"Cindy" was extremely rude when I went to this shop on a Saturday afternoon. I was standing inside…read morenear the entrance looking at a purse when she approached me and, in a nasty tone, said "we close at 4." I checked my watch and told her I still had 8 minutes, then continued browsing. She immediately followed up in an angry tone with, "Seven minutes!" I fully intended to leave by 4. She eventually walked away, and I continued looking around. A moment later, I heard her loudly say "We've been here all day!" and I noticed her speaking about me with her two coworkers while they all stared in my direction. I approached the counter and asked for her manager's name. She gave it to me, and when I said I would be speaking to the manager about her behavior, she again responded angrily, saying " I'll make sure to let her know." For a shop that claims to be a charity benefiting domestic violence victims, the attitude displayed by its staff does not reflect the mission they promote. I am a long time La Grange resident, and I've both donated and purchased items here over the years, but after this experience, I will no longer be patronizing this establishment.

We…read moreusually visit Eman several times a year and have kept in touch with the many friends we made while we worked on pastoral care, the homeless "Beds" program, the Endowment Fund, Vestry and many other events. We consider David and Sally Weaver, who served as rector for many years, a major contributor to our Episcopal faith. Every time we discuss Eman with current members or old friends, we feel at home again. People talk about the Gothic "cathedral" from Cambridge, the stained glass, the magnificent acoustics, but the heart of this church are the magnificent people. God bless Emmanuel.

My husband and I were married at St. Francis in June of 2010. The Church, itself, is beautiful…read more There is a high ceiling with a mural painted at the top, a large organ in the back balcony, and an alter that is minimally decorated but has marble pillars. The church is clean, well lit, and has a superior sound system. We wanted to be married in a Catholic church, even though my husband is not Catholic. This church was very understanding of our religious differences, and did not pressure conversion, pre-marriage counseling (although they recommended it), or a traditional ceremony. They seemed to understand relationships of the present time. The parish staff was wonderful throughout our entire experience. Maureen, who handles the weddings, was friendly and helpful. She responded to all questions (no matter how simple they were) in a timely manner. We also worked with Allen, the parish music director, who was friendly and also willing to help us out by singing some of the songs himself. On our wedding day, the church also provided us with two "day of" helpers. These ladies were also friendly and helpful. St. Francis has three ministers, so my husband and I went to some masses before to see how each of them conducted mass. We decided on Father Hoffman. He was very kind, and had great sense of humor. The mass he conducted on our wedding day was simple but relevant to our relationship. We couldn't have imagined a better ceremony. The only negative to St. Francis is the amount of money for additional instrumentalist, which is a separate professional company recommended by the church. My husband and I chose a violinist and trumpet player for an additional $200 each. Again, though, Allen was willing to do some of the other parts of our songs to save us money. Our wedding day was beautiful and surpassed what I would have possibly dreamed. I highly recommend St. Francis-Xavier if you're looking for a catholic wedding ceremony.
