I also have history with both my girls fully grown they got baptized here, did their first communion here and confirmations. It was a most pleasant experience. Being a little bit smaller than the other churches I've been to, in this area I love this church the best. Services are good, priests are great, full of warmth, wisdom, witty sense of humor and never get bored (at least I don't here...sorry I had to admit that, and really one shouldn't get bored, but forgive me, I'm only human). Parking during certain events and holidays can be challenging, but your surrounded by residential, so you can park outside the church and still won't be a long distance walk. However try to watch out for the houses located on Burke St., closest to the church, they are almost all or mostly older residents who frown on the congestion & monopolized parking situation, especially in front of their houses, so they tend to run the sprinklers on full blast and thus wetting your newly washed vehicles.
