User Reviews for St Michael The Archangel Church

My great grandfather who immigrated from Italy helped build St Michael's church in 1901. My last name is engraved in the bottom step. My grandparents, parents, and my generation have been baptized and/or married in the church. I like how the church is so beautiful inside and has stayed with the Roman style. Even though it's a further drive for me, I prefer the intimate feeling of St Michael's.

I attended Christmas mass officiated by a man named Father Mayo. He ended the mass with a big talk about building a new wing onto the church or something. He went on and on about it and it was obvious nobody cared and everyone wanted out. It seemed totally inappropriate. I know it must be difficult to be a Catholic priest because you have to try to keep at bay your natural and totally normal sexual urges and try to not become sexually deranged as a result and touch young children but come on! This guy is a psycho! Maybe they should let catholic priests get married. We might avoid a lot of child molestation and nut jobs like Father Mayo.
Pros: some nice people
Cons: priest a nutjob, organized religion

I've never been one to be a big fan of the catholic church even though I was raised catholic. This church is refreshing. The pastor of this church is amazingly "normal" and fun (and brilliant) to listen to. The church is old and needs to be renovated but it's like a great old first edition book or old vintage clothing. It beats out new and shiny everytime. Give it a try and tell Father JIm hello!
