Let me start off by saying, I am not very religious, but I am spiritual…read more I felt a sense of tranquility when I first visited the Hindu Temple of Minnesota. I always think a place of worship, be it any faith, should be calm and quiet. May be it was just the day I visited this temple, but there were so many people in there reciting hindu hymns and praying to Lord Shiva. It was so peaceful and I think everyone at the temple could connect with the lord. The temple's architecture takes the cake. It's huge for a Hindu temple in the US. I have been to bigger ones in IL and CA before but this one was very traditional in its structure and took me all the way back home to India. The idols of all the gods are so well sculpted. The jewelry and the decoration of each and every god was done aesthetically. You don't need to belong to a certain religion to appreciate spirituality. I think everyone should experience different cultures and respect different faiths. I do and I am happy that I have been to the most amazing places of worship in the US and around the world.

But if possible come for the 10:30 High Mass, because the music is reverent and beautiful, and it is a great introduction to the fullness of the old Roman rite. (It does run longer than a typical OF Mass, so plan for 75 - 90 minutes, depending on what Sunday you choose.) Our current priests are both excellent preachers and the homilies tend to stick closely to the readings, which you can find in English in the gray missal/hymnals in the pews. On your way in, look at the front of the bulletin to find out what Sunday it is. The gray missals have each Sunday's scriptures arranged by Sunday towards the front of the book, with the order of Mass in the center of it. We were looking for a warm parish community, and have definitely found it here, as well as reverence and seriousness about the faith. Unfortunately we have lost our parish center and so have nowhere to gather for fellowship after, but if you can brave the cold/heat, please stay after Mass out front and introduce yourself! We found people to be open (for Minnesotans!!) and friendly.
