Church Spires


Oh, my, there was a high of 70 degrees yesterday. We took advantage of the occasion and enjoyed one of our favorite road trips, along the Mississippi River on the pretty Wisconsin side.  St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Prescott, WI caught my eye because of the twin spires. A good choice for a Sunday post, right?!

  2. And the day before you had snow! I love church architecture and search it out when I'm in a new city. This one is especially beautiful. I wonder how old it is.

    1. Obviously I am not a good researcher; I tried every method I could think of, but could not come up with even one fact re this church. You would think that the historical society of the area would have info, but nothing but a telephone number. Perhaps I should have waited to post the photo after calling them to see if they had any info.

  4. What a pretty church! And a good name for a city, be it in Wisconsin or Arizona. And to top it all off, a temp of 70? Who could ask for anything more.

  5. Elegant and not over the top, as Catholic churches can sometimes be.

    Good choice of shots for a Sunday.

  10. So many churches of that era were constructed similarly. Isn't there a Catholic church on I-94 between the Wisconsin border and St. Paul that looks a bit like this?
