Just Visiting
Anita and I went out to see the new St Mark's in nearby Independence. It was last Friday, so my colleagues were off that day. The church was filled with an industrious little army of cleaners. Here are some photos:

I liked it. It was a sunny day outside and the brightness had no problem entering into the nave. Day chapel shared a "tabernacle wall" with the nave. The musicians seemed well-equipped. I prefer it at the entrance, but St Mark's has a very serviceable and deep font near the altar.
I rarely get to visit with a Sunday assembly present to get a feel for the acoustics, singing, and other liturgical details. But it seems quite prayerful. Anita liked the day chapel and the Holy Family statues. If you're in the area, go visit.
