What visitors say
Father Mario has really turned this church around. Listening to his live streams and Facebook and attending his mass have been fantastic. The church is tucked in between a building that you may miss. However it does not disappoint. Downtown church wedged tightly between two other buildings. They have a food pantry and a big ministry to the poor. Very interesting interior with 3 different levels. Went to Sunday morning mass. Interesting architecture with community outreach. Great service. Beautiful church, I was in a hurry and snapped what I could, it was extremely hard to find a parking spot. I wish I could have stayed longer. Enjoy Disclsimer: I am not a parishioner of this church only a one time visitor. I also rate churches based on how well the parish and participants follow the General Instructions of the Roman Missal (GIRM) and my own observations. The church like another review stated is rather unique in that it has three levels with two having alters. It's in a horse shoe layout. Something to note: the Tabernacle was in the center - yeah! Because of the limited space there they did not celebrate on the original alter but instead closer in front of the railing. 1. When I entered the church it was like entering a community Hall. People talking and chit chatting - since the layout of this church is rather unique in that there is no foyer it is understandable that people use the church to talk to each other. I personally would rather the church be silent for those who wish to pray before mass. 2. Everyone followed the correct gestures and posture positions - they do kneel at concecration (they get a star for that alone). 3. They loose a star for these three reasons. One because they held hands during the our father which I believe goes against the GIRM and two the kiss of peace was exceptionally long with people leave their pews to give kiss's of peace. Third, at the end the song Happy birthday to all those whose birthday it was that week. I dont think that is appropriate after mass. Overall the church itself is very beautiful.
