| • | This is one of my favorite churches anywhere in the world. It is a lovely place to spend some time and is not in the slightest bit scary – so don’t let the idea of spirits hanging around bother you. My family often went to Mass here when I was small and we lived a few blocks away. The student chapel next door burned to the ground many years ago, and in fact my great aunt and her husband were the last ones married there before it was destroyed. Such a lovely church and campus, no wonder some folks would want to stick around! Photos: Mission Santa Clara with orbs |
