Dropped in at Mary Immaculate of Lourdes parish in Newton for the Monday evening Perpetual Help novena, followed by Benediction. Here’s how the sanctuary looks (click the picture for a full-size version).
There are some aspects that could be improved, of course. It would need a sanctuary rail for the distribution of Holy Communion; and, yes, the ambo on the left looks cheap and blockish compared to the dignity of the altar and the reredos. Still, in general this is a decently well-preserved parish church.

RC, from the Mary Immaculate of Lourdes website, here’s a picture of the sanctuary at the church’s 1910 dedication. How much of a job would it be to restore it?
