Yes, buckle up.

It'll be a fun ride.

861 years of history.

Absolutely masterpieces.

The 1790s were a tumultuous time in France.

First responders risked their lives to save this.

An impressive schedule.

Just amazing.

A welcome sight.

We're glad it was restored to its former glory, without unnecessary modernizations.

Amen.

Looking forward to the rededication Mass.
