6 months into our move to the Peninsula, I started searching for a church to go to. A bit of…read morebackground...church has always been a big part of my life, but I can't say that I felt the burning desire to go to church every Sunday. When I was younger, going to church was fun because I got to see and hang out with my friends. We would sit and talk for an hour and a half through the sermon and then get boba after church. As I got older, I started becoming unsure of the leadership in the church and slowly became less interested and eventually, I stopped going completely. So in my search for a new church family, I was very picky. This time around, I was looking for a leader that is passionate. I'd like for his message to speak from the heart and not just reading the bible word for word. I'd love it more if the message is relatable to what I go through in my daily struggles in life. I was looking for a friendly atmosphere, a place where you don't feel pressured - where they don't try too hard. A place with real and genuine intention and that they really want you there. My trusted Yelp led me to The Sacred Church. It's located inside the gym of Burlingame High School but don't let the appearance fool you. You can feel His presence and love and the energy of Pastor Josh will move you. His messages speak to me every time. This guy ROCKS! (if you just saw him walking down the street, you'd think he's just a college kid haha) He took us to Philz Coffee ('cause that's what he does to newcomers) to get to know us and we learned he's a goof ball, which makes us love him more and we don't feel he's intimidating at all as a pastor. His wife is beautiful and she has an amazing voice and their daughter is adorable. We have been coming here for 8 months now and we look forward to coming to Sacred every Sunday. One other thing we love about Sacred is they are hip! Ok, they serve Philz coffee and their coffee cups are stamped with their logo on it. How cool is that? If you miss a Sunday, you can listen to his recordings on the website. Also, tithings can be done through your phone! Yea, no need to feel bad if you don't have cash. Very current with the technology! So glad I found this church. Seriously, I invite you to check us out!

We…read morehad gone to many churches, but couldn't find one that felt like the right fit for our spiritual and family needs. We stumbled upon the Sacred Church through Yelp and decided to give it a try. When we walked in we were instantly greeted by the Pastor. It was not only a welcoming place, but a loving place. We enjoyed a great service with passionate worship and a message that spoke right to us. In addition, the children's service was perfect for our 3 year old daughter. We have now been attending Sacred church for a few months and have not only fallen in love with the church, but also the people. Not only do we leave church filled with an amazing message and great worship, but are able to connect during the week with many activities that take place during the week!

Going to church is not necessarily all about services, but I believe it empowers my life, and bring a sense of clarity.

Everyone have different beliefs, but if you do need a place to simply gather your thoughts, St. Bruno is always here for you. Until then, be kind to one another and Cheers! ~ :p

The sign stating office hours said open at 2pm-5pm. We had been waiting for about 20 minutes for the office to open on a bench in the courtyard and we were instructed to come in today at 2pm by our daughters confirmation teacher. At 2:03pm we once again checked to see if the office had opened and the door was unlocked and open. We walked in and the guy working inside, doing absolutely nothing, says to us "what do you need , can't you see the sign, We are Closed. What does the sign say". We show him the sign that says open from 2pm-5pm. And he comes out from behind his desk and grabs the closed sign from the door and shows us the sign that says "Closed. Don't you see that it says Closed". He then tells us " you can't just walk in because they are sometimes we are very busy". This didn't look like one of those "busy times". The door is open and No one in the office except for this one employee just sitting their doing nothing. He says "you can't just walk in but WHAT DO YOU NEED". Completely rude and condescending. I told him to stay busy and go back to his desk and that we were leaving. He says "No Problem". There was no reason for this guy to say anything like this. All he had to say is give me a few minutes and I'll be with you. Something so simple. Complete asshole and he works at the church.

During this time, I was distraught. I felt the need to find a church close to Seton where I could pray, have someone minister to me in my time of need, and wanted to find a pastor to pray over my dad. Having left the Catholic church, I knew this may not be easy, but I prayed about it and the Lord led me to Grace Covenant Church where my kids and I were greeted by a nice man by the name of Percy Sunday, November 9. He was so welcoming. The congregation was friendly. There was a man sitting by us, he said his name was Art which is my dad's name. Not a coincidence. I knew this was a sign from the Lord that we were at the right place at the right time. The Lord wanted to let me know that He was with me which was amazing! After mass, I met with Pastor B. He was so kind, empathetic to my situation. I got pretty emotional. He was very supportive. He was kind enough to come by the hospital the next day to pray over my dad on such short notice. My dad passed away a couple hours after on November 10. I'm just so grateful that Paster B was there. He didn't know me nor was I an active member in his congregation, but he showed up which says a lot. Despite my grief, the Lord has given me peace that surpasses all understanding. I highly recommend this beautiful church and grateful to the Lord for leading me to find it. Although I am not in the area, I know I will visit again. Thank you Grace Covenant Church and Paster B. May the Lord continue to bless your ministry, the church, and congregation.

It felt like she was getting rid of us. We did not even had a chance to speak and ask questions about dates and paper works necessary. I tried to asked about something and she said; its all in the paper read it! I tried to ask her again, she replied; read the paper! Everything is in there!

Although my son is not enrolled in the school, it has always been important to me that he feels connected to a Catholic community. A few months ago, I brought my son to ride his bicycle in the parking lot but had forgotten his helmet. Father Patrick approached us and explained that, due to liability concerns, my son could not ride without one. I completely understood, and we respectfully left. He also mentioned that if we returned with a helmet, it would not be an issue. Recently, we came back on a beautiful day, this time fully complying with the helmet requirement. However, our experience was very different. Father Patrick approached us again, but his tone was unexpectedly harsh. He immediately asked, "Who are you?" in a way that felt condescending, followed by questioning whether this was my parish and whether I attended church there. Despite explaining that I do attend, he told us to leave in a manner that felt abrupt and unwelcoming. When I referenced our previous interaction and his guidance about the helmet, he dismissed it and again insisted that we leave. What was most concerning was the tone and manner in which he spoke, particularly toward my husband, who is of Latino descent. The interaction felt not only rude but also disrespectful and, frankly, discriminatory. I understand that everyone can have difficult days, but this experience did not reflect the compassion, kindness, and inclusivity that I expect from a parish community--especially from its leadership. Because of this, I have decided to attend a different parish where I feel more welcomed and respected and for my sons first communion as well.
