Best education you could ever receive. If I hadn't gone to school there, I would have never been set up for success for my future. All are welcome to attend Mass anytime you can, YOU don't have to be Catholic to attend Mass. Come to just experience the peace this place offers anyone who welcmes it. Fr. Olvera, Fr. Hintersheid, Decon Scarpette, and Decon Carpenter are the most knowledgeable about our religious culture and are extremely caring individuals. This is a Roman Catholic Church and school who works directly with the Vatican Church. Beautiful spiritual place of worship.

Amazing Parish! Very welcoming and mass is simple but beautifully done. Father Olvera is the warmest, friendly, and patient person. He is extremely easy to talk to and doesn't have a judgemental bone in his body. Roman Catholic (Apostolic) Church is worshipping here. The school is also one if not the best education you could offer around here, in my opinion. Class sizes are smaller so they have individual time to spend with each child, personally. They are very passionate and patient with all types of children who has any (or doesn't) needs that could help your child excell towards the future. I am very serious when I say the best education ypu could buy into for your child's future endeavors.

We came for the playground and picnic! We love this park because it's always clean, plenty of space and not so busy as other parks! Have not attended mass or church due to not being Catholic but love the open fields, playgrounds and being able to teach my kids different forms of religion.

This church is a gem. During the liturgy the priest doesn’t turn his back to God, He faces God along with the parishioners. They have rails so you will receive communion on your knees. God bless this priest!! I hope to be a regular soon ….

We moved back to Ohio after living in Oklahoma for 9 years and attending a TLM Church headed by FSSP Priest, this is the Church and Priest that we will travel 30mins to attend, all others close to us make us feel like we have walked into a Protestant tent revival.

This church has been ruined, actually defaced by the current pastor. He has moved the altar and installed an altar rail. He did that between Bishops because he knew he would not be granted permission to do either of them. He says Mass with his back to the people. No readers, no Communion distributors, no women anywhere in the sanctuary or in the Sacristy. He says a TLM on the weekend, but you won’t see anything about it in the bulletin. Why?? Because it goes against Vatican ll and Pope Francis has been very clear about TLM causing a huge chasm in the Catholic Church. At a recent funeral, he wore black vestments and the funeral pall was black.
