No mention of St. John the Evangelist in Plaquemine yet? May be a bit impartial because this was the first church I attended.

I once had to deliver some paperwork to Thibodeaux. The appointment wasn't until 6 PM. and I arrived early, very early. So I decided to do some sightseeing around town. As I drove around town I passed a beautiful Cathedral. Being Catholic, I was somewhat aware of the layout in a diocese so I figured this was the "Mother Church of the Diocese" (aka the Bishops Cathedral).
I decided to get down and check out the interior. OMG - absolutely beautiful. I'm not kidding when I say I was spellbound - rapt in wonder at the craftsmanship and beauty of that church with ornate stained glass windows, beautiful statures of Jesus, Our Lady, Saints and Angel - all so vivid and lifelike.
Beautiful churches should help us to immediately descend into contemplative prayer the moment we sit in the pews. Well, a 15 minute planned visit turned into an hour of prayer. We humans are endowed with sensory faculties which help us to imagine what heaven is like. That gorgeous Cathedral did that for me - imagine heaven.
My Holy Catholic Church has so many treasures. Among them, beautiful cathedrals, churches, and quiet peaceful cemetaries.
Deus bonus, omni tempore, Amen
