Beautiful church, service and mass. I have to give it a 5 star since I have never seen a church so full at 4 pm for any service, even Christmas.
The entire congregation was extremely nice considering we were packed like sardines and there weren't enough chairs.
There was a small library where babies and toddlers could go play since they couldn't see, hear or understand the mass, anyway.
I thought that the priest's comparison of Rudolph to Jesus was a nice touch and way to connect the children with religion, and when we entered I saw Santa leaving!
I am assuming that this church is usually about as empty as most have become, especially given the cynicism around the Catholic Church these days, but the mass was under an hour and offered something for everyone. read more
