I recently held my daughters Quinceañera celebration at this church. Chosen with love to have it…read morehere since it was where my husband and I got married. I was extremely disturbed and disappointed at the way mass turned out. Father Emmanuel was hyper-fixated on people's attire, and wasted no time to constantly shame our guest about it. He brought up attire on multiple occasions even through everyone was covered up and I didn't see anyone that stood out dressed "inappropriately" for mass. It really put a cloud over my daughter's celebration. We walked out of mass confused, and extremely disturbed. He lost the essence of a quinceañera celebration by constantly talking about "women's breast" and shaming them to receive the body of Christ from the other helper instead of him. It was all around a terrible experience.

I grew up Catholic but, due to a very difficult and unstable childhood, I never received my…read moresacraments. When I had my first child, it became incredibly important to me to fully enter into the Church, so I completed the RCIA program here. It was a meaningful decision, and I was proud to finally receive my sacraments. Getting married in the Catholic Church has always been a big deal to me. Now that my wedding is two weeks away, I assumed obtaining copies of my sacrament records would be the simplest step in the process. Unfortunately, it has turned into one of the most stressful parts. I was informed that my paperwork was lost. Since then, trying to resolve this has been extremely frustrating. I've called multiple times and have repeatedly been told someone would call me back -- but I have never received a return phone call. I've sent emails that have gone unanswered. I've even gone in person seeking help and was met with unkind treatment from the office manager, which was honestly disheartening. I have provided proof, including videos of myself receiving my sacraments and documentation with my name listed, in hopes of helping resolve the issue. With my wedding so close, I feel overwhelmed and stuck. I don't typically leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience in hopes that communication and record-keeping processes can improve for others in the future. This is an important and sacred milestone in my life, and I simply wish the administrative side of it had been handled with more care and responsiveness. This review is for the office, only.

Unfortunately, the male employee I spoke with was extremely rude and dismissive. When I asked questions, he repeatedly sighed and told me "it's not his job" to help. It's very disappointing to be treated this way when I'm simply trying to get copies of important sacramental documents. Customer service and basic courtesy should matter, especially in situations involving sensitive personal records.

I also have history with both my girls fully grown they got baptized here, did their first communion here and confirmations. It was a most pleasant experience. Being a little bit smaller than the other churches I've been to, in this area I love this church the best. Services are good, priests are great, full of warmth, wisdom, witty sense of humor and never get bored (at least I don't here...sorry I had to admit that, and really one shouldn't get bored, but forgive me, I'm only human). Parking during certain events and holidays can be challenging, but your surrounded by residential, so you can park outside the church and still won't be a long distance walk. However try to watch out for the houses located on Burke St., closest to the church, they are almost all or mostly older residents who frown on the congestion & monopolized parking situation, especially in front of their houses, so they tend to run the sprinklers on full blast and thus wetting your newly washed vehicles.
