St. Francis, Dyersville

[47of74]

I went over to Dyersville today and while there I stopped at St. Francis Xavier Basilica.





Here's a link to some of the other photos in the set.

1. Very nice. I'm starting to appreciate more how the churches change through the liturgical seasons.

2. Have it set up for Lent.

I was looking through my photos - specifically some I had taken of the church other times over the years. I thought the high altar seemed rather bare, especially when compared to other seasons. It looks like the parish staff took just about everything off the high altar that could be taken off, other than the candles and put a purple cloth over the tabernacle.

3. That's interesting. I thought veiling the tabernacle was

just for Holy Week. Guess not.

It's a gorgeous church. Thanks for posting the photos.
