I can't speak to the services here, but this is a very beautiful place for a wedding.
There's an incredible amount of stained glass, a very VERY high ceiling, and even a choir area with a pipe organ, if you're into that. The pews are, like all Catholic churches, pretty hard and uncomfortable, but you only feel that way because you're a sinner.
Extra points to this church to not having a creepy giant Jesus-suffering-on-a-cross statue that was so popular in the 70s-80s. This is the kind of church you picture when you think of Catholic churches. Not the weird post-modern, windowless ones that seem to sprinkle the country.
The priest was also really nice and friendly, and managed to stay away from the more controversial topics (I've seen a priest give an abortion lecture during Christmas eve mass once. Inappropriate.) He also resembled a European James Earl Jones, which I enjoyed.
So if you're looking to see a good example of an old-school Catholic church, check this one out!Listed in: Yelp 30-Day Challenge
