This morning I was privileged to photograph the Stations of the Cross at St. Margaret of Scotland Parish in the Shaw Neighborhood of St. Louis. Before I finished I wanted to shoot images to produce an HDR photograph of the main altar and sanctuary. This church holds some very special memories for me and it was wonderful to be present there. I thought sharing this photo may provide a glimpse into the beauty of the house of prayer. Thank you to Fr. W. for allowing me to bring my camera inside!
This multimedia slideshow I produced for the St. Louis Review newspaper. It features the rosary led by Archbishop Robert Carlson and and interview with Beth Lauver the Director of Respect Life Apostolate for the Archdiocese.
This is a multimedia slideshow production I completed in October 2009 for the St. Louis Review Newspaper. The story is an Ecumenical Revival which took place at St. Elizabeth Mother of John the Baptist Church in St. Louis, Missouri.
What makes this story unique is the inter-denominational aspect. Most revivals are just one congregation by itself. Many of community churches have revival every year but the event is seldom practiced in the Catholic Church, and quite rarely in combination with other Christian groups.
This “Building Bridges” spiritual gathering featured each pastor preaching to the congregation one of three consecutive Revival nights while a combine Gospel Choir lead the music. The inner city churches have realized their similar missions and goals to their struggling cultures, neighborhoods and members. This prayerful Revival was the first step in them coming together to work for those causes. The churches involved were St. Elizabeth, Mother of John the Baptist Church, Washington Metropolitan AME Zion andRhema Baptist Assembly.
The Poor Clare Monastery in St. Louis is celebrating 50 years in the Archdiocese and held a mass today to commemorate that AND also the 800th year of the Franciscan Order. As I was leaving the monastery I turned around to see this beautiful sunset on their chapel spire complete with a Franciscan feathered friend.
