Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church
I attended the first Holy Communion for two of our Grandchildren recently, and I had my camera with me and got a few shots.
I guess it should be no surprise I had my camera with me I generally always do LOL
this is my third post of shots in the church

the Ceiling of the church was very beautiful and ornate, so I had to share another shot of it.

the other Grandparents asked me to get some shots of this statue, I think they said it has some special significance to the Portuguese, but only now do I realize I didn't ask the significance of it, but it surely was so beautiful.

And a second shot of this beautiful statue, a bit closer in so you can see the beautiful detail on it.
Even though I do consider myself religious and believe in a higher being, and was brought up a Catholic, I do not feel the need personally to go to a church once a week, I believe to many make an act of being pious and Christian on Sundays and do not live that out for the rest of the week.
I prefer to try and live a good life , show respect to others and say my prayers in my own way at my own time.
However that all said it was a wonderful experience visiting this beautiful church and seeing two of our grand kids so excited and enjoying their First Holy Communion
