Images A58-362, 031, 359; I captured these images of St. John's Catholic Church while visiting in Beloit, Kansas. This structure built of native limestone rock was completed in 1904. The twin towers are 100' tall, 108' including the crosses adorning each tower. The photo (left) is just one of 29 beautiful windows in the entire church. These windows depict various saints, biblical characters and scenes.
African marble trim (right) was installed in 1906. It is a duplicate of an altar which the French erected in a church in Rome to honor Pope Leo XIII. This is now called the altar of repose, where the tabernacle containing the Holy Eucharist is kept. The new Mass altar, side altars, lecterns, and Communion stations are also of imported marble. This church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 14, 1975.
