Where's Fr. Christensen? Part II

Another of the three parishes I have been taking care of for the past couple of weeks is St. Anthony's in Selby, SD. Selby has a population of 647. The Church has a beautiful statue of St. Anthony:



Here is a wide view of the Sanctuary:

Above the Altar is suspended a beautiful crucifix with Jesus vested as a priest, after all on the cross He was both Priest and Victim. Something that you liturgy nuts (myself included of course) will notice is that Jesus is wearing a Maniple:

St. Anthony's has a cabinet that has various liturgical items in it. Oh, if only some of them were still being used:


Next on our tour of the Catholic Churches of North Central South Dakota will be St. Joseph's in Eureka.
