  My husband and I visited San Antonio a few summers ago. The Missions are beautiful!

  My summer school homework: I am going to see the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower, San Juan de los Lagos Churh and St. Anthony de Padua Church in San Antonio, TX. Although I have lived here for decades, I have never been to these shrines. Then, if I have time, I will revisit the historic Catholic Missions here.
