Saturday's church
Saint Adalberts Catholic Church 265 Charles Ave St Paul, MN 55103 . This simple brick church was built by catholic Polish immigrants in 1879. The steeples can be seen from some distance. My parents were married in this church, shortly after it was built, or maybe about 50 years ago, I forget which. Yes there is a man working on the church, he is up by the steeple toward the back on the right. His name is Henry, the church roofer. I don't know the names of the three pigeons near the east steeple.
The church roofer. I admire his courage, I don't like heights or power lines much.

It's really amazing that what must have been the old St. Adelbert's Catholic Church School has been renovated into what is now New Spirit Public Charter School which is part of the St. Paul School District! It is a really neat experience subbing in the old St. Adelbert's Catholic School now New Spirit Public Charter School which is located right next to the church. The ceilings are high with old painted walls and finished baseboards. We can only imagine how teachers or nuns must have felt when they worked and taught at St. Adelbert's School many years ago! St. Adelbert's seems to be a school with students who seem to be mostly of Hmong or of Asian descent. What an awesome way to recycle old buildings and make them new again!
