Not sure why this one hasn't been reviewed before but it was a delightful parish church. We arrived…read morehere because we were looking for a sports bar nearby and thought we'd drop in for Saturday evening Mass while in the area ... glad we did. This church/parish/school has been here for decades and anchors the neighborhood. They have a well-developed ministry to the area and broadcast everything through their parish newsletters and on their website (http://www.holy-spirit.org/church-home). Delightful mission, engaging priests, and sizable number of parishioners - this is a hit in the neighborhood and was a wonderful respite for us. Try it some weekend.

Har Har! Matey's! Not sure why I want to begin this review evoking pirate sounds but sometimes I do…read morethat when I get excited about discovering something dope. I began a come-to-jesus situation while pregnant and I went with it. Coming to find a church however, not as easy to flow with because judgy, meany, preachy and not so peachy. I was initially weirded out because what church meets in the park! (Only for warm weather time don't worry). But I am ecstatic I gave it a try. There was friendliness, casual truly come as you are vibes. And no, your clothing doesn't matter just as long as you have them on maybe? because children. Anyhow, what followed was a reading of scripture then a really awesome dialogue that could grapple, question and find new ways of thinking about the Bible. I knew this was my home right away and maybe you'll drop by for some spiritual church realness tea too?

It's difficult to determine an age of this beautiful structure. The inside is very modern and has…read moreplenty of space on the lower level for activities. On the outside we see the quaint architecture of laid carved stone with magnificent features. Their website states the church started in 1922. The chapel area has been modernized as have other churches to remove all signs of stuffiness to welcoming with open arms. The beautiful stain glass is in all windowed areas but especially in the chapel as the multi-colored light streams forms a backdrop halo effect on those leading mass. The community church has many free functions including concerts, dinners and other events.

The Fish Fry is in the cafeteria which is in the basement of the school. The meal price included a beer or wine and a lot of good food. I tried everything they offered except for the vegables (which were steamed green beans and carrots.) You could choose fried and/or baked fish. I tried both, the baked was more meaty than the fried, both good. The sides, for me, baked potato, french fries, coleslaw, a cheese filled bread stick and a cookie. I really like he baked potato and fries. The coleslaw was fine. The cookie was a nice way to end a good Fish Fry. If you're into Fish Fries, mark you calendar for Nativity of our Lord. They aren't every week, check the website for the Mens Club Fish Fry.

While I am not a member of this church, I have visited 4 or 5 times over the past year, and each time, I have come away with the following views of this community: 1) They're all about the person, Jesus Christ. He lived and He died and He rose again - for all of us. 2) They're going to love on you. People are genuinely welcoming, and not in a superficial way. 3) The teaching is powerful, intellectually challenging, and thoroughly Bible-centric. If you want to dig in further on their theological views, check out http://hopecc.com/about-us/mission-vision/. 4) You're going to be called to serve God there. They have countless opportunities to serve the city, serve the church, and serve globally. The church is located in downtown Minneapolis, so get ready to dig in to serve our city. http://hopecc.com/serve/ 5) Hope CC takes music seriously: "it as it is the duty of the Worship Team to follow the model of God's creational artistic example by striving to create accessible, authentic, (and sometimes provocative!) musical art." Their worship centers around hymns composed/arranged within modern/contemporary music styles. They're recording a worship album now. I cannot recommend this church highly enough. Check it out.
