…and God said “Bring your camera and I will give you a photo-op”peoria_landmark_205.jpg

From the book Reading, Writing, and Religion by Monica Vest Wheeler- “Formally organized in 1891, St. Mark’s Church was built the following year at Underhill and Bradley. It was extensively remodeled and enlarged in 1920, described in the 1930’s as ‘one of the largest and most beautiful churches in the diocese.’”

    Actually, I was picking up pizza at Bacci’s and just happened to look up! :) I was in a wedding at St Marks three days before I gave birth to our daughter. Nothing like cutting it close!
