    This place has become the weekly home office for us…read more Why drive nearly thirty minutes for church when there are literally twenty different places in between? I don't know but I think it comes down to four things: 1. This is the only place in the area that offers a Sunday evening service at 5:30. Sorry but not everyone likes or has the scheduling flexibility to get to church in the AM on a Sunday so this is huge as to why I come. I really wish that more pastors would figure this out as clearly there is a market for it as the Sunday evening Mass here is very well attended even during football season. 2. Going to church can be a real drag especially if the priest at your local parish is either a bore, poor public speaker or in the case of the church that's right down the street from me, simply not a nice person in general. SPSJ has you covered as there are five different priests at this parish which equals a nice variety of speeds/homily styles and each week the bulletin/website lists who the celebrant is for the next week so you always know who you're getting. 3. The building itself is an old school beauty that dates back to the late 19th century. 4. The pastor, Father John, even if he is not the celebrant is regularly around after Mass shaking hands and saying hello to everyone. It's a nice touch and one that is certainly not done everywhere. While I'm not a member here (or technically anywhere for that matter) I certainly throw a few bones in the basket every week and as long as they keep offering the Sunday evening Mass I'm pretty sure that we'll be regulars for the foreseeable future.

    I went here when I attended the parochial school next door from 1971 to 1975. This was the only…read morething I liked about that experience since the teachers at the school were all child hating sadists.

    This is a review for The Phoenix Banquet Hall at this same address. We had a 25th Anniversary…read moreParty at this Banquet Hall. The Banquet Manager, Lisa B., worked with us on the table arrangements, the appetizers, the dinner entrée, the drinks and no details were left unturned. Lisa and I remained in contact, via phone or email, about a month before the party until the day of the party. This type of contact made me feel very reassured that this party was going to be a great one! We agreed on a time for the bar to open, a time for the appetizers to be served, a time for the dinner to be served and a time for the cake and coffee to be served and every time was met perfectly, on the dot! The attention to detail by the bar and kitchen staff was second to none. The entire staff was very friendly and extremely accommodating. The appetizers and the hot buffet were delicious! Our guests had nothing but compliments regarding the food and the staff. The drinks were perfectly made, not too strong and certainly not watered down, like some places do. The prices were very reasonable compared to other Banquet Halls that we looked at. We will certainly have other parties here in the future. We can highly recommend this The Phoenix!

    Have attempted to schedule events and make inquiries via telephone and email. Calls are never…read moreanswered by a live person and voice messages are never returned. The food served at events is so bland that cheap pizza or fast food would be preferable.
