WOW This man who hears Pastor is greedy needs this church. I've attended it for a while now…read more Sometimes I wonder how the pastor knows just what I need. He is so anointed from God and such a true faithful man. He speaks in a way that he's not over anyone's head. God bless you Pasto Brian. I will be praying this John person gets to attend our church and see how God works. I will pray God will bless him as he has blessed you. We all need the Lord in our lives.

I do not live in Visalia however I visited this church a couple of weeks ago when the relics of…read moreSaint Terese were brought there. This is a very large church but they had ample parking. We were greeted as we came in the main doors once inside the church I did ask one of the attendance if there would be a good place for me to sit since I did have a mobility aid I kind of needed a little more room. I was directed to a wide section of seating which was perfect. The church itself is very pretty without being too much. The crucifix really stands out. During this event everyone was very kind and gave us directions on how to approach the relics. During the time we were waiting some of the priests came to the microphone and we're telling personal experiences regarding Saint Terese that was very interesting to hear although some of it was a little hard to hear as several children were there crying at different times. As we were leaving the attendance smiled and gave a little wave which was nice made me feel welcome. If I lived in Visalia this is the church I would go to although I do prefer smaller churches this one did have a nice feel and was closer to the traditional style church then some of the newer mega church type of places which I don't care for.
