40 Days, 40 Churches

Day 35: North Shore Chapel, Danvers MA

We pass this church when we go to and from the highway. It's in the building that used to house St. Alphonsus, a Catholic parish that was merged into ours. The name lives on, however, as both this website and the billboard that just went up down the street reference the address by noting the St. Alphonsus name. I have to think on some level it must be galling to have to refer to your current church by the name of the one that preceded you in the space. It's like a Burger King that mentions it's where the McDonald's used to be.
