St. Nicolas du Chardonnet

I entered the Parisian metro at the Malesherbes station about 9:30 Sunday morning... 3 lines, 18 stops, and 45 minutes later, I emerged into the daylight, two blocks away from St. Nicolas du Chardonnet. I followed a group of "trad" looking people who appeared to know each other to the church. Yes! I successfully made it to St. Nicolas yesterday for the 10:30 Mass!! (Last week, you see, I missed Mass :( because I didn't realize it would take an hour to travel six miles and I didn't have a map with me.) I was very happy to be there... at Mass in a foreign country is the best way to truly realize that the Catholic church is indeed one and universal.

From the back of the Church, at the end of the 9 am Mass:
This huge crucifix was beautiful!

It seems that the habit of chatting with friends outside after Mass is just as universal as the Mass itself! ;)
