This is my favorite church in all of Bergen county. The marble columns, stained glass windows and…read moremultiple sculptures create a strong sense of religious history. The tabernacle is adorned in brass and sits to the right of the altar. The devotion candles are now electric but there was a time when they used actual candles here. That's my only gripe about this church. It would definitely create more of a nostalgic feel if real candles were used. The vestibule of the church is large enough to accommodate over 100 people. The vestibule is where people who arrive late to mass--congregate. The wooden pews remain but they are beginning to wear down. The pews are as old as the church itself. This is one of the largest churches in all of Bergen county. Its also a popular venue for wedding ceremonies. Parking is not an issue. Peace be with you...

I grew up in Teaneck and my family attended this church from 1965 to 1995, when we moved out of state. The marble, the columns, the large crucifix in the front center, the choir loft with a grand organ, the painting on the ceiling of the Blessed Trinity were all part of the experience of heaven on earth. They don't build them like this anymore....

Pastor Phil Chorlian and all of the dedicated staff of the church are genuine Christians with a real heart for serving Jesus. The congregation is the most diverse group of people from all social, racial and economic groups. We have members who attend from a local shelter to teachers and doctors and even a real honest to goodness rocket scientist. The children's ministry is top notch. I recommend bringing your whole family and experience the Holy Spirit in North Jersey.

This was the church and parish of my early youth! Was baptized here and received my sacraments of…read morefirst holy communion and confession/penance here. A strong Franciscan parish, that exudes openness and is very welcoming to all visitors. I have many fond memories here as I recall happily several key role models who shaped my life--primarily, the wonderful relatives, friends, priests and nuns who took such a compassionate interest in teaching us kids. Today, the parish demographics have changed... instead of Italian being the primary spoken non English language heard in and around the church, it is now Spanish but the caring Franciscan spirituality is still as alive as ever. Recently, the church celebrated its 100 year anniversary. Constructed in 1917, the church was built by Sicilian and Italian immigrants in a mid-Renaissance 14th century style. Complete with stained glass windows, a Tuscan style bell tower with real forged bells, and Italian "tegile" (terra cotta roof tiles). But the most magnificent feature is the priceless frescoes that decorate the vaulted ceiling above the altar. These are executed in a late 16th century Italian style reminiscent of Rubens and Donatello. This is a true gem among churches and the architecture is conducive to prayer and proper contemplation of God. Many weddings are held here as it is one of the few remaining churches that retains a sense and feeling of holiness while keeping all of the beauty and splendor of mankind giving his best artistry to God. Best of all, it's a community dedicated to worshipping God through the expenditure of love and mercy to others. Definitely worth a visit. See their webpage for hours, ministries, and details. Thank you for reading my review. And as St Francesco d' Assisi often said: "Pax et Bonum" (Peace and Goodness).
