St. Gregory the Great Church

<p>There is an extensive history to this church and the grounds it sits upon, formerly the site of a farmhouse. The tall tower in the center is located where the silo once was, and the church was designed in the shape of a dove, as St. Gregory was said to always have doves on his shoulders. The church's cornerstone was blessed by Pope John Paul II when parishioners brought it to Rome in 1981.  </p> <p>St. Gregory's boasts more than 1,500 parishioners. The church's many programs include catechism, ministry to the sick, youth groups and CrossRoads, an intergenerational discussion group.</p>
