Catholic places of worship: Share your ancestors' "Doors of Faith" at The Catholic Gene

Catholic churches have played important roles within many of our lives and the lives of our ancestors. Pope Benedict XVI has declared a special Annus Fidei: the Year of Faith 2012-2013 beginning on October 11, 2012 (the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council) and ending on the Solemnity of Christ the King: November 24, 2013.

In honor of the beginning of this Year of Faith, The Catholic Gene is hosting a blog celebration entitled "Doors of Faith" which will highlight the photos and stories of Catholic churches that have helped to spark the light of faith in the lives of our ancestors over the centuries.


If you have Catholic ancestors and would like to share photos and/or stories about a Catholic church (or churches) that played a special role in your family members' faith lives, please visit The Catholic Gene for details about how you can participate. The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 5, 2012. Please join us and also help spread the word!

found your blog while I was looking for blogs from Ireland, in particular Tipperary and about crochet..I began the history search long ago before computers, and my interest is peaked again to search with internet, there is so many avenues to follow. I think I shall pick it up again...

Thanks for visiting, Faith! I hope you do pick up your family history search once again. If you decide to create a blog about it, please let me know. Happy searching!
