Mehr zum Buch

"From the grand basilicas of Missouri's big cities to small churches in every corner of the state, the stories of generations of Catholic immigrants are set in stone...Places to pray takes readers to Catholic churches, shrines, convents, and monasteries throughout Missouri where readers will explore the architectural marvels of the cathedrals of St. Louis and Kansas City and visit neighborhood parishes that proudly hold on to the ethnic flavors of their founders...In addition to visiting holy sites, the book offers chapters on a range of topics unique to Catholicism which are often misunderstood, even by Catholics...This is intended for readers of all faiths and walks of life who are tempted to venture into some of these places to experience realms beyond those offered by daily life"--P.
