02/17/08 - La Concepción (AKA "Las Monjas" or "The Nuns") Church

Subject: Photos of La Concepcion (Las Monjas or "The Nuns") Church


To those who are interested in San Miguel Catholic Churches: 


This is the dome of La Concepcion church, as seen from our Master suite balcony. It's where we went to Mass this morning and last Sunday. There's an English Mass at 10 a.m., so we took advantage of that.


 
Here's the altar of the side chapel, where the English speaking mass is held.

 


A side view of the altar follows. (As you can see, they use life size statues here.)


 

The right hand side wall.

 

La Concepcion steeple and bell tower, which was completed in 1842.


 


A beautiful painting of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane that hangs in the side chapel.   


La Concepcion is also called "Las Monjas", or "The Nuns". The funds to build it were supplied by a daughter of the Canal Family.


Will send photos of the main church in another e-mail.    j
