I started here a few years ago and had a problem with the worship band. Now I came back here again ready to give them a second chance and the pastor is accusing me of something I did not do and is still holding me that I did it and won’t let me be involved with the church because of it. Other than that people are great.

Beautiful community. We were just passing through town and were welcomed with open arms and invited to join the choir! The liturgy was also extremely beautiful. Father's reference and love of the sacraments was evident. The homily was also quite good.

Friendly parish still small enough that you can get to know many in the community but growing as Johnstown grows. Lots of folks who truly love Jesus and His Church. New priest, Fr. Smith, is dynamic and you can tell he really has a personal relationship with the Lord. Really welcoming, knowledgeable folks if you are a fallen away Catholic coming back home or a convert to the faith!

I never miss a Sunday Mass here. The people are warm and friendly, the music is great, due in great part to the outstanding participation of the congregation, Father Dean's homilies are always right on target. We have a lot of social activities including Sunday breakfasts in the outdoor Pavillion, Bar-B-Q and square dances, bonfires and weiner roasts, autumn harvest dinners, looks like we really enjoy breaking bread together! Come join us! We would be happy to have you with us!

I helped deliver the Nativity Statuary. I needed to pee, and a helpful person there directed me to the public restroom.The bathroom was clean. It would have been nice to get a tip because those things are very heavy. The statues, I mean.

Father Ghiloni reaches out to engage the congregation. He uses common sense and understandable examples to explain and drive the meaning of the readings. This is a friendly parish!
