Sorry, I didn’t realize this is a caucus thread. Could you perhaps answer me by pm so I don’t disturb the tenor of this discussion? Thank you

I think it’s ok to answer this one. A Marian church is typically one that is named “Our Lady Of...” Mine is Our Lady of Walsingham. These churches simply have a bit of a special devotion to her. We have a shrine to her near the back of the property. THere is a statue of Mary with the Child Jesus, a fountain... it’s just a nice place to sit, and sometimes we process there on special feast days. Vandals have smashed the statue on several occasions. It’s unfortunate, but most unfortunate for those who have such hate in their hearts.
