Nature Church



The entrance of the Church has a gate made of wood branches weaved together at the end, and the surrounding walls are adobe like blocks populated by creeping flowers and weeping vines. The top of the church has a wooden cross that is lit at night. There is also a chapel beside the church with wooden pews and a San Damiano cross in the front.
Fr. Raniero Cantalamesa, the preacher to the papal household, wrote that God revealed Himself to us through creation and through the Word (written and oral). How fitting to read and preach the Word of God in a nature like setting. God revealed fully in the Nature Church of Mary Immaculate Parish.
