Bucket List of Faith: Dallas, TX (The Prequel)

This week is spring break here in sunny rainy mildly cloudy Central Texas, and between sleeping until 8 A.M. and getting to wear leggings all day, my friends and I are headed to Dallas, TX, for a mini-vacation! As a student teacher, I could not be any more excited about this adventure.

Two of my dear friends plan to head to Six Flags Over Texas for a day; Brian and I are BLOF-ing instead! We will post more in a couple of days about our adventures, but here's where we plan to visit... for now:

-Catholic Church of St. Mary the Virgin (an Ordinariate!)
-St. Philopateer Coptic Orthodox Church
-Debre Meheret St. Michael (Ethiopian) Cathedral
-St. George Malankara (Indian) Orthodox Church
-Cathedral of St. Seraphim of Sarov (Orthodox Church in America)
-Gurdwawa Nishkam Seva (Sikhism)

For a visual of where these beautiful and unique churches are located, I've embedded a map below. If you've got suggestions of more unique BLOF-worthy places to visit while we roadtrip, let us know!



Right now, these are the churches we have left (not including the five above); we would love buddies or suggestions of places to go, in Central Texas or Dallas! Blue represents a place we have visited, yellow is on our Dallas MegaBLOF, and green means we have not been... yet.
