Greetings,

My name is Andrew Masi and I'm known as the Catholic Photographer, a shutterbug from the great state of CT.

I'm currently on a pilgrimage to visit & take pics of beautiful Catholic churches across America.

Follow along to join me on this incredible journey!

Today is the Solemnity of Pentecost. We celebrate when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Blessed Apostles to give them the courage and wisdom to spread the Gospel.

Come, Holy Spirit, Come! 🔥

Attended Holy Mass tonight for the Vigil of the Seventh Sunday of Easter at St. Mary's Church in Derby, CT. It's a part of Our Lady, Queen of the Apostles Parish within the @ArchdioceseHart.

A beautiful and vibrant parish community!

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls,
and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.
O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy,
envelop the whole world and empty yourself out upon us.
(Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska, 1319)

He Is Risen! He Is Truly Risen! Alleluia! Alleluia!

A happy and blessed Easter to all who celebrate! May the joy of Christ's glorious resurrection fill your hearts with joy, love, happiness and peace.

#Passiontide is the final two weeks of the Holy Season of #Lent, a more intense period of prayer and recollection in which we draw closer to Jesus as we prepare to meditate on His suffering and death.

@BostonCathedral is the Mother Church of the @bostoncatholic and is considered to be one of the most beautiful churches in the city of Boston.

This is one of top favorite Catholic Churches here in the United States. A true gem of American Catholicism!

First stop on a trip to Boston is to Madonna, Queen of the Universe Shrine. Such a magnificent place of worship! A wonderful tribute to Our Blessed Mother!

Today is #AshWednesday, which marks the beginning of the Holy Season of #Lent ✝️

[EWTN Vatican @EWTNVatican]

“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
On this Ash Wednesday, as Pope Leo XIV humbly receives ashes for the first time as pontiff, the whole Catholic Church bows with him — entering Lent 2026 as a journey of repentance, mercy, and hope toward Easter.

Blessed James Miller, Religious, pray for us!

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Our Lord was baptized in the River Jordan and begun his public ministry.

"John said: One mightier than I is coming; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire." - Luke 3:16
