St. Gregory's Architectural Facts

Item

Title
St. Gregory's Architectural Facts
Description
Brochure/info sheet given to church visitors at St. Gregory the Great with information about the historic building, items in the church, and some of the physical features of the church that make it unique. Much of the original build and decorations remain with the church today. Many items were imported from Germany and hand carved and painted. Despite the changing demographics of the church, the influence of the culture of the first parishioners is still seen in the interior. It was very important to the original churchgoers that the architecture and art of the church remained in a traditional northern European/German style.
