St. Phillip's Church near Mount Vernon, Indiana was recently built and offered some inspiring features.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



St. Agnes displays beautiful St. Meinrad sandstone inside and out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



St. Boniface exemplifies German Baroque style


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Sacred Heart is a replica of the chapel of the Immaculate Conception at Mundelein Seminary



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


St. Anthony displays slender columns and a striking mural of Christ Pantocrator in the apse



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


St. Mary soars into Gothic arches, a ribbed ceiling, and features an interesting Baptismal font. Do you recognize the saint on the left in the grotto?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


St. Benedict Cathedral is in the Roman Basilica form, with a very Italian-looking belltower and a very nice baldacchino (the structure over the altar)
