MISSION CHURCH IN BETHLEHEM

Bethlehem, CT - This is what is known as the "Mission" church. It is called that because it used to be shaped like an old Spanish Mission. Over the years the Spanish style bell tower was removed. Every Sunday a priest would come from Watertown, about eight miles away, to say mass. Today, a new church is built across the street and there is a priest in residence. This is also the church I was married in, many moons ago. We had a bluegrass band playing in the church and at the reception, but that is a story for another time.
