Yes, I started the group. The picture is from the shrine at Holy Hill. Have you ever been up there? It's amazing!

Oh, I have, it's beautiful, especially since they remodeled a few years ago. My son is friends with the organist there, and last Christmas Eve my children all had the great privilege of singing at the 4:00 Mass. It's scary driving on all those hills in the ice! I love it best in the fall. Is that your parish?

No, it's not our parish, but it's pretty close to us and we go there a LOT. Lately we've been making it about once a week for a weekday Mass (I love it that they have an 11 am mass every day) and often on Sundays too. I have three nephews that work there as well - two as sacristans and one in the cafe.

It's wonderful to bring sketchbooks up on a quiet weekday (like Monday or Tuesday) and climb up into the tower to draw pictures.

You are blessed! It is so beautiful there! My favorite place to go for inspiration and peaceful prayer is an outing in Bayview. I love to go to the Salzmann Library at the Seminary for books, then over to the Lakefront across the street to look for Sea Glass. I follow it up with a visit with Jesus in the Adoration Chapel at the Convent next to the Seminary. We are fortunate to have so many beautiful, prayerful places in Milwaukee, aren't we?
