A part of the prairie
"It's gotta be a Fay Jones" my husband and I exclaimed when we spotted this church outside of Omaha, Nebraska. Thanks to the buildings and chapel at Powell Gardens in Kansas City, we are familiar with his style of architecture and love his use of wood and glass.
Of course, we had to journey off the highway and get a closer look at the Holy Family Shrine. From the parking lot, much of the church is hidden from view and screened by the native grasses. The entrance to the visitors' center was carved out of the hillside and is landscaped with grasses and many native and ornamental flowering perennials. 
A stream of water begins in the visitors' center and is a part of the path leading into the chapel to the base of the altar. The view of the surrounding prairie from inside is simply magnificent!
