Nice.

A communion rail would be even nicer.

I think there is a railing but with a wide opening to the altar. Appears there is no freestanding altar.

Yes, this one's nicely done. The only thing that I might have done differently would be to have a slightly contrasting color on the wall behind the high altar so it doesn't get lost from the back of the nave. Might also have introduced some blue to the top of the apse to tie, thematically, both sides of the church together. Looks great otherwise!

I hate those kitsch angels on either side of the altar- so faux, and typical of Disney US churches!

Romulus Augustus here, and I love this church stunning to say the least this is what I call what a Roman Catholic church should look like and yes with the TLM!!!

“Kitsch angels” and typical Disney churches etc !!
But I’d predict one like yourself would be silent and or very tolerant of about a hundred and one liturgical abuses up to and including nuns and young people prancing around at Mass in leotards etc ( ie tight leggings or yoga pants) as a form of worship known as “modern liturgical dance”.

The angels don't seem any more "kitschy" to me than the Sacred Heart statue in the middle of the reredos....

At least the "kitsch angels" are adoring the blessed sacrament given that most no longer believe in the true presence. Good this practice is still maintained by the "Disney churches".

Romulus Augustus here, I will take "kitsch" angels over GREEN FELT BANNERS on each side of the altar! Angels that are adoring Our Lord in the Tabernacle, but hey the Novus Ordo prefer felt banners instead of angels.
