Catholic nerd pilgrimage: Saint Giles

Saint Giles is my home parish, I guess. I’m actually registered elsewhere in Oak Park, but this is the parish where I do music, although for the Mass that’s held in the church hall or gymnasium, not actually in the main church.

St Giles himself was a hermit who lived in the woods with his beloved deer and is, among other things, the patron saint of people who are afraid of the dark.

The front of the church, part of a complex which takes most of a city block in the same Spanish colonial styleThe interior of the church is in an art deco style with a lot of pink marble.
