I am so happy the new church finally opened its doors. My youngest daughter and her three children were here for the opening weekend last Sunday and they loved it and there was plenty of room. My granddaughter, Shannon, age 9, was thrilled to read the words on the large screen and she sang her heart out. We sat in the second pew over on the left side and there was a screen right in front of is. I have tried all three churches and I really do like St. Vincent de Paul. My sister and her husband belong there so that did factor into my decision. My cousins go to St. Marks and they are happy there. And I have friends who go to St. Timothy's and they love it there. So to each his own. I just hope that when everyone returns we will still have enough seating at St. Vincent's.

Went to the Consecration of new Church Wednesday. Crowded as usual. Bishop consecrated the Church, offered a special Mass of Consecration. The statues of Mary and St. Joseph were in place. Fr. Pietro was working on getting all in place for the Consecration, said the statues and the rest come later. Bad part is still parking. We who live North have to park in the grass, the parking lot cars must head South towards CR 466A.

Easter is much more crowded than the Christmas Masses for example. |

St. Vincent DePaul
Well we have gone back to St. Vincent de Paul. We left our house at 9:35 am for the 10 am mass and driving down Powell Ave we had to wait a few minutes to get inside of the parking lot and as usual it was very crowded but we found a spot to park. When we walked inside the church the first time, I found it to be very plain and we were stuck in the back of the church. The sound system was not great and we couldn't hear the priests or the lecturers doing the sermons. We had difficulty seeing the screens to read the music as the hanging lights obstructed the view of both screens.. If you have a tall person in front of you in a pew, then you can't see anything at all. I was told the church holds 1600 people. Last Sunday was the exact same thing, stuck in the back. I didn't get to see the statues. When you are in the back, you don't see anything. I thought the sound system would have improved but not yet. I do like the seats and the pews. They are very comfortable. What I liked about St Mark's is the floor was on a slant in and you could actually see everything up at the altar. With St. Vincent's de Paul it was all one way hard for viewing. I have noticed people are dressing up nicer at church which is important. It shows respect for God and his church. Patti
