There are many aspects to LOVE, including patience and discipline. The message is given in a straightforward but gentle manner. Topics that can be sensitive, like money, divorce and being gay are all discussed openly, by adults with adults. These are real world issues and are discussed, not judged. I'm gay and I felt comfortable right away. In Adult Forum (Sunday School) I did talk about experiences as a gay person and others were receptive to hearing from me. If people disapproved, they didn't say anything to me. Due to health issues, I can't be in crowds now, but I can worship online. It's convenient but I miss the connection to the people.

They also offer a noon mass on holidays, such as Ash Weds that fill up pretty quickly. The dress is dressy, to office casual. Now a word on their summer festival (as we all know Cincinnatians love a good church festival). This is one of the nicer festivals. Its got a lot of options, as well as rides for the kids. The bands they have are actually really good, and draw quite the crowd. The crowd is a good mix. Not the huge amount of teenagers I've seen at others, and not a whole lot of drunks, which makes it nice. The people running the booths are incredibly friendly as well. The gambling tent was set up nicely. They even opened up a new table towards the end of the night when there was a line. Most of the dealers are good people, and won't rip you off, even if the money is going to the church. They have refillable mugs here for beer, which is actually a good deal if you're going to drink, at least 3. Definitely one to hit up every year.

They offer a cry room for little children and the day we went they were having a pancake breakfast. Many other activities through the year. They have a very busy festival especially considering their space is limited. Annually there is a spaghetti dinner which comes from La Rosa's. All during Lent, they have Fish Fry Fridays. Also, there is a Parish Gold Outing, too. Women Together is a group of women of all ages who meet monthly to read and enrich their faith. Youth ministry open to all teens in grades 9 - 12 no matter what high school they attend. Euchre tournaments, Knights of Columbus, Young Family group and a prayer ministry. So many to get involved, meet other parishioners and to grow your faith.

Church. A word that can conjure up a number of emotions for most people. I have pretty much been a…read moremember of this church my whole life and I have seen the ups and downs of this church. For the last five+ years, it has been nothing but up and the congregation has grown into a rather large and healthy one. The transition from the previous building along with the influx of Contemporary Christian music and whatnot has left some people by the wayside, but as many have said, "You can't please everybody...." So, the church is now in a large modern building that is in a somewhat rural business district off the highway. This makes it easy to access and get on to any Sunday errands post service. The parking is ample although I recommend arriving early just to beat the massive influx of people at the same time. As my picture shows, if you have a motorcycle, there are special spots for your 'bike. There is also a carport where you can drop off anyone during inclement weather or those unable to walk from the parking lot. Entering in on a typical Sunday, one will most likely be greeted by a few friendly faces. The last time I was there, a few Girl and Boy Scouts were greeters. Bathrooms are clean and right inside the front door. Coat racks are outside the sanctuary/multipurpose room and have plenty of room. If you walk straight ahead there is a coffee/snack area with tables and large windows that lookout to the large green field. I recommend grabbing a program so that you can familiarize yourself with any activities or information about the church. I do like that they are transparent enough to post last weeks offering and other financial information. If you are interested in helping or serving, there are plenty of opportunities, from children to senior saints, opportunities exist. In the past, I've done everything from ushering to working in the nursery. Oh, that reminds me, unlike some churches, there is daycare and it is not typical for really young children to be in the main worship area. If you've ever been in a service and had that one child scream the whole time, you'll appreciate the childcare options. I am not totally sure, but I think they give parents a pager to ping you in case they need to contact you during the service. Great idea and will give any worrisome parents some peace of mind. The worship center/multipurpose room (check out the bball hoops :) ) is a large area that I think will be replaced by a dedicated worship center at a later date. For now, the large stage and 1,000+ seats are a perfectly suitable worship space. I am a sit-in-the-back row kinda guy and usually find a spot right before the service starts. People are friendly for the most part and if you are nervous or just a little edgy, look for my favorite person there, Rosa. Ask anyone and they will quickly point her out. She's the grandma everyone wishes they had. There are two large projection screens that display everything from song words to sermon points, so there really isn't a bad seat in the place. The chairs are cushioned so sitting is actually comfortable. I've sat in way too many hard pews to not mention this. In closing, I've been to many many churches and haven't always been a regular at WCCC, and while I don't always agree with things preached, I do think that the majority of the leadership have their priorities straight and if you venture inside, you just might find a church where you or your family can learn, participate, and support.

I entered St. Susanna Catholic Church for the first time at my Mom's funeral yesterday…read more I didn't feel like a visiting guest parishioner because my siblings, their children and grandchildren were present. Yet I felt like a real part of this huge suburban Parish thanks mostly to the back and forth communication with Stephanie in the church office before our Mom passed away and afterwards. Stephanie helped us coordinate a touching send off for our Mother. The Mass Program and Memorial Card were spot on! The photo boards she helped us set up were a testimony to our Mother's love for her five children, 14 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Our Mom is truly honored, I am sure, that Father Elias was at the helm of the Mass on her journey to Heaven. He touched our hearts with his sermon and sincere compassion. Father Elias, please ask for a transfer to Our Lady of Fatima in San Clemente, CA or St. Edwards in Dana Point, CA so you can be our local Vicar!! San Clemente has the world's most temperate weather but we need your gentle yet direct edict to eradicate ill-temper and self absorption in South Orange County Father Elias, you touched on causes my Mom championed - eliminating poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition plus being mindful of our footprints to protect our planet. Caring and sharing. Mom's edict. You underscored her message and it resonated! I'm especially overwhelmed about the video of our Mother's Celebration of Life Mass. During Covid so many of those who loved Mom could not be with her in person. It's awesome to share the video with family and friends who were with those gathered at St. Susanna's, March 16, 2021. I live 2300 miles away from your Parish. When Covid is under control I look forward to attending Mass with your Parish Community. I am forever grateful to you all at St. Susanna! Thank you Sohee Lee, the incredibly gifted pianist and organist at Mom's Mass, So sad that I didn't have the opportunity to say thank you in person. Your talent and collaboration with my niece vocalists Amber and Hannah was incredible! Thank you all at St. Susanna.
