Day 7 in Europe: London England St. Aloysius Catholic Church

Johanna and I attended Mass today at St. Aloysius Catholic Church, very close to our hotel. It had some actual statues of the saints, Mary and Jesus, a Crucifix, and art work that made it actually look like a Catholic church, unlike the churches in Switzerland.

In one of the pictures below you can see the priest giving a special blessing to the Legion of Mary after Mass.

The priest's homily today on this, the first Sunday of Advent, focused on the two aspects of Advent: the first coming of  Jesus (his birth), as well as his second coming at the end of time. I don't think I've ever thought of advent that way.
