Church #146 - St. James, Lincoln




I came to Mass here on Thursday evening. I was greeted by a large gang of kids camped out for Pokemon Go players - as a public place, the outside of the church seems to be a destination for people playing the game. It's been a long time since I've seen a group of kids hanging out outside unsupervised, the way my neighborhood friends and I did growing up.




Daily Masses during the summer are held in a former sacristy off of the altar area, which has an air conditioner. I was very impressed with the main church, which is a lot larger and grander than I had expected. My favorite feature is the extremely high lectern, which doesn't appear to be used anymore. It also has lots of statues and paintings, including one of the crucifixion behind the tabernacle, and intricate stained glass windows.
