Last Saturday evening I took a trip into Chisinau, the Moldovan capital. I met up with about a dozen other Peace Corps Volunteers to attend a Catholic Mass in the English language. It is done every Saturday at 5 pm at the Catholic cathedral in Chisinau. The main church which you can see us entering above has a simple style that reminded me of the Spanish mission churches of California. The interior is simple but beautiful. Our Mass was held in a smaller chapel that was decorated with beautiful paintings of Mary, but you can see the modern artistic windows. The large white building above is the Opera House in Chisinau, and you see me standing in front of a bell tower that is in the middle of a beautiful park. After Mass we went to a Greek Restaurant called Opa and enjoyed supper together.
