This is a great parish! The people are all so very friendly, and welcoming. The choir is always on point and does an exceptional job. The clergy here is also very knowledgeable and professional. Father Mansfield is a great pastor. He always will tell it like it is, and lead the people to the truth! It’s great to be a part of the community!

When I began investigating the church, I was referred to Father Scott. So I went to a few classes to see if my thinking is like yours. Father Scott welcomed me. I absolutely love going to the classes. Father Scott makes learning very interesting There were quite a few of us in class and they were ahead of me, but Father Scott helped me to catch up so that I could get baptized with the others. I really feel like I have found a new home! Thank you for everything that you have have begun teaching me!!!

As a life long Catholic I’ve never experienced this level of fear mongering and hatred in a homily. I hope the priest can reevaluate where he places his energy and maybe stick closer to the word of God. Politics and the church are separate entities for a reason, and if the priest so desires to speak about politics and his political opinion in front of so many people, he might consider a coherent sentence structure for next time.

I love this Church and Father Scott Mansfield is awesome. I had left the Church for a period of time and after a few visits to St John Vianney and sermons by Father Scott I am back and could not be more happy or grateful. I love the unpretentios feel of celebrating mass in an old basketball gym (soon to be a new Church). I love the crosses in the front of the building as a daily reminder of the 3000+ unborn children who are lost DAILY to legalized abortion and I love the no-nonsense sermons by Father Scott. I am truly grateful to the Church for having me back and to Father Scott for bringing me in. Please come by anytime, you are welcome!

St. John Vianney is a wonderful Roman Catholic Church. Fr. Scott Mansfield is a charismatic and inspiring pastor. The parish is very welcoming. Mass takes place in a big multi-purpose building and the "yard" out front has a beautiful memorial of 3000+ crosses representing the number of lives lost to abortion each day. This is a good church for families with children and those interested in learning more about the Catholic faith, as the preaching is very straightforward and easy to understand.

Absolutely love this Parish, and Fr. Scott is truly a blessing to the Church. He brings with him a no nonsense approach to scripture while still coming across as someone who is very relatable/approachable. Also there is a warm atmosphere about this particular parish, though it may have to do with the size of it, everyone seems to be very friendly and open.

They should prohibit the use of cell phones, ask them to turn them off or silence them. The people are very rude, they talk and visit as if they were in the market square. Also, lots of crying babies and parents just sitting there like they're goofy, instead of going out and seeing what happens to there baby. The parish priest should tell them: (please go out and take care of your children's who are crying inconsolably to be sure they are okay) The priest has a very high ego, lot's talking about himself. The best-Those of the music and the one who sings do it very well, not everything was bad.

Tried for a year and just can't connect with Fr. Mansfield. At times he has seemed a bit too political for me, and we don't need more of that in this world. The music in the church and the gentleman who guides the music is excellent. Sorry, looking elsewhere. Wish I could take the music director with me.

Did not feel welcomed. I feel my appearance was a factor. I live walking distance away. Been awhile that I've been to a church and was hoping to build foundation with them. The priest seemed rude, arrogant, and unwelcoming. I'll look for a different church.

Welcoming parish beginning with the pastor. Beautiful to see (almost all) people dress with modesty at Mass!! Organ music lends to the sacredness of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

The Parish is warm and welcoming. You feel a part of an extended family. If you are looking for a parish that fulfills your spiritual growth St. John Vianney is the church for you.

I hope y'all build your church soon! We attended Stations of the Cross. It was so beautiful and reverent. Thank you for a great confession!

They have a creepy display of pink and blue crosses outside the church as a stand against abortion. I have 2 drive past this everyday. It's creepy enough 2 convince me 2 keep going 2 my old church 50 miles away. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is put off by this. Please take it down!!!!

Pretty church exterior. On 5/14/24 I volunteered and picked up trash around the lot. The church was closed... I'd like to take a look inside some day.

Sane and sacred. Dedicated to orthodoxy and orthopraxis. Beautiful worship offered to that "Beauty which is ever ancient and ever new." Fr. Mansfield is a blessing to the parish and the community.
