Ohio parishioners don't seem to review Catholic churches as often as Yelpers on the West Coast, so…read moreI'll have to give the first review from the perspective of a visitor. I was in the area this past weekend for the Labor Day holiday and needed a church with an early mass because I was driving to Pittsburgh for a Pirates game that afternoon. St. Joseph fit the bill because it had an 8 am mass and was in a convenient location. I'm definitely not a morning person, but early morning mass was the only option based on my schedule. Nevertheless, mass was enjoyable. Father Anthony's homily was solid and his commentary on the readings was clear, insightful, and relatable. He's an engaging and articulate speaker with a very natural delivery. The other parts of the mass were fairly standard. St. Joseph gets a solid four stars. I had a pleasant visit, but can't give it five stars because I'm dealing with a small sample size. Hopefully a parishioner can give a more accurate analysis and shed light on aspects that I would be unaware of as a visitor.

I visited Renew Communities (Church) on Sunday, 26 May 2019. The church I regularly attend was…read moreclosed for the memorial day holiday and my church encouraged everyone to enjoy the Sabbath day or visit another church. This church is located in Berea in a small shopping complex. My friend Gabby and I arrived for the 11:45am service which was a late service but I didn't get ready in time for the earlier services. There are 2 other services on Sundays are 8:45am and 10:15am. CHURCH SERVICE -- Service started with praise and worship time which is common to most churches. That lasted for about 30 minutes. Then the pastor delivered the message which was about sharing the Christian faith to others. I loved how the message had a question and answer session. So everyone got a piece of paper to answer certain questions pertaining to the pastor's message. Answering those questions for me really allowed me to delve deeper into my own personal faith. Renew is a non-denominational Christian Church filled with young people, families, and couples. The church isn't as diverse as I would have liked because the majority of people who attend are caucasian (white) but everyone I met was nice. I loved that they have a tea section inside so I grabbed a cup of tea before entering the sanctuary. I would not mind visiting again. **** - 81 total reviews in 2019 - 290 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 31 May 2019

I am reviewing this church as a wedding vendor:…read more This was a beautiful, gorgeous, historic church and perfect for us to say our marriage vows there. We attend another church, which some may call a mega-church because of the huge congregation. There is no altar, or aisle... it's more like a stage and an auditorium. While we love our church, we wanted something with a little more tradition. We wanted to stand where thousands of people have said their vows over the last 100 years. This was the perfect fit for us. Rev. Ron was wonderful. He didn't know us very well, but he made our ceremony very warm and personal. We had a packed church, and I imagine there weren't many dry eyes. The church assigns a coordinator, and we worked with Debby. She was helpful, organized and efficient. That hardly covers it- she was a professional and everything went smoothly. Every wedding ceremony needs a Debby- I didn't have to worry at all that things would go perfectly! The organist, Corbin, was really delightful. He worked with us to select our music and played beautifully on wedding day. That being said, this was a very expensive church. The total was around $1250- separate payments made to Reverend, the church, Debby, Corbin, and custodial. We aren't members, so I'm sure that's why. The church is also not very flexible on certain things like music, readings, decorations, or the exit. They don't allow rice, birdseed, petals, biodegradeable confetti... nothing that could be considered a slip hazard. The other cons would be that the church is in a part of Olmsted Falls that experiences high train traffic and the parking lot is small. If a train is coming through, traffic can back up pretty far. That being said, Debby made sure to warn us of this and told us to spread the word to our family and friends. Overall, this was a perfect choice for us. It's a lovely church and we are so proud to have become Mr. and Mrs. at Olmsted Community!

The reception food was delicious. From the cheese spread during cocktail hour (nice selection of crackers and cheeses) to the actual food (ham and roast beef were tasty) to the desserts (cupcakes!). All of it was solid. The only downside to the place is that there wasn't a ton of room to maneuver between the tables and chairs. Other than that, great venue!

The retreat at their Olmsted Falls campus was awesome. It was a God-filled time of listening to speakers, worshipping God through praise & worship music, having quiet tike to read and reflect (while writing our thoughts to questions in the booklet provided), and speaking/connecting with other women in breakout sessions. I really enjoyed one of the breakout sessions that we did which was a creative activity (painting). The catered lunch (sandwiches) was delicious and the mid-day snack of popcorn and candy was yummy. The continental breakfast was tasty - it consisted of muffins, tea/coffee, and fruits (different fruits in a cup such as grapes, cantaloupe, and strawberries). Daughters and Women out there, you are loved. And valued. I had such a wonderful time at this retreat that I can see myself returning to this retreat again next year. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 109/150 total reviews in 2024 - 758 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 11 October 2024
