St John of the Cross Catholic

Sister Bernadetta is an amazing example of giving. She taught my wife in the 2nd grade and nearly 50 years later, she is still remarkable and purpose driven. My wife was beyond words when she met with the sister. After 50 years apart, her lessons have guided my wife and helped her be a giving person as well.

This is my favorite church locally to go to. I travel about 15 miles outside my local parish to attend mass there. Unfortunately churches have been getting larger and larger it seems, but this one is still small and feels cozy. like the community and feel at home there. With covid they've gone to reservations to sit inside, but I choose to sit outside to save interior seating for the elderly or other folks who need to be inside. The have speakers outside for folks, so I join them, sitting under a nice shade tree. Not a bad way to attend mass in these strange times.

Nice, small church with friendly people. Fr. Gil is amazing.

Stopped by there for the fish fry...really great food

St John of the Cross is a beautiful, traditional Catholic Church. There are lovely stained glass windows and several large clear windows that allow the congregation to see the natural setting, bringing the environment indoors. Additionally in the lighting at the top of the church, branches from the trees outside are highlighted. On the grounds of the church are many statues of the saints, and a grotto dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The Mass was hearfelt, and both the priest and deacon did an excellent service. At the end of the service the priest asked the congregation to share anything personal they wanted to. Many people shared anniversaries, and achievements. I highly recommend this Church.
