I grew up going to this church.

It was such a significant part of her life, and she gave so much of her time and money to them, that I am deeply sad to write this review, but I do so with a calm and rational mind and in order for the people behind the scenes here to perhaps learn from their mistakes. It is important that a business (and make no mistake about it, churches are businesses) knows when they are in need of improvement. My mother passed away this past Monday 9/27/21. We had made arrangements with the wonderful Wantagh Abbey first, as we knew a week ago that Mom didn't have much time left. On Tuesday, 9/28 my sister in law, called St. Frances to plan the funeral for Friday, 10/1. Given that my mother spent 3/4 of her life as an active and dedicated parishioner here, I expected more. For example, a priest that knew her personally and could give an intelligible, personalized service would have been appreciated. Instead, the priest, a new priest as I understand it, dispassionately mumbled throughout the service and was more self-referential during the homily, rather than any attempt to honor Mom's life, who she was as a person and all that she did for that church. No one that I spoke to after the service knew what he said. My mother deserved better. However well-meaning he might have been (I won't discuss my personal feelings about priests here, but let's just say I left the Catholic faith as soon as I became an adult), what was also inexcusable was the fact that someone in this church's office saw fit to put my mom's birth year on the front of the program. We specifically asked for her birth year NOT to be put on the program. This may seem like a small thing to you or I, but Mom was very private about her age. I would say it was 100% her dying wish to not have this information out in an obituary or at the mass. You won't see it on the prayer cards we had made, either. In fact, one of my mother's closest friends remarked that she had hoped she would learn my mother's age by seeing her birth year on the prayer card, so even her close friends didn't know her age. This was a highly guarded secret and I can only assume that, given the pernicious nature of whatever organization it was, perhaps the ministry of funeral women, it seemed intentional. In other words, a huge F you to her. Shameful. I know someone went out of her way to search this birth date down because we did NOT give it in when we were asked, and we were told that after death, this should not be privileged information. What? That's not up to the women in the church office to decide. So yes, they had to hunt that information down and put it on the cover of the program despite her family's wishes. Pretty unforgivable, wouldn't you say? Whether or not you are of a certain faith, you would expect that in worst times, sickness and especially death, the organization would offer some kind of comfort to the individual and their family. St. Frances did not do this for us. I spent hours last night unsettled and profoundly sad that the church that was so important to Mom that she watched a live stream of mass daily during COVID and then throughout her debilitating illness, did not show up in any way for her nor us during this terrible time, other than to collect a hefty sum for Mom's funeral. I am disgusted.

And year by year more parishioners have fled to neighboring parishes. Want to bring down a parish? Find a liberal, micro-manager pastor who's stuck in the Church of the 1970's and fears change. Find a guy who appoints Parish Council members with an average age of 78 to rubber-stamp his progressive nonsense. Obsess on voodoo environmental nonsense and constantly warn of the rising flood waters and Sandy. Stifle community activities and shun the young new blood and its ideas. There you have St. Ignatius. The sacraments are here, God is here. But until old Hillary-hugging tree-hugging progressive retires in June, this parish is a shadow of the community pillar of the past. There are many good things I can say about St. Ignatius and its leadership, but the bad things are so destructive, the good is best left to observation. Go here for Communion, and struggle to hear something, anything spiritual in the sermons, and pray for improvement. God bless them all.
