6 months agoAmazing parish community and schools - if you want the best support to live out the authentic Catholic Faith then this is where you need to be! There's a priory of committed Priests and Brothers, a convent of teaching Dominican Sisters, and 3 amazing little schools providing the traditional Catholic Faith. So pleased we made the move her for my family 5 years ago - we are so blessed :-)

2 years agoDefinitely different. Although the church was smallish it was huge in character. The wedding I attended was simply beautiful. A lot of the rituals I didn't understand as I'm not catholic, but will definitely be asking in the near future.

3 years agoAmazing Gregorian Chant, traditional polyphony, statues, candles and of course, the Traditional Mass said in timeless Latin with awesome sermons. If you're wanting true Catholic Mass, look no further.
