    Visited with a family friend recently. I haven’t been here in several years but I can definitely say I still enjoyed it very much. The mass was a little longer than usual but the priest did an amazing job presenting the scripture and the altar was beautiful. The church itself is in a bad part of town but it does have a friendly security guard which I thought made it feel much safer (I wish my church had security). They definitely have done updating over the years and it still feels as welcoming as it did back when. I was hoping for Sunday breakfast after mass but I learned they stopped doing these recently. I will definitely be back for a service, the next time I am in town.

    I have not visited this parish. However, I am a fellow Maronite in a Florida parish. I would like to address this to Ms. Tina...such a thought provoking statement. I agree with you whole heartedly. With so many of us with the ability to give financially and with our time and talents, it's a shame that so many choose not to. I pray with our Lord's help that your parish continues to flourish.
