The Alterante Year Vigil Plan
One of the joys of the two-parish church-Catholic Community model we live with here in Geneva is that the big services like the Easter Vigil alternate from building to building. This year, sadly, is at the violently restored St. Francis de Sales. The exterior is a quiet 1880s brick gothicky-with-a-touch-of-romanesque-revival pennies of the immigrants church. The interior is the worst of the early 90s - lots of pastel wall painting, inclluding the worst Resurrection Jesus on the altar wall that I have ever seen. Really. And I'm a professional - I've seen a lot of 'em. Maybe I'll go down there for confession this afternoon (it is marginally further than St. Stephen's (the 1910 arts-and-crafts-gothic-english-parish-church parish) and take a picture to post.
I'm able to overcome distracting interiors usually, but St. Francis de Sales is a little much even for me.
Oh, well - happy Easter everyone! I'm trying :)
