What visitors say
I see a lot of reviews in here saying this place is friendly and welcoming. I've attended several services but rarely do the members talk to people they aren't already friends with or family. Its not as welcoming as the reviews make it seem. Members will greet during the part of the service where the priest says to. But other than that its not that friendly or welcoming. They are very strict when it comes to booking and catering. Its expensive, and you must pay everything before the day of the event. The event coordinator never made me feel good or that she was there to help. I dont really know how she stays in her role. I only give the rating I do because of my family. If it wasnt for them it would be lower. What a cool church! We went here for a friends wedding. Beautiful and ornate for a church not built in the 1500s, like the cathedrals in rome. The fountain out front is really nice And calming. The presiding bishop(?) Was very nice both at the rehearsal and the ceremony, although he was losing his voice. I'm assuming the wedding planner cane with the church or works there and she was good at organizing everyone and keeping the reverence of the church. Love this church! Masses are great and RCIA classes are insightful. They also have community events. In English and Spanish so peaceful--perfect place to have silence with God.This beautiful Spanish inspired Catholic church is a good place to marry privately at the Blessed sacrament if you don't have enough budget. I had the most memorable wedding ever-no need to spend so much-what is important is you marry in the eyes of God and close family. One of the most beautiful churches I've ever been to, at the back is a beautiful golden tabernacle with a lot of natural lighting.
