    Being new to the area, we were reluctant to leave the comfort of our parish in La Habra, just a 20…read moreminute drive "over the hill." But that 20 minute drive turned into 80 minutes when my wife or I had to drop our daughter off at catechism then pick her up again. After a year of that, it was time to take the plunge and make St. John Vianney our new parish. One thing about this parish is that they want you to participate. Unlike OLG, catechism isn't drop off. It's parent participation. And the little ones, I'm talking 5 and 2 year olds, have a daycare there, too, so they participate as well. As much as my wife and I were hesitant about this parent participation stuff, we actually enjoy it. In fact, it has brought us, as a family, closer, both to each other and to the Church. Becky is just great and she was soooo kind to let my little ones participate in the children's Christmas mass as shepherds. Monsignor Tim is a great homilist and is welcoming and transparent, especially with regards to the failings of the church recently with all the scandals. He extends a welcome to all who believe, not just those who conform; that means all are welcome regardless of sexual orientation; divorce or past experience. Fr. Egren has a passion to bring out the passion in the parishioners and a penchant for the dramatic with his Christmas presentation and the upcoming veneration of St. John Vianney's heart. Fr. James, who is also a physician, brings insight into Asian perspectives and challenges in non-Christian countries. The parishioners themselves, are so welcoming and understanding, especially when you have four little ones like I do. And there is a sense of belonging that you just have to experience for yourself to truly understand. My two little boys have a sense of comfort in attending mass and just enjoying the church. After all, it's God's home and He wants us to feel comfortable in His home. Sure, there are those who have complained that the church is too sterile or not as traditional, but the building does not make the church. The people do. Personally, I like the simplicity of it all. Parking can be a bit of challenge or frustration, so go early to get a spot or park on the field and walk a little... And I read the comments about those who can't understand the priest due to his accent. But that is no reason not to attend nor a reason to complain. You get out of mass what you put in to it. To better understand the mass and any celebrant, literally or figuratively, I suggest viewing Bishop Barron's series on the Mass. This parish has been through a lot with the burning of the old church and the fund raising and building of the new one. But through it all, it has proven to be a wonderful place of worship and a welcoming community of parishioners.

    Great sermon. Priests are so kind, and you can understand them. Beautiful church. The rows of pews…read moreare in a square which makes it difficult when accepting the bread of Christ, and the money baskets aren't passed around either. They lay out is certainly different. No music, no singing, very quick 40-45 minute service. Beautiful, but not for me unfortunately. My Catholic Church search continues. God bless the staff and priests of this congregation.
