My latest experience here is head priest, its deacon, and its piano minister and church helper Anthony, its head Knight of Columbus leader George has me questioning why I bother driving to church every morning every day thirty plus minutes( Here church leaders preach gods word but does not walk or show gods word in its actions and in its inaction.God is their ultimate judge and I have been a respected church parishioner for over twenty years, a Sir Knight of Columbus for over ten years, on its Bonfire Committee, A Food pantry volunteer for feeding the homeless, unemployed,and human beings temporarily down on their luck, I have witnessed by the aforementioned peopactions and inactions, by their choice of words that come from their mouths, discrimination all types including and against minorities, their words they use as Gods words when they preach and they actually are using their own words and agendas and issues to treat parishioners and people who come asking for help, they treat them like garbage! Think twice about worshipping and especially tithing here because your hard earned money will go to them continuing their human agendas and not Gods will.Yes this Community Catholic Church has some great priests like Father David Lawrence And Padre Arturo who took their priestly oaths seriously; their priestly duties seriously and are not among the problems except they don't write ty notes for their gifts they receive and father David assumes he knows me when he hasnt a clue but he knows me by my good unselfish actions!They are great men of god and faith and great role models for all our parishioners and their families, their kids, their grandkids, and for future generations to come but they work as directed by head priest and these kind, god loving men, Father David Lawrence and Padre Arturo deserve more work as they are examples of god's word and God's love for all its people and all its creatures four legged parishioners and all! They teach Gods teachings and their unconditional love for their parishioners so outstandingly:) But they cannot help THIS CHURCH from its problems of human beings in authoritative positions hired and paid to do their jobs according to God's laws, principles and words in the Bible, and in Jesus' teachings.They choose to impose their own human agendas and opinions above god and that is unacceptable even to the point where there is discrimination witnessed by churchgoers firsthand, while there is also, inhumane treatment of its parishioners, and of its careless disregard for the safety of people coming to them and begging for their help! I witnessed this firsthand as did the other parishioners and No one did anything to help this man who needed help most! For that those men will be judged by God in the end! They didn't do their priestly duties as paid employees of the church, as men who took oaths to God as priest and Deacon, and as baptized Catholics taking oath to uphold church values, Bible teachings, and as human beings love thy neighbor as thyself! "Do not worship strange Gods"in their Garden in the back of the church where they have these Ten Commandments written in cement.Honor thy mother and thy Father! There is a hypocrisy going on at this church and these trusted men of god are desecrating the Bible and its teachings in favor of passing their human agendas in their words and actions and by their inactions! They are accountable for these and responsible for all their human words, actions, and failures to act as catholic gentleman at all times.There is serious need and urgency for improvement here because it is very dangerous when humans put themselves above God and above God's teachings and principles in the Bible! I speak the truth as I witnessed it, was discriminated against personally three times now, and as God knows and witnessed their human injustices and unfair treatment of longtime parishioners and complete strangers in need of their help and in that case they chose to not act upon their duties as priest, deacon as the oath of those positions hold, and in the name of basic kind human decency.If you are looking to worship in peace and respect the church and its teachings, love God above all!Go elsewhere hypocrisy is alive and well here and they think they are above being held accountable because they are located in a well to do area. I suggest if you wish to worship and pray in peace you attend St John Vianney church in Walnut Creek where Father William presides and teaches God's word where all are truly welcomeLove God above all and where his replacement Father Michael is in charge and he is a gift from God and preaches, walks the Walk, teaches and loves God with all his being,makes the parishioners feel Gods love and teachings! Be yourself and be authentic and know that there is a lot of hypocrisy within this st Bonaventure by its head and vicar general and he is choosing yu pmay god when he is paid and dressed for his job to preach Gods word not teaching it( read more
