As a person of a certain age, the name Sylvester brings up a particular cat and his catchphrase, “Thuffering thuccotash!” Needless to say, this is not the namesake of St Sylvester Church but rather the fourth-century Pope of that name (whose papacy was the ninth-longest recorded).
The church (part of a two-church parish) is located at the east end of Palmer Square. They win bonus welcoming points in that one of the parishioners approached me after the Mass to inform me that tomorrow’s Mass would be at 10a rather than 8.30a.
I apparently forgot to take a picture of the sanctuary of the church before Mass so I only have the exterior, one of the original confessionals and a pair of the sculptural stations of the cross.
