    Our Lady of Guadalupe Outdoor Grotto
    Noel M.

    Truly, a beautiful Church of God, supported by wonderful, generous, and faithful parishioners and served by 2 wonderful pastors: the Reverend Brian Corcoran and Reverend Ben Awongo of the Apostles of Jesus (A.J.). This vibrant Catholic community is united by beautiful ministries, which include a very talented Music Ministry, a fantastic Religious Education ministry, a Youth Ministry and a ministry of Junior-High faith formation, and a rich Hispanic Ministry. All the ministers, team, staff, and employees are dedicated to serving God and helping their ministries' members and this parish to grow closer to God. Several organizations serve this parish and are closely connected and directly affiliated with St. John's, which include the Altar Society, Boy Scouts, Catholic Men's Fellowship, Culture of Life, Guadalupanas, Holy Name Society, Knights of Columbus, a Seniors Organization, Saint Vincent de Paul, and the Worldwide Marriage Encounter. The Church itself is very large and grand, representing to the world on the outside what it contains inside: Love and Truth. There is a beautiful outdoor grotto dedicated to our Lady of Guadalupe directly behind the church. If you are passing by the area, you can stop here to pray and give thanks to God because there is 24/7 adoration.

    Since 2021 when my family and I moved we were in search for a new family church that gave the same…read moreinviting and family like presence of our bay area church. I was referred by a family member who has been coming for years and they were so right! From the beginning and even now the treatment of respect and understanding from staff to the congregation is all there. The events they put on to help bring you closer to your faith and to communicate with other people is a bonus rather than just a normal Sunday service(s). I have been service with them shortly after and can say even behind the scene's they take the challenges head on to make sure that all are welcome no matter what and that the children even have a great experience so that way the adults can encounter God. I love to call this church our church family. Its not a church you attend but a family where you belong.

    The head pastor is phenomenal. However, the youth and kids ministry is terrible. The teachers in…read morethe youth have zero control, kids are on their cell phones playing games, interrupting etc. They don't break up into small groups at youth group so it is impossible to meet other kids. The teachers are extremely focused on "bringing your friends from school" and that is about it! My boys attended for one year (5th and 7th grade) and didn't make a single friend. The women's ministry is lacking--they meet once a month if you have a toddler. The life groups fill up quickly and I wasn't allowed to join because it was "too late, too full." It's probably just too big.

    We are celebrating our first year as members of St. Andrew's, having moved to the area about 3…read moreyears ago. At our first service we felt we found our church home. We were welcomed by the people we sat with as though they already knew us and soon learned that this congregation lives the Gospel! St. Andrew's community outreach and social justice work is without equal in North County. We joined the weekly food pantry volunteers and it's a highlight of our week. It's a small miracle that we can source, pick up, set up and give out over a ton of food to 250+ families every week. We learned that many volunteers are 'outside' the congregation--it's a broader community effort to serve our guests each week. Also, we're a bit surprised that we WANT to be at Sunday services nearly every week. We get a spiritual shot in the arm to help us 'go forth' and find some joy and goodness in the world and do good. Our biggest takeaway from our first year is that the parish staff and lay members authentically embrace, respect and care for each other. That church culture enables us to do the same for our neighbors.

    Went in on Saturday for food services only to have individuals start acting unruly when I went to…read morecomplain Dan came at me with wild hand gestures I had to tell him four times to put his hands down when talking to me only to be told to leave or he would call the cops. This is just disgusting and outrageous you go to complain about unruly people only to have staff treat you very poorly shame on this church and why don't you have more staff to monitor what's going on and have a talk with Dan and tell him you don't come at people aggressively and in a threatening way I don't care if you don't like what you're hearing if people weren't acting up I wouldn't have had to complain two thumbs down for this so called church!!!!

    One of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen! Today I needed more spirituality and culture…read morethan going to the gym so I checked what was going on for free around and saw an architectural tour of this church organized by La Jolla Historical Society. As I had recently attended another tour organized by them I knew that this would not disappoint. Oh my, it exceeded expectations! I would not enter the post-modern architectural label by Charles Moore, as another fellow Yelper has said it all with details. I will tell you how this place made me feel. The Church of Nativity made me feel at home, welcomed, nurtured. The presenter/tour guide is a lawyer who grew up attending it and still does. He did an excellent job making people welcome (we were many attendees) and answered the questions with grace and knowledge. Thanks so much to him and all that participated. The gardens with orange trees are wonderful and peaceful. I loved the asymmetry in the disposition of the seating areas, the cross not placed where you would expect, the minimalism, the pristine state of everything. My favorite thing was the stars sculpture/lights adorning the altar. That is so unique. Never seen that at any church and just the craftsmanship, design and quality of materials is impressive. Another favorite part were those unique stained glass windows. So enchanting. It was a very sensorial experience for me, even if no music was played, I think I heard a celestial choir direct from heaven! A must visit hidden gem (whether you are spiritually inclined or not).

    We were fortunate to join the Church of the Nativity parish when its founder Msgr. Dennis Clark was…read morestill it's pastor.  The Church itself is an masterpiece that reflects three components of its California architectural heritage: a rancho hacienda with the Church buildings set back from the street and partially hidden by trees; a mission; a monastery.  Enter the grounds, and you are in a place of peace and tranquility ... and of artistic treasures and architectural details, which are reason enough to visit Nativity.  What is really special is attending Sunday Mass here, with it rich liturgy, in one of the nicest churches in the United States.
