Churches x 2 in Temora, NSW

St. Mary's Catholic Church in Temora, it was locked.
Next photo is the Catholic School.
Second last photo is the main street in Temora.




The school belonging to St. Mary's above,
Trinity Lutheran Church below.




The race horse called Paleface Adios was a harness racing horse who was a pacer throughout the 1970's and early 1980's.  Can remember hearing about the horse back then.

    1. Thanks Jordi...not that far from home was up on Mt. Barrow a couple of winters ago before we went north for the remainder of the winter.

  2. Suelen abrir las iglesias, a la hora del culto. También algunas tienen su horario de visitas, independientemente del culto.

    Me gusta su fachada y es una lástima, que no hayas podido ver su interior.

    Besos

    1. You are correct when they open, if the school is using the church during the week it's open for that time only.

  3. Both churches are beautiful. The catholic church is so much bigger, maybe they have more members. Nice race horse for the entrance to the park.
    Have a great day!

    1. Have found that Catholic Church's usually are larger and often on the highest hill in a town :) more money I expect and Mass was with Irish Priests gradually Australian Priest were introduced as time went on.
      You could say I am an Irish Catholic...lol

  4. I can remember hearing about Pace Face Adios too. I had no idea it was that long ago though.
    Temora is beautifully maintained isn't it?

  6. I know Temora very well - played squash there every Thursday night when I lived in West Wyalong.
    Nobody had a bad word to say about good old Paleface! If you were stupid enough to your face may be re-organised - ha ha!
    Was also the best man at a wedding of a mate in that Catholic Church.......brings back great memories of the 1970's! Thanks.
    E-mail on my live under coronavirus 19 soon.

    1. Photos were taken during the week and not at a weekend, makes a difference :)
      It is a nice Church it's a pity didn't get inside.

  9. I find it disappointing that churches are locked up these days. They used to be open most of the time for people who wanted a quiet moment. I like the little Lutheran church.

    1. It sure is disappointing. I can remember going into a any town and visiting inside a church no matter what denomination it was and taking photos.
      The Lutheran Church is rather nice as so many churches are regardless.
