Mark: You lied when you brought me to a meeting and told me…read morenot to defend myself, that I would be given a chance to do that at another time. I have never defended myself publicly. Until now. You lied when you encouraged me to use Alan Langstaff's covering, Alan Langstaff told me himself his relationship with you was suffering because of my request. Alan Langstaff said Becky Johnson threw a fit in that meeting, pushing herself away from the table and pouting when he talked about allowing us under his covering. You asked Alan Langstaff to investigate me for the wrongdoing you accused me of, but you wouldn't accept his clearance of me when he couldn't find fault in me. A few years into my family's ostrization set off by the letter you sent out damning me not only to all of Jubilee but also to the pastors in St. Cloud. I contacted you becasue people from your church were saying hurtful things about my children online. You replied that there was nothing you could do about it.

Why are there not more reviews? Quite honestly this leaves me thinking you're hiding something. I'll be visiting but probably after i've exhausted all the other possibilities.

People are excited about faith so they don't sit passively. A basket is passed for an offering for those who choose to make the church their own. Most people wear jeans and t-shirts, including pastors.

Who reviews churches? Well, having been to nearly every Catholic Church in the St. Cloud and…read moresurrounding area, I feel well qualified. St. Anthony's is a modern urban Catholic Church with a small architectural footprint. They used to be in the basement of the school building across the street before they built the present Church. The Church offers a decent space for quiet prayer, and a lot of natural light. Personally, I don't care for the large Resurrecifix that you'll find behind the altar, but you can always close your eyes. The new stained glass windows - one of Mary and child, and another of the Holy Spirit - are nice pieces done by Michael's Stained Glass Studio in St. Cloud. I wish there was more stained-glass. The Church is done in the semi-round. It's all white, and in those respects it feels a bit Protestant. If you have a moment, go into the entry way of the Church and go left through the door. You'll enter an entryway where you can enter the Perpetual Adoration Chapel. Here, you can pray before the Blessed Sacrament any hour of the day. This is the real gem of the Church, as it's the only Church in St. Cloud proper where they have perpetual Eucharistic adoration. The chapel has a nice statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe and some additional stained-glass work. It's a wonderful space for quiet adoration and prayer.
