Our Lord lives in a teepee tabernacle


In St Joseph's Church, Montana. It is an obscure reference also to the tent of the presence which was the travelling tabernacle used by the Jewish people prior to the construction of the Temple.

But at St. Joseph's Catholic Church on John d'Or Prairie, Alberta, Canada, the Sisters of St Cretienne had a whole church built as a teepee, thinking this would impress the locals. This is yet another failed attempt at interculturation, building respect but no conversions. There used to be 16 sisters working in the area in the not too distant past, there are now 2.




And two more examples at an unidentified parish somewhere out West!




First the Church is discoved playing cowboys and then at being Indians. I know St Paul suggested being all things to all men but this is taking matters a bit too far.

As well as my previous report, pictures from two Cow-herders Masses in Brazil.
