    Sister Kate is the best! This church is deeply involved in the community and I feel welcome every…read moretime I attend. Highly recommended.

    I was visiting the area from the Diocese of Fresno, and I attended this parish as a visitor…read more Recognizing that "they do things differently" there is not a sufficient criticism, there were a few things that made me doubt the orthodoxy of this parish. First, the design of the church. The seats had no kneelers, and nobody kneeled during the consecration. In addition, one of the first things I do when I enter a new church is to look for the tabernacle so that I can genuflect toward the reserved sacrament; it must have been there (it was a Catholic church, after all), but for the life of me I could never find it. My most serious concern was the behavior of the parish administrator during the mass, a religious sister, not a priest. The priest is in the place of Christ during the mass, and should be focus. This sister stood on the altar podium during the entire mass, drawing a second center of attention from the priest. She led most of the prayers from there. It felt like I was watching a tug-of-war between her and the priest. More disturbing, at one point she modified the words of the Roman Missal to make them more "inclusive" (and presumably more in line with her personal preferences). (She changed the prayer, "May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands .. and the good of all his holy Church" to "May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands ... and the good of all God's holy Church."). I understand what she was doing, and I'm sorry, but the words of the mass are not hers to change.

    It is my honor to do the first review of Life Church, Albany…read more Welcome to Church in the 21st century. Life Church goes out of there way to keep you connected to God in every way possible. Here are the many benefits to Life Church: First and foremost every aspect of the service is about God and learning through his word. There is no hooplah i.e. Benny Hinn. The sermon is virtual. The lead pastor is video taped and his sermon is broadcast all over the world and during life church services. You can access his sermon anywhere and at anytime from the Life Church App. Pastor Craig's sermons are always thoughtfully delivered with passion. He is one of the best I have ever heard and witnessed. He also preaches based on a theme or series which is intended to relate to our current world. The music at this church is absolutely amazing. Every week feels like a live concert. I am a musician and I am always impressed by the passion and musicality. The sound system, TV screens and lighting is also state of the art. Some serious $ was invested. On the life church app you can stay in touch with Life Church, provide your offerings, read the bible and connect with small groups of which there are many and are located all over the capital region. I should also mention the people that volunteer on Sunday are awesome as well. They always offer a smile or a wave. Parking attendants, ushers, hospitality (they provide coffee, snacks, juice) work very hard and everything runs seamlessly. If you are looking for something new or are looking to reconnect with God this may be an awesome church to do that.

    How can you pass up Polish Easter food when you don't have to cook it? This church advertised in…read moreseveral media outlets, including Yelp, that they were making Polish Easter food available for purchase the day before Palm Sunday. There were both hot meals available for takeout and frozen foods available for later preparation. Their organized setup demonstrated that they had plenty of experience carrying out such a complicated project. Plenty of parking available, online orders vs. walk-ins were directed where to go upon entering the building, plenty of staff/volunteers available at a row of tables to either take your walk-in order or fill your prepaid online order. Ours was an online order. Our name and order number were checked off on their list and a copy of our order was given to staff behind a line of partition screens to compile the order. Once the order was fully bagged, which took no more than 10 minutes, it was brought in front of the screens and the customer's name or order number was announced. This was the only small negative I observed. The large hall had sound reverberating from the number of people and ongoing activity. This made hearing your name or number difficult to hear at times. We ordered two hot Polish Platters ($16 each) consisting of two potato cheddar pierogi, kielbasa, kapusta, and golabki. This also came with a slice of rye bread and some sour cream. The pierogi had sautéed onions on them, but still seemed to lack some flavor. Salt and pepper helped, but I think a more flavorful cheese with the potato would have been my preference. The dumpling dough was thin enough and not overcooked. The kielbasa had a good amount of flavor, especially garlic, and was the only item in the dish that was noticeably salty. The kapusta was good and not very sour. The golabki surprised me because the meat filling was closer to how my mother made them with not much rice mixed in. These were served with a tomato sauce (Mom's never had a sauce) similar to a spaghetti sauce. Regardless of the criticism I've offered, I most certainly would be interested in ordering this platter again. We also ordered some of the frozen pierogi for future meals. The church is partnering with Babcia's Pierogi in Buffalo. They offered 16 varieties of filling for their pierogi with six to a package. We ordered two of the more traditional fillings, potato cheddar ($9.99) and kraut ($9.99), along with two non-traditional, jalapeño popper ($11.99) and beef on weck ($11.99). Some flavors we passed on THIS TIME were Buffalo Wing, Stuffed Banana Pepper, Sausage Asiago & Spinach, Taco, Kielbasa & Kraut, Apple, Blueberry Cheese, and Reuben pierogi. NEXT TIME! We were given a handout announcing "The Pierogi Bar" on June 18, 2022. Better check my calendar.

    Traditional Catholic Liturgy and Devotions with Contemporary…read moreApproach to Bible Teaching and Faith ​​ We are a catholic church and welcome people of all ethnic, racial and social backgrounds. Our beliefs are based on Holy Scripture, Christian Tradition, and Church Ecumenical Synods. HOLY MASS The Holy Mass is the central act of worship in all churches of the Catholic Community, including the National Catholic Church. The Mass is the Sacrifice of the New Testament that Jesus Christ has offered on the cross at Calvary. ​ COMMUNION Holy Communion is given under two forms, Bread and Wine. The Sacred Host is dipped into the Consecrated Wine and administered to the faithful at the altar. Only Priests and Deacons administer the Eucharist. ​ CONFESSION It is a humble confession of our faults to Almighty God. Public Confession with a General Absolution is a part of every Mass. In this form, the faithful make an examination of conscience and confess their sins in silence directly and privately to God, asking forgiveness. The entire congregation then recites the Prayer of Confession together, and then receives penance and sacramental absolution from the priest. ​ PRIEST CAN MARRY Because it is the perfectly natural thing for a man to do. Our church sees no moral reason to forbid a man to receive the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony simply because he happens to be a priest. Tradition tells us that all but one of the Twelve Apostles were married. Popes, bishops and priests of the early church were all married men. Many believe that a married priest is more likely to understand the problems of marriage and child rearing because he has gone through them. ​ BIRTH CONTROL The utilization of birth control is a matter of personal judgment for husband and wife. It is not the responsibility of the church to tell its communicants how many children they must or must not have. Marriage serves other major purposes besides the procreation of children. ​ ABORTION Abortion is morally wrong, for it is the ending of a life that has already begun. The church does not sanction it. ​ DIVORCE There are no discriminatory regulations against those who have suffered from a divorce; divorced people may participate in Mass and receive Holy Communion.  The Church has an obligation to lend its support and ministry to those who have divorced, as it would to casualties of other social ills. ​ RE-MARRY Yes. Each Diocese has a Matrimonial Commission that studies each request for marriage by persons who have been divorced. This commission presents its finding to the Diocesan Bishop with its recommendation. The Bishop makes the final decision. ​ WE GOVERN We govern in accordance with the PNCC Constitution.  In matters of faith, morals and discipline, bishops and priests possess the authority to explain and teach the doctrinal position of Christ's Church. In financial and administrative matters, the Parishioners possess administrative authority. ​ Duties of Parishioners Members of the Church have a twofold duty: spiritual and material. Spiritual Duties: Worship, love and obedience to God expressed by private prayer; active participation in the corporate worship of the Church; active participation in the sacramental life of the Church and the proper rearing of children by the good examples of parents and guardians. ​ Material Duties: - Comply with enactment's of General, Special and Diocesan Synods - Comply with financial obligations adopted by the Parish, the Diocese and the Church - Endeavor to make free will offerings as the needs of the Church and the Parish require - Actively support Parish organizations and activities through donations of time & talent ​
