As a member of the Knights of Columbus council at Mary Queen, I'm blessed that our council does…read moremuch for our church, school, and the city of Lexington, Kentucky, not to mention they pray for us, overlook our faults, and forget our mistakes As church members, we never truly know what a hello, friendly word to a fellow parishioner or a visitor will be--an encouragement, a blessing. Plus, it is the priest's job to help people become great Christians, and we have that at Mary Queen. We are so blessed that they touch people's hearts during each mass. The week's highlight is disconnecting from the world and spending time in front of the Blessed Sacrament. That's right, leave everything at the door. Pope John Paul II once said, "Our communal worship at mass must go together with our personal worship of Jesus in Eucharistic adoration in order that our love may be complete." And he was so right.

I've never felt more unwelcome in a Catholic church in 50 years. Their mask police interrupted me…read morein prayer, and then at the Priest's request, during the homily during which I was told I would be asked to leave if I would not wear a mask. I was seated alone, far more than six feet from anyone other than the people behind me. During the announcements, the priest promoted the parishes fall festival. He says that many people have joined the church because of the welcome reception they've received at the festival. It must be a lot more welcoming than that of Mass.

We sent our oldest daughter to TFCA back in 2022 as a homeschool student to play sports with the…read moremiddle school students there. She quickly made friends and had a great time with the school teams. The next year we decided to enroll her as an 8th grader and she absolutely loved it. The following year we enrolled our three other kids and my wife also began working there part time. This community has changed our children's lives and given all of us a very special place to belong and watch our children grow and develop into the people God created them to be. We are so thankful for this place! I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a Christ centered learning community for their kids to learn, grow, and belong!

Our son attended public elementary school. When he was ready to start middle school, we decided the…read morebest option for him was TFCA. Our son's experience has been better than we could have imagined. His friends are so supportive of each other. His teachers really do care about him! We are far from rich. We have made sacrifices, and will continue to do so, to keep him at TFCA. We have 4 older children, 2 of which went to public school K-12. There were many good experiences for them at the elementary level, but middle and high school was completely different. Their middle school experience was absolutely awful. I regret not sending them to TFCA. I truly believe they would not only have more confidence and less anxiety as adults but most importantly they would be confident in God's love for them.

Beautiful location for a special event and membership for the country club!…read more Only downside for holding an event inside the building is that there is only one toilet for the ladies! (That I know of) I have been fortunate enough to attend 2 KET fundraisers here, (Fabby Abbey Balls) and I must say that it was the perfect backdrop location to fulfill the atmosphere and add to the overall feel that heralds a time by gone. The staff were always accommodating and willing to play along with the themes and converse with the guests. There is also adequate parking tucked behind the side of the building. I would highly recommend a visit if you are able to procure one!

I had my wedding reception there and couldn't have been happier. Our ceremony was in the chapel in Old Morrison (part of Transy's campus) right across the street, which was perfect. Their rental coordinator was so helpful and easy to work with for our year of planning, even during a pandemic. They provided all the info we needed up front and stayed in touch as we planned from afar. They set up all the furniture perfectly and we're quick to send our security deposit back afterwards. Since events aren't their main focus, nothing "comes with" this rental like food, planning staff, etc., but we were able to pick exactly what we wanted for other venues so that was fine with us. We had 75 guests which felt like a great fit in the ballroom for dinner, but you could definitely fit more people in there if you needed.
