Looking forward to making a visit to this 6 lane Catholic Church bowling alley. Its a good vedio on the
group that plays there, and their equipment. Located in kansas https://www.facebook.com/pages/St-Johns-Catholic-Club/226914887383887?id=226914887383887&sk=photos_streamcity kansas! vedio article has address! Wood floors, and ancient pin setter! Its St. John the Baptist Catholic Church.

scroll down to see the NEW LANES they have installed! They also have some fun tournaments, with nice payoffs! Read about the Bride that went from the wedding to bowl in her wedding gown.

Very appropriate, since one of the origins of the sport goes back to German monks trying to knock down a single kegel (pin).

There were a few churches back home in Chicago that had their own lanes. I think the last one was taken out just recently.

Thats, SAD!! I am going to call the preist, and find out what hours they operate just to get some of the ambience... I am a sucker for the old movie theaters too!!
That one in kansas city Kansas looks like fun!!

Sorry they have deleted the link,,, I was a great article about the history of that Church and its LOVE of bowling, and fellowship! It is still in operation, but I hear they have replaced the wood with synthetic,,,, (:(!!

I think you can google, or what ever, "Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church bowling Kansas city Missouri" Worth a look!
