St Lucy Catholic Parish

This is a review of their poor business practices. I did a juggling show for the church camp on May 17, 2015, and they did not tell me that I needed to get fingerprint clearance in order to get paid until after I did the event. I got the fingerprint clearance but they have still yet to pay me. The payment is now 6 months Late!

Consider this your personal invitation to come get acquainted or reacquainted with the creator of the universe that just happens to love you more than you know, and does so just because you are, well, «you». Show up to become a part of his love — no conditional love here, just the creator of the universe that loves us all. A good guess is it will turn out to be the best thing you ever did for yourself. Besides, who doesn’t want to begin a deeper personal relationship with, and a better understanding of, the brilliant force that lit the fuse of the big bang to start this ride? ;-)
Some background — went here as a kid. Brother and I faded away when I was 16. Lived in the Silicon Valley fast lane, acquiring it ‘all’.
Fast forward to 2012. Came back one day (I had issues that ‘money and stuff’ could never address). I fell in love, staying for good.
I am back with a passion because:
* God is love and God is in everything here. You feel it.
* The community is welcoming.
* The priests are real people that address real issues we all have in their sermons.
* I never feel judged. This is what loving God is all about — ‘love’, not scrutiny.
* A church for the 21^st century that celebrates a 2000 year old tradition of love of God, love of self, love of and service to each of our neighbors as well as to humanity as a whole.
* A place that stands by its parish members.
* A worship community that is a part of the Campbell community and the Campbell community is a part of St. Lucy’s.
* From the website: «The Catholic Church exists for this reason – to enable all people to know Jesus Christ personally, to be empowered by his Holy Spirit, and to be nourished in their journeys to union with God. Toward this end exist all the ministries and programs of St. Lucy Parish».
The Saint Lucy’s community lives this. I know because I am involved in several of these ministries and love the commitment to make this a better world, one person at a time. Btw, ‘being In a ministry’? is something my 16 yr. old self would have been shocked to see ;-)
Searching for something beyond a Tesla, an impressive address and going the longest at work without a vacation? Then come join us for Mass in English on Sundays (7:00am, 9:00am, 11:00am or 6:00pm) or Saturday evenings at 5:15pm.
O en español los domingos a las 1:00 pm o 19:30.
That’s a bunch of choices to come join the fastest growing catholic community in the diocese. There is a good reason why too. Come find out.

I never thought I’d be reviewing a church, but here I am!
I don’t wanna bore you with my life story, but long story short, I went to Catholic school for 12 years back home in SoCal and was immersed in the community. Once I started college and all the years after, I really lost my way and God moved further and further towards the back of my mind and out of my heart. I only went to mass on Christmas and Easter, if even.
My friends have tried to convince me to go to retreats for the past few years, and I have always backed out for different reasons. They then suggested just going to mass on the weekends and recommended St. Lucy’s due to the priests here. I say this with complete sincerity, I have been hooked and actually look forward to going to mass every week! I have only been going to masses where Father Steve is presiding (although I hear the parish pastor is also great) and his homilies are so funny, relevant, and well thought out. I actually pay attention rather than just going through the motions like I used to. And I don’t even feel the need to take my phone out and play with it at all! *gasp* I try to take everything he says and apply it to my life that week… aka the «homework» he gives you every week. :P
The parish community overall is also very friendly and welcoming. I love it here! My mom’s going to be disappointed that her hopes of me meeting a nice Vietnamese Catholic man while attending Vietnamese mass is not going to pan out LOL.

I had never looking forward to go to mass, Fr. Kevin and Fr. Steve are OUTSTANDING!!! humans beings, very down to earth, real and funny
I loved attending Mass here. The priests made Mass interesting, current and relevant to modern living. I was never bored and actually paid attention the whole time.
If you are not Catholic, please come here you become a good one.
I don’t think I never would said «I like to do my home work!» .
Come and you will see what I am talking about.
I am a bit sad, because I hear that Fr. Kevin, need to take care of some medical issues and would be leaving for a while, I’ll be praying for his soon recuperation and can joint us very soon.

I’ve never laughed so much at mass before!
I have been church hopping for the past year, looking for a church that I want to go to mass to on Sundays. One mass at St. Lucy’s told me that I found the my church! Fr. Kevin and Fr. Steven are incredible priests that celebrated mass at 11:00 am. I loved that they were both down-​to-​earth, funny, and real. They related to struggles about going to mass on time and being stewards of the church, but in such a meaningful and funny way that I will never forget their homily! I am looking forward to going to more masses at St. Lucy’s.

This is a warm, welcoming and Jesus-​oriented parish. There are plenty of masses during the weekend, and the staff and vounteers are there to serve. Overall, best place to worship in San Jose.

The praise «music» is ridiculously loud. What’s the point? Also the last time I was at a service at St. Lucy the driver’s side window of my car was smashed. This happened in the broad daylight in the church parking lot. Definitely not a safe area!

Although this church is lacking in windows, they are NOT lacking in spirit! I have definitely enjoyed mass at St. Lucy’s and appreciated the care taken to the homily, the music and overall liturgy.
They also have a cool electronic thing on the back wall that shows the number of the next song in the song book, making it very easy to follow along. Parking hear is a breeze and the community is very peaceful.
Traditional church– wooden pews set up in rows, however the pews are a lot longer than regular pews, making it very comfortable for a large family to all sit together in mass.
I would definitely recommend this parish for those in the Campbell area.
