Arizona: Sierra Vista: Our Lady of the Sierras

Our Lady of the Sierras, Sierra Vista, Arizona. August 2019.

Our Lady of the Sierras - another Arizonan couple compelled to build a church. "Another" in that some weeks earlier, a friend and I visited the Byzantine church on Mount Lemmon, in the town of Summerhaven.

Gosh, gorgeous views from the church.

An imposing Celtic cross.

One of my favorite design features is how the windows and votives frame the sky and valley.

How peaceful it must be to sit in a chair during a service and gaze out the window, while listening to the voice of the Mass celebrants.
