There are many places that I would consider overrated. Chaminade is not one of them…read more As a relatively recent graduate, I very much feel as if it prepared me for college. I dare say many of my college classes are easier than those I took at Chaminade. The workload was pretty bad, but again this prepared me well for college and gave me good study habits. I graduated here before they started offering their AP courses, but I'm assuming the academics are still top-notch. They were pretty strict with things like uniforms, cheating, and general classroom nuisance, but I really don't recall many egregiously unfair punishments handed out. Most of my classmates were great and I'm still friends with many of them in college. I never really saw any bullying going on, and even those who I didn't like the most were better people than most at other schools. In terms of the good morals stuff, yeah I'll say that part's a little overrated. They definitely teach you to be the best person possible, and I will say most of my classmates were good people. But some parents try to act like everyone who goes here is a saint or never does anything bad in their life. This just isn't true. A lot of drinking and drugs (mostly just weed) goes on here. Again most of even those who party and stuff are decent enough, it's just perhaps not the most "saintly" place ever like some parents will have you believe. It's one of those places that you don't like, at the moment when you're going there because of the course load and how stressed you will be. But once you look back on it a couple of years into college, you'll see how good it was and how well it likely prepared you.

Chaminade is an independent Catholic college-preparatory high school which truly prepares its students to the real world. I had the pleasure to attend the 2000 graduation ceremony of my former love's brother and the added pleasure to attend live performances of past off-Broadway shows: "Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and "Guys and Dolls." Tuition is very expensive and entry admittance is not very easy. I highly recommend this school for any parents and young men who are entering their high school years. It is a "coming of age" to young men. Chaminade High School's notable alumni are: George Kennedy, 1943, Academy Award-winning actor and Bill O'Reilly, 1967, a political commentator; host of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor.

No Hebrew School or building fund means very modest dues making this perhaps the most affordable congregation one can find. Yet it is rich in spirit. Members come from many areas of Long Island and Queens to this modest Shul located just a short distance south of the Garden City Hotel. Progressive yet very spiritual and deeply religious Rabbi.

Lisa of the consolation team communicated effectively with me days before the service. She was compassionate and took great notes about my mother, this was beautifully reflected by Father John in his homily. Just the day before, Father Rolando prayed with us at Cassidy's Funeral Home, also done with respect in honoring my mother's time on earth. A wonderful and inviting Catholic church, it is not surprising why my parents became a part of this community.

The seating is auditorium/theatre seating, it isn't posh but I still like it. The sanctuary of the church is on the simple side, but I like that. There are bathrooms downstairs where the nursery is, and one handicap bathroom upstairs. David Vilceus is the new pastor of the church, he always gives a great message, he's very friendly and his family is great. There's a 6 PM service and an 11 AM service as well as an adult Sunday School at 9:45 AM. I haven't been to the Sunday School yet, I alternate between the 11 AM service and 6 PM service depending on if it's a Sunday I am working or not. This a great church, so far I've been happy here.

Highbrow - maybe, but both my brows were up, and my mouth was open in awe of such talent. Even the attire was fitting with ladies in lovely colorful gowns and gentlemen in tuxedos. They performed some rather difficult pieces with varied arrangements and they all were spot on. Directed by Conductor Jesse You, along with Vocalist Soprano Heejung Lee and Baritone JaeHwan Lee and the Choir directed by Jaehoon Shin, they all sang like angels. Musicians of finest abilities played a variety of instruments as the clarinet by Shinae Kim, cello by Jackie Hyun, trumpet by Max Min and violin by Anna Yoo, including piano accompaniment from Aram Ko, and Hanna Lee all played music smoothly, intensely and lovingly. The percussionist on finely polished drums kept the beat and intensity, adding texture and energy to the sound and completeness to the performance. The audio-visual crew had the speakers set up clear and easy to hear. There were two big flat screens with images placed depicting who and what songs were next. Full lighting allowed people to be able to see the faces of those on stage, though I found that the lighting over exposed faces for photos on my phone camera. Every cushioned pew was filled with people. The angels must have been watching, listening and dancing, filling every drop of ceiling of heavenly space from above. The tickets were 20.00 each, well worth it, and the proceeds were noted for Scholarship Donation. Recipient list of scholarships listed here in alphabetical order were: Ju Yeong Choi, Sarah Choi, Isaiah Hong, Kim Joo Eun, Aram Ko, Hope Lee, Samuel Lee, Sinai Lee, Chai Seng Lim, Hyunbin Park, Young Han Ro, Yeon Ju Son and Jeong Seon Yoon. A bit too long with no intermission, though sleepy young ladies and babies alike quietly and obediently sat through the full show. There was even a raffle at the end. Various cultures have different customs. Bravos and Bravas were shouted out but there were no well-deserved standing ovations. Of course, hunger may have been part of the reason for an evening that had start 5pm and the show finishing two and-a-half-hour later. After the program a selection of food was set up and all were invited into the room nearby to eat and socialize after a job well done. This program gave a touch of holiday spirit and Christmas with various arrangements capturing songs, sounds and the spirit of joy. All that went into it made it seem easy. No doubt the depth, practice and working coordination to pull it all together for this relatively new Korean Church in East Meadow took diligent work. The Reverend Jiyong Lee, along with other chosen individuals, said prayers at the beginning, throughout the performance and at closure. Professional as it gets, amazingly talented people who performed and didn't miss a note or a beat. This is a modern yet captivating welcoming congregation of talented caring people.

We have since made it to four services, and I must say, it seems as though this new Pastor Chris speaks to us weekly. His word is enlightening, empowering, and by the end of the sermon, I find myself wanting to here more of what God has to say. It's been a tough few weeks in our lives, and though I can not say that we have gotten to where we need to go as yet in our relationship, I can say I believe this church is where God wants us to be. I pray that God will continue to bless and use this pastor to touch others the way he has started to in our lives.
