When we first joined the parish, they welcomed us with open arms and I knew immediately that this is where I wanted to be. The parishioners are wonderful; as are the clergy. I encourage anyone that wants some spiritual guidance to attend a service here, it's a great place to reflect and find your center. You will have to come experience it for yourself, I can't put it into words!

Growing up in Buffalo, NY meant that every Friday in Lent, especially Good Friday, was celebrated…read morewith a fish fry. With my dad in town this year for Good Friday I looked to google to help me find the closest fish fry that we could attend. I was shocked, but in hindsight not surprised, to learn that a Lenten Fish Fry is mostly a midwest custom, as google was returning results located in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio. Thankfully, I stumbled upon St Simon the Cyrenian Church. This was a fish fry done right! It was located in the community room of their church, although you could smell the fish frying from 3 blocks away. Walking in the door we were greeted by no less than 5 people who were ridiculously excited that we had stopped in. I am hesitant to go into random churches lest I be harassed about joining or forced into praising Jesus, but there was none of that here. This group was simply throwing a fish fry for the community and were thrilled that the community was stopping by. We each had 4 pieces of fish, 2 pieces of corn bread, green beans, mac and cheese - the REAL mac and cheese, with real cheese and bread crumbs on top- and a piece of pound cake for $8. If you can beat this price for anything anywhere let me know. The woman in charge told me that they put this on every year, and I guaranteed her that she would see me again on Good Friday 2011.

My first encounter with the church was for a chiptune festival and there was even some amazing bathroom "Pizza Masons" graffiti. I've been here for a couple shows/events. I'm heartbroken to hear that they are limiting or shutting down their show services. If you have the opportunity to go to a show here, do it. Super affordable with awesome folks working and attending. I'll miss it.

This place gets insanely hot with no air conditioning which is not only obnoxious, it's extremely dangerous. It's 2026, get air conditioning. The acoustics are terrible, I don't believe there is any sound treatment done to the room. The microphone at the show I went to had horrible feedback the whole time that no one did anything about, and the crowd couldn't seem to shut up while the band was playing (likely asking one another, are you about to pass out from heat exhaustion?) I struggle to understand why people keep booking this place.
