A total of 11 Catholic churches in 18 days were among the places we visited last month. The age-old beauty of these structures were just awesome. Most of these took 50 to hundreds of years to complete. A great deal of time, effort and money were put to good use. Jerry and I hope that these great churches do not just stand magnificently as landmarks. We hope and pray that these continue to serve as real places of worship for the dwindling number of Catholics...
