I never imagined I'd be leaving a one-star review for a funeral, but unfortunately, our experience…read morewith Father Jim at St. John's left us shocked and deeply hurt. What should have been a sacred and comforting service turned into something cold and disrespectful. He showed no effort to personalize the homily and gave the impression that we were inconveniencing his day. Worse, during a moment when a family member was doing a reading, he interrupted--not to offer support, but to move things along. There was no compassion, no warmth, and certainly no sense that this was a moment of grief for a grieving family. Funerals are hard enough. We came seeking solace and spiritual comfort, and instead left feeling dismissed and disrespected. I wouldn't wish this kind of experience on anyone. A little kindness would have gone a long way.

I usually attend St John's church when I'm visiting my parents in NJ. The parish is conveniently located close to where I usually lodge on my visits. Lakehurst is a military town, home to the former Lakehurst NAS, now renamed and part of the larger Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and is a typical south-central New Jersey township complete with restaurants, shopping, etc. As a visitor here, I find the parish welcoming and warm. There are devotions like the Rosary, Divine Mercy chaplet, and novena prayers said before each Mass, and while the construction is modern, the architecture is not at all distracting. This attribute helps tremendously when engaging in personal prayer and meditations. The original church was built on Center Street in 1874 and now serves as the offices of the Lakehurst Historic Society. The present structure on Chestnut Street was completed in 1973. Definitely recommend St John's if you are visiting the local sites (i.e., taking a tour of the 1937 Hindenburg disaster) and need a place to worship and attend the holy sacrifice of the Mass.

This review is for the church. Family members suggested we visit this spacious church located on…read morethe site of one of the largest retirement communities in South Central NJ. The church is large by all standards with the main nave, altar, and pews arranged to hold over 400 worshipers at one time. In addition, there are four additional side altars connected to the main church but separated by connecting hallways so that multiple Masses could be conducted at any one time if needed (similar to ancient cathedrals). Likewise, if a Mass incorporates a smaller population, this can be held in the smaller altars instead of the large church area, conserving energy, HVAC, and power. While I was impressed with the layout (and I'm usually a harsh critic of modern architecture) this house of worship is actually quite well constructed and inspiring. We spent a peaceful 45 minutes in silent prayer here and it felt like only 5 minutes had elapsed. There are multiple areas for prayer, many icons, candles, and holy reminders of the patron, St Maximilian Kolbe, the Franciscan Polish priest who traded his life in the Nazi death camp "Auschwitz-Birkenau" in order to save a married man with children who was marked for execution. My sisters later met that man, Franciszek Gawojiczek, in the early 1990s when he toured America with an interpreter to give talks about St Father Maximilian Kolbe (canonized in 1982) Attached to the church grounds is a columbarium and mausoleum to hold the remains (both cremated and full caskets) of the parish's faithful departed. Veterans are marked by the appropriate military service insignia, wartime service dates, etc. We visited here on a warm, peaceful October afternoon and the experience was fulfilling.
