St Nicholas of Tolentine Church

Love the priests here, they work so hard and they are so kind. Fr. John Byrnes is a angel. Much respect to Fr. Nick, and Fr. Jim. Great parish I’m proud to be part of.

Fathers Nick, John, Jim work so hard for all of us. They are what a priest should be. We are blessed to have them. I am proud to be part of St Nicholas.

I wanted to put a review here to mention the annual St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church festival, which occurs in October. This year’s festival brought out hundreds (and possibly more than a thousand) of parishoners, neighbors, and friends to 9^th Street. The festival is similar to a church fair/​fundraiser except more spectacular. Small carnival rides were operating on one end and a stage with live music on the other. Festival goers walked down the three-​block promenade to feast of local South Philadelphia food and buy t-​shirts and other small items.
The church remained open during the festival for peace and meditation during the event, which ran from 12 noon to 9pm. It’s was truly a memorable experience of food and friendliness. This is a must see for anyone in South Philadelphia and worth traveling for those living in other parts of town.

This is my Parish. Great Priests. Proud to go here… makes me want to practice my faith.
