Hi Christa, thanks so much for visiting and your kind words. You'll also find a lot of coverage of the Papal Mass, Gaudi, and other Catalan topics on my other blog, The Blog of the Courtier. You can also use "Catalonia" or "Catalan" as a search term on that blog to see some previous pieces I've written about various Catalan-themed subjects, such as the caganer or Barcelona's beautiful sidewalk tiles.My mother is from Barcelona, and I lived there briefly as a child and go back regularly, so it's a pretty important part of my life. I hope you are enjoying your time there. And thanks again for your visit, come again!

Hola, I am an American living in Barcelona and was looking for some English commentary on the Mass yesterday. I came across your series of blogs and am quite impressed. Your blogs seem to indicate that you live in DC. Are you Catalan? Or have you lived in Barcelona for some period and fell in love with Catalan Catholicism (what there is left of it…)? Anyway, very interesting find.. thanks for all the hard work you put into it! Best, Christa

For my English-language readers, Ms. Giner comments that the church is very beautiful, and that she and a friend restored the Stations of the Cross in the Church earlier this year.Le agradzeco mucho por la informacion y para su visita, Sra.!

Esta iglesia es muy,muy bonita, a principios de este año 2010 restauré junto con una amiga todos los cuadros del Via Cruzis, éste no es antiguo y no muy bonito,pero una vez restaurado quedó bien. Un cordial saludo. MªDolors Giner.
