Cathedral on the Plains

 St Marys Catholic Church in St Benedict, Kansas is a lovely spot, even to those who are not religious.  The cathedral is filled with religious icons in the form of paintings and statues.  There is a grotto outside the cathedral that tells the story of the WWII unit from St Benedict and the successful completion of their mission.  The place is both beautiful and peaceful.  The drive there also allows from spectacular views of the prairie and numerous historical markers and opportunities for side trips.  The town itself is small but offers charm to those visiting.  For even a fraction of the feeling one feels in the presence of the Sistine Chapel visit this lovely site.
