It really shouldn't have taken me so long to right this review. Yelp is the reason we tried…read moreStoryHeights in the first place (thanks, Tracy!). Church websites all look the same: We believe that Jesus is the Son of God...obviously. We teach the Bible...of course you do. I needed information from people who have attended the church to really get a feel for it. We visited on Easter Sunday in 2014, after a few months of church searching, and we didn't need to try any other churches after that. A quick synopsis of the churches we tried before I launch into how SH is different. We tried 4 churches before StoryHeights, and 3 of the 4 we visited twice to give them a fair shot. These churches fell into 1 of 2 categories. 1) The people were friendly, but the church was spiritless (they sang about the joy of the Lord, but no one was smiling). 2) The Spirit was moving through the church, but no one beyond the front door greeter spoke to us. SH hit the perfect combination: Spirit-filled and friendly. Everyone in the church was excited to be there, to be worshipping, to be learning, and to be in fellowship. Everyone was so friendly, too! It wasn't just "Hi, what's your name? Glad you're here." They genuinely want to know about us, what brought us to the area, where we were from... And then each person introduced us to another person, trying to connect us with someone in a similar line of work or from the same part of the county. We felt quite at home! Some of my other favorite things about StoryHeights: --The kids program is fantastic. Our girls love going to church on Sunday (any day of the week we'll take them, really), and we never have to worry that they are well cared for. --The pastors know their stuff, but they don't take themselves to seriously. The sermons are funny and applicable, but they don't water down the Message. They also make a point to truly know everyone in the church. --Whether you show up in blue jeans and a t-shirt or a dress and heels, you're more than welcome. StoryHeights loves everybody, and we love you just the way you are. --There's something for everyone. Whatever your thing is, there's an activity or a group for you. I'm a special educator, so our annual Special Needs Easter Egg Hunt is the perfect way for me to combine two really important areas of my life. My husband thrives on fellowship, so meeting with a Grow Group each week really fuels him. I hope that someone who reads this review finds it helpful. I encourage you to give SH a try. I'm confident that you'll feel at home, too.

I am new to the Latin mass and would love to keep attending, but because I don't speak Latin I only feel like I'm attending Mass so much. In my humble opinion, it would be nice if the readings were done in English. But they were not. In my humble opinion, it would also be nice if the consecration was read out loud instead of silence. (Even if read out loud in Latin)

The pastor knew that masks were pointless and wrote a pastor's note in 2020 to this effect. But the City of Newton was calling the parish to threaten fines and closure if masks were not enforced. So Fr Higgins, admittedly in a difficult position, unfortunately did enforce the mandate, writing in the parish bulletin that anyone not willing to wear a mask should stay out of the church, and enforced the ridiculous, arbitrary Covid capacity limits. The willingness of the despicable Archdiocese of Boston to jump on board with the Covid lunacy was shameful but ultimately consistent with years of chronic betrayal. Far more jarring to the soul was that even the Latin Mass parish was willing to obey what seems to be the only absolute in the RCAB, ie, that appeasing Democrat politicians trumps Truth and the pastoral care of the faithful.
