From Catholic Russia: finally completed...

Before as seen above...
And after...





Good news: this is a Catholic Latin rite parish which by some miracle survived the destruction of the Russian Revolution. It is located on the Sea of Japan in Vladivostok, Russia. The cornerstone reads 1908 and with the October Revolution of 1917 the faithful were unable to finish the church with steeples and so for generations the church was left unfinished. Until today. Just this summer, after so many years of wait and hope, the pastor and parishioners rejoiced as they watched as the new steeples were put into place, 100 years after the construction of the church. Be a part of this historic event and support these guys in every way: http://www.vladmission.org/.

Woohoo! That's awesome! Pass my congratulations to the Frs. and your mother (and the rest of the staff of the Mission Society) for seeing this through!
