Saint Mary's is a beautiful Catholic church nestled in the heart of Gloucester City, New Jersey…read more I've had the pleasure of working with the staff at St. Mary's for three years and I have seen first hand their dedication to the community of Gloucester City. The people of the church are also loving and supportive. It is evident that St. Mary's is the glue that holds the neighborhood together.

Was visiting the area and stopped in for 9AM Mass. Parishoners are very welcoming and the priest positively radiates Christian joy. The cantor at the Mass we attended was excellent and was accompanied by a thundering organ. Communion is very orderly and I like that they have separate lines for those who do not want to partake of the precious blood.

I attend a meeting here weekly--the facilities are just perfect for our group. The building i…read moreclean and welcoming. The meeting room is spacious, has a speaking area/dance floor, and a stage. There is also a kitchen and plenty of seating. The hosts are very pleasant to our group. Parking is along the street, which isn't a problem unless there is snow around.

A nice little church to have a nice little Irish wedding on St. Paddy's day weekend. There may be a…read morelittle confusion because this church is also known as Holy Angels Parish. There is a parking lot on site, and the priest and staff were very sweet and friendly. They told me I work hard for my money, which was a very considerate observation of the wedding I was shooting that day.

Was visiting the area and went to the Saturday evening Mass. Really nice modern church, built…read moreabout 1996. Large, looked like it could easily hold 1,000 worshipers. Mass was celebrated by a priest and deacon, and the homily was excellent. They had two collections, but doubt that is normal. People seemed friendly and you could tell there was a real sense of community. What I didn't like was that communion was just the host, no precious blood. As well, one of our group was not catholic, and went forward for a blessing at communion and the EM in that line did not seem to know what to do. Another small personal annoyance is that the tabernacle is off in a side chapel, so you don't get to see the sacrament being reposed in the tabernacle. All in all though, a really nice church.

Ample parking. Nice, large church. I was there for a funeral. The service was about an hour and a…read morehalf, but only the first 30-45 minutes was dedicated to the funeral service. The last 45 minutes to an hour was dedicated to recruiting people to join the church by capitalizing on people's shame and fear. It felt very opportunistic. They should focus on the funeral and not trying to convert people to their church. Very disrespectful to the loved ones.

I can also confidently say I have Gospel-centered friendships through Metro and it feels like family because everyone is so hospitable and warm. If you are looking for a church in Philly, highly recommend checking out Metro!!

Update: It has now been 6+ years since I first came to Metro Church. So grateful. This is a place…read morewhere I've discovered & re-discovered the gospel over and over again and deepened relationships in this community through the "mundane" and hard, but needed conversations that make up "doing life together".
