Queen of Angels is about as standard as they come for one's average community church. From the…read morechoir to the interior, everything here screams simplicity. There is almost a slower feel here, which for most city-goers is a nice change of pace. Simple doesn't mean comfy, as the church pews are a little rough on the the knees and the aisles are a bit tight. Standing room isn't kind here, especially when the church gets crowded. The ushers do a good job of keeping churchgoers in line and the priests are easy going enough not to bore people to death during their sermons. This church is the perfect non-gaudy (not God-dy) neighborhood church. Their last English speaking mass on Sundays is at noon.

Shout out to Father George!

Seven years ago, I had a conversation with a Indian woman about Durga. She suggested that I should try this place. The minute I walked in, I fell in love. I will be totally honest here; haven't visited this space in a while because basically, I moved. I'm kinda partial to this place, because it was the first Hindu temple I've ever visited. Even attended a Puja here once. Despite the fact that I wasn't Indian, I still felt welcomed by everyone. Some of the women even taught me a few traditional dances.

Congregation is genuinely committed to investing in the Astoria community. Theology is sound (they are a PCA church, affiliated with Redeemer Presbyterian Chuch). Worship was a bit tame for my tastes. I'm not sure if this is a product of it being a presbyterian church but hopefully they'll be open to using real drums and electric guitars in the future. The sermon that was preached that morning was pretty straight forward. I think I would prefer sermons that are a bit more intellectually challenging or have some twist that make them a little more out of the ordinary. Overall, it's a solid community church with great people. I might eventually come back to it since I live so close to this church but I'm still in the church "shopping" process.

Plenty of seating and anywhere you sit you will get a good view and good acoustic means you can hear the priest clearly .

I was struck by how wonderful the interior of the church is and from the design I bet it's very old . Glad I came to attend Sunday mass with a family friend and I didn't get bored or fall asleep.

St. Sabastian's is about as impressive as they come for Catholic churches in NYC. The place is…read moremassive and could easily fit a crowd of 2,000 and maybe more with standing room. Given the large Filipino / SE Asian population in Woodside, this place is sure to be crowded every Sunday of the week. The inside of the church has a modern appeal with a classic touch. The wide interior, deep walls, simple altar, and elaborate caved ceiling gives this place a real amazing look. Usually the priests are easy to listen to without boring the youngsters to sleep. The choir is situated on an elevated second floor and generally sing so well they garner a big applause from the crowd during the end of every Sunday mass. This is good for those of us who can't sing worth a lick, just let the professionals do their job. What does get me is how disorganized the crowd situation can be. For some strange reason, many people sit on the ends of the row leaving a huge gap of space in the middle. This makes for awkward seating for the late stragglers and even more so for people attending mass in a large group. The other thing is the lack of ushers. During communion, people just get up as they please and flood the aisles making the people traffic all the more congested. It's kind of like a bad club that has little flow of people traffic, resulting in plenty of "squeeze-bys" and difficult nudging from the elderly or handicapped. For the sheer number of people it can handle and the amazing choir, experiences here are for the most part good enough for return visits. Just watch out for the hordes of people crowding the Filipino / Thai restaurants in the area afterward, that's a whole new kind of seat jockeying.
