What visitors say

My husband and I have been attending this church as members for a couple of years. When we got engaged, we enrolled in the parish's marriage preparation program and their Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program to finish some of our missing sacraments. Deacon Dino Serafini prepared us and officiated our rite of marriage, and Elena Platas and Roman Becerra led our preparation to become fully initiated Catholics. All of them are some of the kindest and wisest people I've had the pleasure to meet. They are very welcoming and genuinely care about the people attending our parish. We had ~160 guests on our wedding day, with lots of space for up to ~200 guests in the parish. We also had a live mariachi band play at our wedding. We opted for very minimal decorations, as the church is beautiful already. In all, we are very happy to have married at St. Didacus, and we look forward to continuing to attend this parish for years to come. I recently attended Mass at a church in San Diego County as part of my goal to visit different churches in the area. While I found it challenging to understand the priest at times, I appreciated the opportunity to experience the service and learn more about the church community. The community seemed very close-knit and welcoming. St. Didacus Church is a beautiful church with an outstanding staff. They scheduled my father's funeral mass on the first Friday of lent when no other Catholic church in San Diego would. The priest also volunteered to come to the burial site after the mass to bless the final resting place. My mother still talks about how blessed we were to find St. Didacus. Thank you and God bless you. I had such a beautiful Christmas meditation at this shrine. I'm so grateful to the Church community for offering such a devotional and inspiring place. I was a parishioners of this church and attended regular mass. Their choir would sing an uplifting hym about community and family that kept me returning almost every Sunday just to hear them and learn more about the faith under Pastor Mike Senior.
