I have been a faithful parishioner for the last ten years. In the past couple of months, the quality of the church has started to decline noticeably. Ida from the hospitality staff is rude to parishioners in the communion line when you let others go before you. The church decided to save on its heating bill by turning off the heat and keeping the doors open during mass at night when temperatures drop to 58 degrees and below. Everyone comes to mass in long wool coats with scarves, hats, and gloves, quite unusual for Southern California attire. A good number of the congregation consists of seniors and children who are more susceptible to pneumonia, flu, colds, and other illnesses; not everyone can afford a flu or pneumonia shot, and some do not own a coat. While fighting the return of COVID-19, they invite it to return with such negligent and reckless practices. Father Roberto Rueda is the Priest/Parish Administrator and does not find anything wrong with rude hospitality staff or putting people at risk for possible health issues. He has been made aware of these concerns and treats you like you are not educated or intelligent, and it is a complete fabrication of your mind. The associate priest, Father Florentino Victorino, has expressed an interest in our concerns but seems reluctant to help. I do not know if this is out of fear or not knowing what to do. I hope this review reaches them and prompts them to make the necessary changes before they lose more parishioners due to bad behavior and rude conduct.
