Been attending this Parish for a couple of years now and everyone is amazing from Father Anthony who is the head priest, the Knights of Columbus, and the Choir. Father Anthony's message is always from the heart and straightforward, his message stays with me even after I have left the parish. God Bless Amen

I am a single mother of 3 working 3 jobs and working hard to make ends meet. I don't qualify for welfare or low income handoffs. When you see me in mass with my 3 teenagers it's because I am getting off one job to bring them to mass in a 45 min break that I have before I start my next job for the rest of the day and night before I pick my kids up on Monday morning to drop them at school before I start my weekly job on Mondays-Friday. If I am at mass it's to get a blessing for the week before I'm rushing off to start my next job. Today? Father Anthony followed my family and I out and demanded so rudely that we go back into mass. Not only was I embarrassed but I felt threatened. Not once did he ever approach me ever after attending this mass for 4yrs now, but when he did, he was so rude. He never asked where we were going he was so quick to accuse me of setting a bad example to my kids and the rest of the church members. I'm flattered that I have such an impact on his church. BUT, there was other ways of dealing with that. Totally effected my sabbath and humiliated me in front of other church members. What a disgrace. I will no longer be attending this church. And I will be reporting this behavior to the archdiocese. Never again!

Father Antony is very passionate in his ministry, and his love for Jesus is very evident in his homilies and actions. He does not preach to his parishioners what he himself is not willing to do. He is very bold in proclaiming the gospel. He has a very good sense of humor to wit. He is a great, selfless leader. His primary focus is nothing else but the salvation of his parishioners. The parishioners are very friendly and vibrant people. Devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Holy Eucharist are very evident and their prayerfulness is certainly evident. It is a very inclusive place, with various ethnic religious practices represented. At times though, there is too much movement and noise inside the church disturbing the silence required for meditative and contemplative worship. As some have commented, there are no pews in the church. However, a capital campaign is going on to build a new church.

I love the fact that there's a poster outside the church, the proper way to dress when you go to Church. It reminds me of St. Padre Pio that he doesn't allow immodest clothing when you enter his church. You go to a place of worship, NOT a club. You don't go to church to show off your sexy body. God is not impressed. I love this Church very much and the pastor is a very holy man.
