Wonderful and peaceful church. The priests are insightful and supportive
The choir was lovely for my aunt's funeral.Tgey are truly a blessing.
Great place for mass and confession ! They have confession everyday and a holy
Hour with holy music at the same time going on.
The Cathedral is beautiful with the stained glass windows and the pictures so well depicted. The craftsmanship in the ceiling and on the columns is stunning. All created before laser design and cranes. Enter the sanctuary with appreciation to the caretakers and legacy donors. Would have loved to hear the pipes of the organ! The entrance is free but donations are greatly appreciated.
Welcoming and vibrant community. I like how English and Spanish community come together. Very active parish. There are so many ministries to help in; there’s something for everyone.
I love it is beautiful church and the people there are wonderful 🩸🩸🩸🩸🌺🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
Breathtakingly beautiful architecture. There was a service going on when we visited, but we were still allowed to come in and walk around to see the different worship areas. Gift shop is very small, but has some great stuff such as jewelry, many different types of rosary beads and pouches, holy water bottles, etc. This is a must see if you are in NYC.
My home church for over 25 years staffed by the Oblates of St Frances de Sales. Loving, supportive community with a myriad of ministries and spiritual growth opportunities. All are welcome!

Absolutely beautiful. I have a soft spot for stained glass so this church was gorgeous. The atmosphere was great, even if I’m not religious, I still felt like I was connected with god. As a music nerd, the organ playing was amazing as well. Overall, amazing experience and definitely recommended!
We moved to this community 3 years ago; and I have even started viewing 9am mass Live streaming in YouTube. However I would love to go In person if only they offered Spanish mass. I go to Prince of peace to receive my mass in Spanish. It would be great to have Spanish services closer by. I guess, I will never truly understand why this is not possible here at Christ the Redeemer on Huffmeister.

You can walk in and tour around during the day. The architecture is fascinating. Light a candle for someone if you are Catholic. It's quite nice and quiet. Take time to sit and reflect. Thought it was interesting that they had QR codes on the back of each pew to donate, for the mass reading or for your mass offering.
Enjoyed a good couple of hours and mass in here, and it's definitely one of my top 3 cathedrals in the world.

The glass paintings are beautiful and so are the statues and interior! Gorgeous and a must visit on a visit to NYC!
It's a small community but the people are very nice and friendly.
An uplifting refuge of transcendent calm in the heart of the city. Worth seeing for the architectural and artistic details even if you’re not religious. In the far end of the nave, behind the main altar area, there is a small chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin that is reserved for prayer - photography and noisy conversation are not allowed. If you need a place to center your mind and heart, stop here. God bless St. Pat’s.
Gorgeous inside and out! The respect people have for one another inside by being quiet is astounding. We donated $2 to light a candle and they do ask for a donation for entering. The stained glass is just beautiful, I could just and look at the glass in awe for hours.
Disappointing to see the hypocrisy. There is no reason for people that preach about peace and happiness, to be so prejudice towards people of color. We go to church for spiritual enlightenment and not to be treated like dirt because of our race.

After 5 years of donating, you can expect for my Donations to end TODAY... My money will go to a church that actually strives to be a good representation of Christianity.
I am a member here. I sing in the CTR choir and volunteer in several ministries. I always feel welcome when I'm not sitting in the choir area. Lots of great people. Both Priests are awesome!
The minute you step into the church a serene atmosphere envelopes you . Beautiful Sermon of Parish priest on Tuesday the 13th .. Each one of us have a goal .. loved the story of the light and the rocks .. the sermon of being the salt of the Earth .. Father's sermon tugged at the heart and makes you feel one with God with his content body language and emotions during the sermon . Would like to follow online if there is a link .
Was visiting & am thankful to Jeyes Thomas and Maria Basu for bringing me to this beautiful Church and its Holy Ambience. Warm wishes ..
Mrs .Alice Joe Paul .
This Parish is Extraordinary! A true family in Christ! You can feel the presence of Holiness from the moment you enter, until you leave. And you will never want to leave.

I recently visited St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, and I was blown away by its beauty and grandeur. The cathedral's Gothic Revival architecture is simply stunning, and the intricate stonework and colorful stained glass windows are breathtaking. The interior of the building is equally impressive, with high vaulted ceilings and a peaceful ambiance that makes it an excellent place for reflection and meditation.

As a history buff, the cathedral's rich history piqued my interest, and I loved learning about its origins as a sanctuary for Catholic immigrants and how it has remained a symbol of resilience and faith over the years. It was fascinating to see how the building had endured many challenges, including fires and bombings, but how it had always prevailed as a beacon of hope and worship.

Additionally, attending Mass at the cathedral was a beautiful and uplifting experience. The service was elegant, and the music was awe-inspiring, adding to the overall ambiance of the environment.

Overall, St. Patrick's Cathedral is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to New York City. This beautiful and historic landmark is a reflection of the city's diverse culture and is a testament to the beauty, power, and resilience of religious faith. I highly recommend a trip to this iconic landmark; it is worth every visit
Traditional mass that reminds me of my childhood church. Love this church. 🤍🩷❤️
This was a beautiful Church with a very large Chapel. They had plenty of parking, and the church had amazing accoustics. The only warning I give is that the organ is in the middle of the back of the Chapel, and it appears to also be the focus area for those amazing accoustics, so either wear ear protection like the Organist does or sit away from the organ. We had to move it was so loud! However if you are Catholic and visiting, there for a concert, or other event this is a beatiful spacious, well laid out, large Church and Chapel, which is definitely worth seeing.
It's a nice big Church, plenty of pews to sit in. We were there for a private funeral Mass, which went off very well.
They keep the air-conditioning cranked up really high. It was a nice day, on the cool side, so the interior was not comfortable. One had ro wear a jacket inside to keep warm.
Wonderful welcoming Parish. Great choir
Our family's happy home since 2004. This community is incredible! We have been abundantly blessed through this beautiful Church and hope we can return the love and gifts we have received.
It's a Catholic church, what do you want? They've a fairly sizable community here, lots of space in the main chapel with overflow services in another hall for big days like Easter. Lots of events, Spanish language support, special interest groups, a scout troop, Knights of Columbus, and ample parking. Overall pretty standard for a large community. Decent facilities though some of the ones at Christ the Redeemer are newer.

Services are standard traditional Catholic, not the new age stuff if that's what you're looking for.
The Lord is with us. Blessed be God forever. Jesus is coming soon!! Take heed, repent and believe in the Gospel. Follow the light of Jesus to salvation. Judgement is upon the world, have your lanterns lit and the Lord's house clean (Your heart) and walk in the light away from the darkness of the world.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ This Parish is incredible 🙏🏼
I love this church. It is very open and welcoming. It’s a pretty busy church so it’s best to get there at least 10 minutes early. The choir is amazing and the priests are very passionate. I highly recommend.
In my recent travel in SE Virginia, someone asked me of your pastor, Fr. James C. Hudgins, whom she was following of his podcasts every weekend. How fortunate to having him in the area. And of course, all the Parochial Vicars and Deacons. Thank you for transforming us and LOVE our LORD even more!
Beautiful church with a great liturgy and wonderful prayer spaces. Anyone in the area has to check it out
Possibly the prettiest Catholic church in the Arlington diocese.
Very nice Catholic church. I'm not a big fan of the TV screens but I understand that those that don't know the words will find it less intimidating to participate so I can deal with that. Lots of seating and plenty of parking. Felt very welcoming. I appreciated the homily. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.
Beautiful and large Roman Catholic Church with a wonderful community and pastor!
The chairs are arranged so well that the parishioners can clearly hear & see the celebrant, the choir and all the other active members of the ceremony.
Beautiful church! I visited here for my Rite of Acceptance and the staff was very friendly!
I love this church with all my heart. Clean,really nice inside with all the painted glass and an great Sunday program.
The church is beautiful and very spacious. Excellent architecture features, no columns blocking the prayers view.
We. Here many years still LOVE it here! Adoration for Our Lord and Savior weekly with My Mom is peaceful ! And Wow incredible Servants of God : Deacon, Renzette, Father Huggins, Father Dizinski, Father Barnes all make this church with parishioners Full of Love & Joy!!! 🙏🏻✨✝️ Gods Blessings to ALL ! ❤️🙏🏻✨✝️👑
My family and I have been members since the very beginning. From the moment we worked in, we felt we had found our home. Father Ryszsrd is wonderful and caring.
I went to 8 AM Mass as today was a holy day of obligation. What a blessed opportunity! Relics of Saint Carlos Acutis and Padre Pio!
My family and I been attending to mass for the past year and we love it, it would be great if we could listen the mass in Spanish too. God blessed each one of you all.🙏🛐✝️
My brother/ his family and our parents when they.were alive attended this church. They all like this one mostly because of the Priest and Deacons .I've dealt with them on a couple of occasions, Fall Festivals and both of my parents Funerals. They did a Great job for both ,in addition for my nephew / murdered and Funeral 7 plus years later .
The Parishioners have been Greay ,I'm sure like all churches there's only a very small amount of Parishioners that actually make the Parish what it is ,they have that CORE ,
Thank You for what you do for your parish under the leadership of your
Priest and Deacons
May GOD Bless You All
A wonderful, welcoming Catholic Church. If you haven't felt welcome in other Parishes, come visit, you are welcome here. 😊
1st Reading Exodus
2nd 1 Tim 1:12-17

Gospel Luke 15: 1 -32
The Shepherd had ONE Job. Take care of the sheep. The sheep didn't get lost. The Shepherd lost the sheep. He did not notice.. the sheep was missing.

What's Missing?
A Loved one, friend, maybe its forgiveness, patience..
What did you once have.. where did it go? What slipped away?

Exdous 32. the ppl had one job, to worship God

I had something, but now I don't.

What is valuable.. the sheep. It's gone. The Shepherd now has a new job.. to Act.. go find the lost sheep.

The Prodigal son, lost something. He Acted.. did something different.

Is there something missing?
It's Time to take Action
Choose to Act

John 3.16
God chose to Act..
He GAVE His Son.. To SAVE US

Luke 15.28 . The older brother. He had one job.. to Love. But he refused.

The one job is to come back.
The one job.. find what is lost
Count Your Sheep.
And If There is One Missing.
My God Give You Grace

One Job TODAY
Love 🤟

I didn't bring my notebook.
GREAT MESSAGE!!
🤣🤣💙💜👋✌️🌊
Father Kulma is really awesome, a good priest, holy man of God with wisdom and leadership skills. Staff members are welcoming also and kind.
Built by The greatest pastor ever, Fr.Wm.Saunders and his parishioners hard work to get donations and the passion to build not just a cathedral like church, but an elementary school right next door...it was a miracle and we all loved being participants in this holy and solemn undertaking....we are BLESSED by GOD TO BE A PART OF OUR LADY OF HOPE...
Good, orthodox priests here. Friendly and reverent. They go out of their way to serve their people well! Very modern church building, just so you know.
Love Fr. Mrettu and Fr. Jaffe. They're so kind and faithful, with good homilies.
They've definitely increased the reverence towards Christ and his sacraments at this parish.
Confession every morning now before daily Mass! Such a blessing!!
So warm and friendly that I registered to be a parishioner and volunteered for the religious education program.
when we first arrived in Reston we went to several churches and it was only once we arrived at St. John Neumann that we finally felt at home. The priests are wonderful and give excellent positive sermons without 'preaching', the music is always outstanding the people have been so welcoming.
Incredible church community. Even though we moved 30 minutes away 10 years ago, we still go here. Love this church. My extended family who is not Catholic, and some of whom are not even Christian also appreciate how friendly, welcoming, and unassuming this church is. <3
Beautiful church. Very helpful and caring priests and staff. Multiple services in both English and Spanish.
A large church that's welcoming and rich in faith. It's run by the Oblates and 2 of the priests were my children's high school (Paul the VI) teachers. I thank them everyday for the good education that prepared them well for the college studies.
Priest atmosphere church building and mass begins and ends in time
I'm Catholic and this is a Catholic church. If you're Catholic you know what I mean. A warm friendly, ethnically diverse congregation. Not too keen on the music but I'm picky that way. The tabernacle is over to the left side of the altar, but tastefully highlighted. What in the world is with the stained glass over the altar? Whatever happened to stained glass with meaningful images? But Christ is there- body, blood, soul and divinity. So who am I to complain?

A wonderful place with hospitality of the staff here. Thank you very much for working hard to publish many helpful books for people.
Great church with really good priests. Excellent daily Mass schedule (M-F 06:15; 08:30).
This church is very beautiful and has stunning details! The high ceilings and stained glass windows are beautiful.
Abbot needs to be more "mobile"...
The old-school form of Mass is good for the soul, and Father Guest's leadership makes this parish a true community. Our many charitable activities, religious education, participation in Diocesan programs, and travel opportunities are amazing.
One of the most beautiful Catholic Churches in northwest Houston!
This Church is such a blessing to the Body of Christ. The Pastors preach the truth in love, and truly care for the salvation of our souls. Is a praying Church and they bless the community around them. Is Christ Centered. and faithful to Catholic teaching and tradition. We feel blessed to attend when in the area..I recomend it to anyone who wants their families to grow in faith and unity, and grow to become a strong witness to the world around them. The sermons are truly amazing ... they bring light and guidance to face the challenges we face as Christian's in today's society.

friendly and hospitality
This place is a house of the Order of the Carmelite. It is good atmosphere and good friars
Awesome place! This place houses some of the coolest/holiest I've ever met.
A more conservative Catholic church. Our kids got a solid teaching of Catholic beliefs in the religious ed classes. On a few occasions the sermons became more Republican than Catholic, but that may have changed since we stopped attending.
warm place meaning tranquil
Very lovely chapel and house. The brothers are quite friendly.
Beautiful, peaceful Catholic Church, school, and formation house for religious men.
The Dominicans are definitely fighting the good fight. They have beautiful adoration on special holy days, and it is a beautiful place to see next to the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.
Lovely church that's always packed. Heard the bishop speak last weekend, it was wonderful and poetic. He spoke on Christian unity over the divisiveness of our elections. He called on us to not hate but love and forgive one another.
Specialized library offering research opportunities in Carmelite spirituality. Very capable and helpful staff. The Carmelite community of Whitefriars Hall is in the same building providing warm hospitality.
If you want to go to a church that teaches the truth and the priests love being priests. Our Lady of Hope is for you. The parish has so many activities that can use your talents. Been at this parish for 8 yrs and what a blessing it has been for me.
We used to live in Reston, and we attended John Neuman Church. All the priests, the staff and the people there made us feel so welcome (We're back in our country Honduras). It's a very active and loving community. I miss especially the 9 am daily mass , and listen the choir and the piano of the 11 am Sunday mass that we used to go. Also the 2014 calendar!!! May God keep blessing everybody there and make that community grows bigger and stronger.
Our Lady of Hope has been a great community church for me and my young family. It's very easy to get involved with their organizations and there are plenty of family friendly activities to participate in. If you are interested in joining a Catholic Church with very active members, this may be the place for you and your family.
