I walked in to the church just after the Covid restrictions were lifted because I WANTED to go to…read morechurch. I was greeted warmly by the greeters. The second time I attended multiple people talked to me and the priests have had excellent sermons (especially Jude the current priest). Sometimes the music has more modern items than I prefer, but there is a nice mix of traditional and modern, with mostly excellent performances. They encourage participation, but are not pushy. I prefer liturgical services. This church with it's Episcopal bent, coupled with social consciousness is an excellent choice for anyone looking for more meaning and an actual community in the Menlo Park area. Check it out if you are interested in community or dissatisfied with another church in this area.

**************** REVIEW 426 ******************…read more I'm not Christian nor Catholic, I'm Buddhist in fact, but I've been coming to this church for over 10 years as a volunteer in their Sunday kitchen, cooking for the less fortunate ones. This wonderful church serves the homeless and low income families with a full meal 5 days a week. They join with InnVision and Hands on Bay Area organizations. A full meal consists of a salad, a savory main course, a starch dish, and a veggies dish, plus dessert! We are serving average of 80-120 people per Sunday, and we do offer second meal, when we have enough food donation! It's a beautiful church with open arms to all! Please come by to volunteer, we always need food donation and helpers!

I know this church has had its ups and downs, but I've attended daily and then later Sunday masses…read morefor only 10 years, so I've seen the upturn. Right now, the church is run by the Dominicans who are trained to teach, and in general, they teach well. The only drawback is that there is a fair amount of turnover in the priests based on what's going on in the Dominican order - when someone gets sick or dies, others get moved to fill in gaps and we've gone through a couple of pastors with shorter-than-normal stays. The second priest is generally only assigned for 2-3 years. Families and kids are absolutely welcome here both at daily masses and all the Sunday masses. Both the older parishioners and the priests are very welcoming of kids. There's a cry room in back with audio, and there's a separate program at the Sunday 10am Mass during the readings/homily for the younger kids (2-7 year olds). And if you need to bribe your kids a little, there are donuts after the 10am Mass. The current pastor, Father Jerome is into having parish socials, so there have been monthly BBQs sometimes with ice cream trucks. There are also educational talks from various Dominicans in the area on weeknights. The music is more on the older side (more hymns, less modern) and is consistent across all the masses. For the time I've been here, this parish has been relatively no-drama. I came in right around when the parish priest had an issue and had to leave , but I don't see parishioners fighting, and the priests seem genuinely happy to be assigned here which tells you something. The church is not as ornate as other churches in the area, but the community and solid teaching here makes up for it.

Very solemn funeral service of my brother in-law Patrick McGlennon. But one thing that I noticed,…read morethe bathroom for Men & Women is on the both sides of the entrance of the church. And I don't know why they didn't clean it early in the morning because I totally smelled the pee's of people from last night service of the wake or vigil. That's all, but over all the church is wonderful and the Italian priest and altar boy named Dillon Glanville did a good job. God bless them

I didn't realize I could review IMC on Yelp but it's a place after all, so why not. And it's not…read morejust a place, it's a very lovely place. It's the real real. No flash, all substance. Truly, it changed the direction of my life. I am still myself, always will be, but this place and its people transformed and impacted me in ways I couldn't have predicted. My introduction to the practice and teachings from IMC was very important for my personal development and spiritual growth. When I lived in RWC 5 years ago I was located on Main Street near the In-N-out which was walking distance to the meditation center. I ended up going to the center weekly, regularly. I've been living in Arizona since that time and I am still very much connected to this group. I come back yearly to attend silent vipassana meditation retreats at their center in Santa Cruz, simply named Insight Retreat Center. I told you, no flash. It's refreshing to support and be connected to a place that isn't part of the heavily capitalized society we live in, in which everything seems to come down to its monetary value. Not here my friend! IMC has core employees but what it really runs on is the commitment of volunteers. I typically function as a retreat manager when I come to IRC and if I lived closer I would happily give time to this place. In 2017 when I came often, it really helped me with personal challenges I was experiencing. I gained a community of practitioners that are serious about the dharma yet also kind people. I've met some amazing teachers and found my personal teachers of Gil and Max to be wonderful people in the world. 2 of my favorites :D IMC is a Buddhist meditation center that has some very excellent teachers and programs overall. It used to be a former church, turned Buddhist meditation hall. Very peaceful place. It's a place of refuge and to learn about the practice of mindfulness and get your feet wet. Or, be a longtime meditator and get your practice even more in depth. Whatever you are looking for on this path, it's there. I couldn't recommend this place enough. Don't miss it, you could easily walk by it not noticing, and never know the treasures it holds within. If you're unsure how to navigate coming here for a first time, a tip is to go online to their website. They have a robust schedule of classes, guided meditation sits, and general information about the place and people. It's very useful.

Incredible place and teachers, especially Gil who is the pillar of IMC. They hold frequent online…read moreand in person gatherings, kind community, and food for thought. Highly recommend
