I want to share something that happened to me on Easter Sunday--an experience that left me…read morehumiliated, heartbroken, and questioning how someone representing Christ could behave in such an un-Christlike way. I was hired as a photographer for a First Communion at Church St. Maurice. The families asked me to take both group and family photos and to respectfully capture key moments during the mass. Before the ceremony began, I spoke with the woman who hired me to make sure I understood where I was allowed to stand so I wouldn't cause any disruption. Despite taking every step to be respectful and discreet, the priest suddenly yelled at me--during the mass, in front of the entire congregation--demanding that I "sit." I was stunned, embarrassed, but I immediately sat down and complied without a word. I had no intention of creating a scene and only wanted to complete the work I was hired to do with dignity. But it didn't end there. Later in the mass, while I was already seated quietly in the pews, the priest pointed at me again and brought up the earlier incident--this time using me as an example in front of everyone. I was shocked. I hadn't said anything, hadn't moved, hadn't done a single thing to warrant being called out again. At that point, I was overwhelmed and left the church in tears. What hurt the most wasn't just the public humiliation. It was the bitter irony of it all. This happened in a church, on Easter Sunday, led by someone whose role is to embody Christ's teachings--compassion, humility, grace, love. But what I experienced was judgment, pride, and cruelty. Christ never shouted at those trying to serve. He welcomed them. He met people where they were, with kindness and mercy. I came with nothing but good intentions and professionalism. I left feeling shamed and broken by someone who should have been a vessel of peace. If you're searching for a church home, I sincerely hope you choose a place where Christ's teachings are lived out not just in words, but in action. Where people are treated with dignity, and love is practiced--not just preached.

There seemed to be a good amount of local parishioners as well as people visiting the area like me. The priest gave a nice homily and was engaging. I would definitely return if I'm back in this area. It's always good to find Catholic churches when traveling to fulfill the Sunday obligation.

We're from CA and it was conveniently nearby the Hilton hotel with one of the earliest times that we needed. Good air conditioning and all the pews had cushioned seating. Not crowded at all and there was no choir. Holy Communion was ministered from both the front and back of Church. The priest's homily lasted no more than 5 minutes, and Mass itself lasted barely 35 minutes. I'm not sure if they were rushing or were moving unintentionally fast, but I have never attended such a short Sunday Mass.

It happened to be the Spanish mass and I do not speak nor understand too much just enough to get the jist. I just needed to be around prayer. I sat in the back of the church and couldn't stop crying. It was the end of mass and people were just touching my shoulder and I knew they were giving condolences. It was very loving. See I was new to little flower coming from resurrection in Dania. They closed shortly months before. I than went to see father Tom and he stayed with me as long as I needed and comforted me and my daughter and gave us crosses that were carved from a tree in Jerusalem. It has been over two years since that day and I now have my son and daughter as alter servers and my daughter attends youth group. Which is after the 5:30 mass on Sundays. Which I wish was in the am. Father Rich and Deacon is in charge if the servers and youth group and Cherie is also a main counselor. They play lots of games, field trips, and do volunteer work. I love it for my kids. Father Rich is very beloved amongst the kids and parents. Father Pierre is fairly new but I have to say his masses are my favorite. The way he performs the blessed sacrament is very touching and really makes you think about the body and blood of Christ. First time I witnessed it I got goose bumps. I very much enjoy my church. May god bless.

In front of the church is a historic marker erected in 2011 by The Dania Beach City Commission. Dania Beach was the first city in Broward County and this was the first house of worship. When the church was organized in January of 1906 is called Mount Sinai United Methodist Church. Mr. & Mrs. P.H. Roper held the first services in the town schoolhouse. In 1908 land for a church was donated by Mr. & Mrs. John W. Mullikin. Rev. John Walker oversaw the building of the church. The Hurricane of 1910 damaged the church. Repairs were made and it was finished later that year. The Hurricane of 1926 completely destroyed the building. On March 17, 1927 the Cornerstone was laid for a new building. In 1939 this church was named Dania Methodist Church and later renamed Dania United Methodist Church as Methodist churches were unified. In 1966 the existing church building was replaced by a new one, with a consecration service on September 18, 1966. In 2002 the Dania United Methodist Church closed its doors and the church reopened in 2004 as Mount Sinai United Methodist Church with a new pastor, Rev. Ernestine V. Henry. Mount Sinai has now left and the congregation for this church is currently Russian Orthodox.
