Name that church -- It's St. Mary's in Medina


If you can name the church where this picture was taken, I will write an article about your favorite Catholic Church in Monroe County. Hint: the picture is not of a church in the diocese of Rochester. The first correct response wins. Winner is based on the time-stamp at the end of your post. Good luck!

Nope, but the church is in the diocese of Buffalo. Good try, try again,

Choir,

All I want to know is if it is within driving distance from the east side of Rochester? That is one beautiful altar and tabernacle.

My guess is the church that does the TLM but I don't know its name (might even have been mentioned already).

Nerina...It would take about 50 mintues to get there from Rochester.

Would you all like another hint?

The church is Saint Mary's in Medina, which is in Orleans County.

Gen said...

It's beautiful. I'll have to go there sometime.

Is this the original church building? The first of my Eagan great-grandparents' children, Catherine Jane Eagan, was baptized at St. Mary's in 1853.

To Bishop Clark, From His Humble Servants:

"Prince of degredations, bought and sold,
These verses, written in your crumbling sty,
Proclaim the faith that I have held and hold,
And publish that in which I mean to die."
