Near Allens Park, CO is this historic church built on a rock. In 1916, Monsignor Joseph Bosetti and two of his friends saw a falling meteor. In searching for the meteor, they found this huge rock and decided to build a church on it (Matt 16:18). It was finally built in 1935 and is one of Colorado's historic landmarks. Pope John visited it during World Youth Days in 1933.

That's really great. I'd love to go see that some day.
You can tour the inside - it's really interesting.
Colorado is such a beautiful state. I want to go back there some day and perhaps tour this church also.
What a gorgeous structure! That would make some amazing wedding photos!
That is a really nice shot, Ruthie! The composition is wonderful!
Happy WW!

I've never heard of this site before. What a wonderful building. Colorado has many interesting places nestled in the hills--this one is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Hubby and I have always wanted to visit Colorado. The church is beautiful. It is majestic. Thanks for sharing.

This looks like a castle!!! Is it as beautiful inside?
That is so pretty! I love the story behind it!
How great. That really is a house built on a rock and it looks like it will stand for a long time. I would love to see it in person.
