I was very pleased and quite shocked to see that this church is very old school. It reminds me of the church I went to when I was a kid growing up in Hawaii. The pews all face forward, and they have the good ole missals and songbooks like back in the days! There are no screens up front with the showing the day's readings. It's very traditional here, and I love it! The priest is very welcoming and I like that I can attend the afternoon Saturday mass whenever I'm in town. It's a lot quieter with way less people than on Sundays. Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church is a keeper in my book. It brings me back to my childhood and the nostalgia of those days that are now fond memories. I'm glad I have found a place to call home when in Arizona!

I had no idea this place existed until my Orthodox friend mentioned about it. Since I had an…read moreamazing experience visiting several Orthodox monasteries overseas, I was interested in visiting one in the U.S. Visitor hours are from 10:30am to 2:30pm everyday. Dress code is strictly enforced. If you do not have one, they will ask you wear one of their clothes. I heard monks speak English, that's when I remember I was in the United States, not overseas somewhere. That's how this place made me feel, I felt like I was visiting a foreign country. It's beautiful inside and outside. I recommend visiting in a cooler month. I was pretty hot walking outside in a long dress and scarf around my hair. Feeling I get once I stepped inside was something I cannot describe. I went with a group of friends but I think I want to go alone next time to fully feel what this place has to offer.

Who would have known that there was a beautiful Greek Monastery in the middle of the desert? Not…read moreme! So glad I was told about St Anthony Orthodox Monastery as being worthy of a visit! They were spot on in their recommendation and I need to thank them again for making it! We came in for a walking tour of the wonderful monastery grounds and left with a sense of peace and tranquility we didn't have when we arrived. We were greeted at the main entrance outside the bookstore and given directions as well as assistance with our wardrobe where we were somewhat lacking compliance. Note to self and others: fitted leggings under a skirt or dress that doesn't come down to the ankles still isn't sufficient. There were several areas under construction so some of the fountains were not running. It's not quite harvest time so the citrus trees were covered with bird netting. Since it's fall-ish weather some of the plants are in transition from their glorious summer splendor. The intricate details of the church and chapels are absolutely impressive! Some of the paintings are peeling a bit but the majority of them are in amazing condition. The wood inlays and masonry work were unbelievable! Many of the items were shipped here from Greece! Everywhere we went was buzzing with some type of activity or another with several guests coming for prayer too. We tried to follow the highlighted route as close as possible but got a little turned around when we walked around one of the chapels to see the exterior in full. We highly recommend a visit to this incredible desert oasis!

It doesn't feel like a dry history class. Some of the music/worship would be nice to mix in more upbeat songs, with engaging lighting and visual effects to not be so serious every time. Examples of what would be nice to hear for songs/worship. Newsboys, Jelly Roll: Never Alone, Mercy Me: I Can Only Imagine, Sing (Like You've Already Won). But, the delivery of the message/sermon, is my priority for choosing this church. They also have coffee before the services.
