Old Chapel on the University of Pretoria Campus

IMG_8318_2.jpg
My one son was taking part in a serenade performance on the campus of Pretoria. This took place in this small Catholic Chapel which is on the University grounds. The Chapel was built in 1925 and was known as the Church of Saint Alfons Maria de Liguori. The Chapel was bought from the church in 1980 and is mainly used for weddings. The photo above is of a very interesting small organ, with the pipes on top of it, I never saw an organ like this before. The photo below shows the main organ which is elevated and at the back of the church, this organ also looks beautiful.

Below you can see the right side of the church with some more stained glass windows. This is a rather small, but beautiful little church.

We enjoyed the singing of the students a lot, it was a beautiful morning of music in a beautiful old church!! Below is a photo of the outside of the church, which I got from the internet.

Thank you so much.

For me there is nothing that I enjoy more, than a singing performance either of young people or children singers inside a church, it seems to me something very sublime and I get so excited that I feel like crying and my skin gets choked with emotion, I congratulate him for his son who performed in that serenade, I imagine him full of pride and in a church so beautiful and very old architecture, it was very good show, greetings @rynow

I will tell him, and yes he enjoys it a lot and is very proud of their performance. Greetings.

Lord thank you for your blessings !!!!!!!!!!!

Friend, what a beautiful church, listening to a church choir is like listening to angels sing, sure you feel proud that your only son has to do with the church

Greetings to your family

Hi @jennimorillo, thank you for the nice comment, I think my English was not correct, I should have said "one of my son's" as, I have 3 sons and a daughter. I agree it is great to know that my children are involved in the church.

4 children what happiness, children are a blessing

Amazing photography and nice description.
