A Glistening Jewel In The Desert



St. Richards Catholic Church
Leaving the Anza Borrego Desert, we saw what appeared to be a small mission off in the distance. We then noticed a car coming down a road which appeared could be leading to the area. When we arrived at the intersection the road marker read Church Rd. Approximately one mile down the road we found a beautiful well maintained area with three churches, an Episcopal, Methodist and the Catholic church. We stepped inside the Catholic Church and were so amazed at the architecture and beautiful art glass windows. The congregation couldn't be very large as the seating capacity of the church was possibly one hundred or less. It was truly a glistening jewel in the desert.
