee flee from before Thy Face!

St Wenceslaus in Wahoo, NE

This is the restored sanctuary.  

The wreck-o-vation in the 1960's was too ghastly to show.  Thankfully there were old pictures of the original altar and this new one was made to resemble it. 

Here is the original altar.
