Marmion Abbey
Abbey
👍👍 Catholics, come home.
Enjoy the peace and serenity of the Eucharist once again.
Usually six to twelve priests say Mass at 11:20 on weekdays. 45 minutes tops.
Remember to stop by for reconciliation first or make a spiritual communion if you've been away.
God Bless.

Lippold Park - Fox Valley Park District

👍👍 An absolutely wonderful park. They have clean restrooms, a neat little obstacle course, and some nice paths for walking and biking. I suggest going out on the boardwalk to check out the marshy areas by the river
They are doing some construction here, but most of it is accessible.
