St. Joseph and Michael Church, Union City

The original stained glass windows reflect the German origins of the parish, which was founded as St. Joseph’s in 1889 to accommodate the overflow from the huge Passionist St. Michael’s Monastery nearby. When the Passionists closed St. Michael’s in 1982, St. Joseph took on St. Michael’s name as well. (Source)

Cathedral Church of St. Luke, Portland

For the first-time visitor, liturgy may be exhilarating… or confusing. Services may involve standing, sitting, kneeling, sung or spoken responses, and other participatory elements that may provide a challenge for the first-time visitor. However, liturgical worship can be compared with a dance: once you learn the steps, you come to appreciate the rhythm, and it becomes satisfying to dance, again and again, as the music changes.

The present church exterior was completed in 1840 and was ultimately declared a landmark by Federal, State and City agencies.
