Technically, our Church is called an "oratory" since we are not a Parish Church, but a chapel for a religious community. The layout of the Church demonstrates this as it is separated, into two parts, by the altar. This picture is taken from the "public side". The other side is our side and is called "the choir" where we chant the Divine Office. I will show that part of the chapel in a future post. Sunday, March 29, 2009
