Today was my guided tour of Fargo and surrounding area.

Welcome to St Marys Cathedral, Home of Bishop John Folda, This is the perpetual adoration chapel, this chapel is NEVER left unattended. 24/7 It was my favorite prayer spot in Fargo.

Next stop the Hjemkomst Centre..Home to the wonderful hand built "Hjemkomst" Viking long ship , the dream and lifes work of Robert Asp ..Sailed from the USA to Norway in 1982 by a crew of 12 including his daughter & several sons. Sadly Bob did not live to see the successful voyage.

The ship sits in the centre of the museum .

We also saw a replica of a 900 yr old Norwiegan Church built & financed by a local benifactor.. Guy Paul, co financed by his wife & sister.

Our guide showed us the ornate carvings & authentic iron work undertaken by Paul himself.

Guy Paul also mixed authentic pigments & hand painted the scenes in this little structure.

This replica Irish cross, is also identical to the one in Norway situated adjacent to the historic church.

My choice of lunch destination was North Dacota Famous "Pizza Corner".
The company originally produced frozen Pizza for local supermarkets , now the shop is a small scale production for locals & has outsourced its major production ... They forgot Ians Jalapenos & he says the medium pizza is really too big for one person , but he did his best.

We had an ice cream afterwards.

Meet Jack , the resident antique shopcat , he loves Cuddles & I was happy to oblige.

St Catherines church Valley City ( St Catherine, of wheel fame ) Monsiegnor Sconsing & Deacon Paul Khun look after this parish.

This was Mums fave window " Moody Jesus " .

Anouncements of my friends on the Seminarians poster.

Amazing Hurleys Religous SUPERSTORE..whoop whoop, 3rd time lucky ..it was open ! I bought some cool stuff : )

Coming home to Fargo Diocese . This amazing church was constructed in 2010.

St Ann & Joachim's ( Jesus's Grandparents , Nanny ! )
This is the centre where I was trained for young disciples.

I love this beautiful sanctuary.

Stunning architecture , blending traditional with modern.
