Father Casey, Just…read morewondering, tonight on wbz (4) they spoke about the 'T' in financial trouble, A crisis if you will. And that they would have to raise fares and increase other things because they owe so much money. But yet one day every month they (the top guys) have a catered lunch of nothing but the best. Shame on them. Almost as bad as St. Vinny's situation, ceiling falling in, they say they don't know were they are going to get the money, but Father Joseph White can accept a gift of FITTED golf clubs, and FREE golf lessons by the golf pro. Being the parish priest shouldn't he have declined and asked that the money go into the church that is crumbling overhead of him or it is as people believe, the only thing that matters to him is him. Please be advised that several people will be writing to you as the people who are leaving this parish in droves are disgusted with him and his attitude.

It's a little odd to be reviewing a church but I guess there's a first time for everything. This…read morechurch (Roman Catholic) is the closest one near my apartment and while I am not a regular church-goer sometimes when I want to go to church (or when my mom guilt trips me) this is my go to place. It's a small church really with tall vaulted ceilings (well for South Boston). The priests are always nice and sometimes we'll get a funny sermon. The parish also offers confession starting half an hour before the saturday mass. The saturday afternoon mass (4 pm) is never full and I prefer going to that one since there are fewer families (no crying babies). Just a word of advice though, replace the female soprano/alto her voice is just annoying and I hate it when she starts singing prayers that are supposed to be spoken. Other than that, I have no complaints! A great little church with a small parking lot (but get there early if you want to snag a spot) in the back.

He also ministered to my family through baby dedications, weddings, baptisms, etc over the past 14 years. You're not going to find a more sincere, consistent and doctrinally sound pastor in the area. He went as far as to stay over a night on a couch with no advanced planning during a family crisis. I would like to also respond to one of the negative comments on this page. The Bible says: Woe to you when all men speak well of you. A few outraged slanderers is par for the course for preaching the gospel in Massachusetts. I would be more concerned for someone's ministry if no one spoke evil of them. It's usually a stamp of a good church to have haters. Ask the Apostle Paul. My advice for the slanderer would be to: a) get born again if you are not, and b) submit to good Godly leadership as we are all commanded to by God. If you do this this you will be more graceful to the flaws you see in others instead of trying to tear people down on yelp reviews. Giving your "pennies" to the local church will become a joy and not a duty. You won't give "reviews" about a church as if it was your local Starbucks as you casually bounce from one to another nitpicking as you go. You will start to see it as a place where people come to meet with a *living* God. Are you telling me that you can't see and celebrate the downright miracle of a Bible-based church in Massachusetts circa 2022 and beyond? Someone who attends a church once a month and tells the pastor what he should be teaching is a walking red flag. My current pastor has endless stories of young prideful men walking in trying to tell him how to do things better while they themselves are doing nothing for the Kingdom and won't lift a finger to help. He calls them fruit inspectors; always examining the fruits of others but never their own. That said I can guarantee you Pastor Dane took your input to prayer. Even if he didn't enact all of your changes immediately upon your request. Here is a question for you: Have you forgiven this pastor and the church members for these perceived faults? Like the old saying goes: if you're looking for the perfect church, forget about it because the moment you walk in it will be imperfect. The church is a hospital for the sick and hurting. That is of course unless you are already well and not in need of a physician. For everyone else please stop by and watch God transform your life as He did mine through this man's ministry.

Don't forget the desserts such as Baklava, Galatobouriko (my favorite), or the honey soaked donut holes called "Loukomades." That pair perfectly with a Greek coffee or Nescafé frappe. In addition there is a DJ providing Greek music and then a live band with people dancing into the evening. The Gyros are so popular that the line sometimes stretches out to the road! So, I find it best to get there early, sit back and enjoy the music under the tent with a cold beverage, close my eyes, and feel that I am on a Greek beach soaking in the sun. It is great to have it back!

I moved to Cambridge in August of 2009 from California, and the community at St. Mary's really helped me feel like I had family away from home. Fr. Antony is one of the kindest and most sincere priests I have met. He makes an effort to get to know newcomers to the church. He has a wonderful voice and manages to make every service feel like it's the most special one of the year. Speaking of services, there are PLENTY of services during the Lenten season and throughout the year (including major feast days). The choir at St. Mary's, which sits among the people, gives the church a wonderful communal feel and sounds spectacular. The church itself is one of the oldest in Cambridge which lends to the creaky and "lived in feel" of the interior. Although the iconostasis and the stained glass windows are not "breathtaking" they do give St. Mary's a unique and home-y feeling that I have yet to find at another church in the area or across the country. Positives: One of the friendliest and welcoming churches I have ever been to, Fr. Antony is amazing, wonderful coffee hours after liturgy, summer hours, central location/accessible by T Negatives: Limited street/lot parking (careful, you might get blocked in in the lot!)
