The sanctuary holds a lot of people and with such a small parking lot parking is a complete nightmare; cars are parked in no particular pattern. When we entered it wasn't obvious where the main sanctuary was at so if you are a first timer you may want to get there when others are also entering the building, otherwise you will wonder about aimlessly. They begin with "hymns" which I'm not a fan of but after the quick hymn they do sing charismatic christian songs, however I didn't find the church to be charismatic in the strictest sense of the word. On my visit they had a guest speaker who was decent at best and certainly didn't provide for an overall awesome experience; just a good one. If you are into a mid-sized church, a few hymns mixed with a few contemporary christian songs then this may be the church for you. They do provide children services for the youth during service and if you have a toddler they even provide a neat buzzer, like you get at a restaurant, in case your toddler needs your immediate attention while you are at the main service. This I thought was a really neat feature for the children.

I feel a little weird reviewing a church, but here it goes. This is a small, very pretty, historic…read morechurch in a hip little village. The congregation is very warm and welcoming, although a bit on the older side - it seems to be an even mix of older people and families with kids. There's not too much of a young adult scene at this church, and the congregation is a bit more conservative than I originally thought it would be - after all, this is Cold Spring. But I chalk that up to the congregation's demographic more than anything else. So why do I keep going? Because as a whole it's a lovely experience. The sermons are generally warm and inspiring. I almost always feel uplifted after hearing a sermon here. Our Lady of Loretto has 4 priests in total - two regular pastors and two weekend associates - all of whom rotate leading Mass. This church has elements that are most important to me: a sense of community, an interest in and commitment to the local area and the people who live in it, and a sense that the priests see the congregation as actual people, not just as bodies who show up on Sundays. And much like the churches in NYC - and unlike the churches where I grew up - Our Lady of Loretto is open almost all day, every day, for private reflection. You can just go in there and sit and be at peace. It's awesome. Try it, if you're Catholic and in the area. Or if you're not - and simply want to see a historic church with great artwork - don't be afraid to step through its doors.

Adorable Catholic chapel located in the charming country town of Garrison, N.Y. St. Joseph's Chapel…read moreis run as a mission church of Our Lady of Loretto in Cold Spring, N.Y., and offers one Mass, a 10:15 a.m. service on Sundays. I'm assuming that most of the people who attend Mass here are Garrison residents and that they aren't schlepping in from Cold Spring - not that it's much of schlep, but whatever - although I'm not really sure. Anyway, this chapel is old, graceful and a lovely place to attend services if you are in the area and are so inclined. It's a small church, and was definitely constructed in another era. It's a charming white building with small stained glass windows and an antique-looking red door. I love old stuff - old art, old buildings, you name it - and this place definitely fits the bill. Once inside, you'll realize just how small this chapel is, because you don't get a complete sense of that from the outside. There is no center aisle; rather, there are three sets of pews and two side aisles. There is a set of pews located on each side of the chapel, and then there is a middle set of seats running down the center of the church where an aisle would normally be in another facility. The two side aisles separate the middle section of pews from the rest of the seating. The floors here are nice, warm-colored wooden planks, and the aisles have charmingly old-fashioned carpet runners. There are niches at the front of the chapel for the statues (very small and very nice), and the altar is tiny compared to what you would find in another church. There are two beautiful paintings that decorate the walls behind the altar. One is of the Virgin and Child, and the other is of St. Joseph, I believe. They are round portraits that were painted in a style that is not seen too much anymore. They struck me as having a similar style to Eastern Orthodox iconography, and the gaze of the figures is very direct. The Stations of the Cross here are very old and somewhat faded, but they still retain aspects of beauty. The stained glass windows are great. They don't make them like this anymore. They've got the standard stuff, as well as a window featuring St. Joan of Arc in full armor, a castle behind her. That cool little number is located by the stairs that lead to the choir loft. In the window, St. Joan is depicted raising her eyes, presumably towards Heaven, but the artist made her look as though she's simply rolling them in annoyance at the congregation. I know that I'm not supposed to laugh at religious art, but I got a kick of that one. Tee hee! Some things to note about St. Joseph's Chapel: it's a small space, so the choir will really sound at times like they're belting it out; the pew kneelers are hard as rocks; there is no parking lot, so be prepared to park alongside the road; and the chapel is directly across the street from the Garrison Fire House, so if the fire alarm goes off while you're here, it will wail away VERY loudly and you won't be able to hear a thing until it stops. But those are all minor caveats, in my opinion. All in all, if you're in the neighborhood on a Sunday and want to swing by St. Joseph's Chapel, it's probably worth your time. It's such a pretty little church and is hard to resist.

It was very strange that I received the card with daily prayers that I can give in remembrance. My friend in Kentucky a month or so ago asked me to pray and send cards to her son that was fighting colon cancer. I started writing to him and he enjoyed cards from me. Yesterday at 9:38am he passed away in Louisville where he lived. I heard from his mother on Saturday he didn't have much time. But I certainly was shocked that yesterday I found the remembrance card in my mailbox. It will be perfect acknowledgment for my friend (his mother). He was a young man and just married in 2022. It's also very strange I just reviewed Ford Motor Company. When I wrote the Ford review I didn't know this young man worked at Ford. He also asked all of us to write to Senator Mitch McConnell regarding funding for clinical trials. His medical team had to find alternative treatment when he could no longer participate in the clinical trials. Funding is necessary for friars missions and doctors medial! Naturally I have supported the Franciscans. St. Francis was always my favorite Saint. If you get to Garrison you may want to visit the center. I'll continue to support financially as I can. They sure are spiritually connected with me. The card was timely.
