Church #64 - St. Vincent de Paul, Coventry



This church is pretty close to Gabriel's Trumpet in Coventry. The parish community seems pretty active, and they have a Lighthouse Media stand. There's a school next door which I'm assuming used to be a parish school. I've definitely seen the priest here before, but I can't quite remember where - I remember him because he talks very, very loudly, to the point that it's hilarious sometimes during the Mass. Don't get me wrong, he's a great priest and all, so I'm not trying to pick on him.



The church has a blue carpet, and several large steps up to the altar area. The balcony was locked. They exposed the Blessed Sacrament after Mass. I can't tell from the bulletin how often this happens, but it's a wonderful thing to see a parish doing. I came here on the Feast of St. Bernard. There's a whole bunch of St. Bernards, but I'm assuming this is referring to Bernard of Clarivaux, the famous abbot and driving force behind the Cistercian order and their reforms of the Benedictine life.
