A Tour of a Catholic Church

Catholic Update: A Tour of a Catholic Church

The building is the home of the Church but it's also an expression of the personality and values—and Catholic faith—of the parish family that worships there. People are often overwhelmed by the many symbols and scared objects found within the church.

This Catholic Update, a companion piece to A Walk Through the Mass, explains 38 religious objects and symbols used in Catholic worship and the celebration of the sacraments, including: Stations of the Cross, statues, vestments, stained-glass windows, baptismal pool, pews, pulpit, Lectionary and more. It's a faith-filled educational journey through the church; increasing knowledge and awareness of the rich tradition of art, architecture and liturgical symbols.
