St. Stephen’s Catholic Church

There’s a new Priest who is very welcoming of families and children — any anyone really! I began attending as a Protestant and always felt welcome and invited and free to ask questions and dig around. I was never received with judgement from the Priests or the parishioners. And I never in a million years thought I would enjoy a Latin Mass — but the few times I attended their Latin Masses (which as of right now are a few times a week) I fell in love.

The singing of the choir is enhancing to a prayerful encounter with the Spirit of God. The adoration is HEARABLE from the music & gives a solemn praise to Christ. Since I don’t speak Latin, the quietude left in my mind by the music & foreign language opened a new experience to be in COMMUNITY with Christians while still being able to «be still, and know that I AM God ». The mass is stunning. If you know the mass in English, its not difficult to follow in Latin & know what is taking place. Beautiful for adults. I WOULD NOT recommend this experience for children under the age of 13. Most children would find it tedious. I remember Latin Mass from my childhood, it was difficult as a child to be quiet & still during the service.

Was shocked to be told that children (3 years old) are not welcome on the premises. Pastor Wong’s orders. Way to be a part of the community!
I’ll be glad to see this place bankrupted in the coming years and replaced with something that pays property taxes and gives back to the community, as this place obviously doesn’t get it.

Hmmmm will I go to hell if I review a church… We decided to check out some neighborhood church’s. St. Stephens has a Latin high mass on Saturday evenings at 7:30pm. I have not been to a Latin high mass since about 1958… And now I know why… But I liked the incense and I loved the choir. It’s these guys
They do gregorian chants. And they do it Very well.

girls night out… in today’s case, we decided to church it up. why up? … why not?
i like up.
& i love Cantores in Ecclesia. this well-​known choir is dedicated to the preservation/​promotion of Gregorian Chant and Sacred Polyphony and every saturday evening they sing at the Latin mass here at St. Stephens. yo who’s Greg? and Poly-​what? just think of beautiful singing, enhanced by the beautiful acoustics of the church, and beautiful sacred liturgy in traditional Latin. yes, everything is in Latin except the readings and homily. did i mention that it’s beautiful? :)
the choir switches it up every saturday. check out their website for schedule & more info:
