Book Description
A Romanesque Success. - In a book, "St. Agnes Church, Cleveland, Ohio." whose numerous illustrations validate the text, Anne O'Hare McCormick tells how John T. Comes of Pittsburgh, built one of his most beautiful architectural accomplishments, translating " into words the things that St. Agnes' has to say, in its architecture, its decoration and its symbolism." It details the realization for the Rev. Dr. Gilbert P. Jennings, pastor of St. Agnes', of "a plan that would meet squarely all modern and practical requirements, that would retain the flavor and spirit of the best Romanesque traditions and yet give to Cleveland a church of some distinction and originality, expressing the ancient and modern continuity of the Church, and also the power of her adaptability to the language of the day." The photographic reproductions of the building easily persuade the reader that " no passerby, however casual, could escape the impression that it was conceived in faith and built in love." Further explanation in regard to the generosity that built and paid for all this asserts that, " In twenty-seven years there has never been a personal solicitation nor a public record of contributions." Countless weary and anxious rectors, no doubt, would be glad to have Dr. Jennings show them how he accomplished this result.-- Mr. Comes has out a new and enlarged edition of his " Catholic Art and Architecture " (the author, Pittsburgh) an excellent lecture he gives to seminarians and parish groups, which has already been favorably noticed in these columns. The brochure contains fifty pages of fine pictures to illustrate the text. -America, Vol. 24

Book Description
In a centurys time, Portuguese explorers had discovered two-thirds of the world. In 1542, Joao Rodrigues Cabrilho uncovered the west coast of America when he sailed into a large bay sheltered by a beautiful peninsula that would someday be known as Point Loma. By the 20th century, a small group of Portuguese immigrants had settled in the La Playa area in pursuit of a life on the sea. They brought their unique traditions and folklore customs, built churches and halls, and celebrated with Holy Spirit Festas in the streets of their new homeland. Today 19,717 make up San Diegos Portuguese community, where many of them still live in Point Loma.

Book Description
A “delightful” tour of Rome’s St. Agnes Outside the Walls, examining the stories, rituals, and architecture of this seventeen-hundred-year-old building (The Christian Science Monitor). In The Geometry of Love, acclaimed author Margaret Visser, the preeminent “anthropologist of everyday life,” takes on the living history of the ancient church of St. Agnes. Examining every facet of the building, from windows to catacombs, Visser takes readers on a mesmerizing tour of the old church, covering its social, political, religious, and architectural history. In so doing, she illuminates not only the church’s evolution but also its religious legacy in our modern lives. Written as an antidote to the usual dry and traditional studies of European churches, The Geometry of Love is infused with Visser’s unmatched warmth and wit, celebrating the remarkable ways that one building can reveal so much about our history and ourselves.
