We discovered a church, and it
offers masses in English once a week on
Sunday mornings at 9:30. It is only a 15 minute walk form the apartment. We went to mass this morning and it was quite normal, all things considered. Here are some pictures we snapped after mass, (I know who takes pictures in church without a wedding or a
baptism.... but I knew you would want to see our new found place of worship) Next up we will build up the nerve to attend one of the masses in Russian to see how the locals behave in mass.
Here is a beautiful side altar in the church that we imagine is an original side altar from before the church's relatively recent renovation.
Apparently our church is the oldest catholic church in Russia, a history of it including how a fire actually saved it from being converted to a secular function in the Soviet era can be found at the link below
