It's sort of weird to review a church. But as I was searching foe places in Emily, this popped up. Well, the priest here is about to retire. He's a close, close family friend. He has lived with my mother in law (and my late father in law) for decades. He will retire this month after 50 years of service. He's one of those great non-judgemental Catholic priests. He made this church great. My mother in law used to run the choir until she moved a few years ago. Now the music reminds me of bad karaoke. Unfortunately in the entrance there are all these anti-abortion posters. At least no official homophobia. The congregation seems pleasant and typically small town. It'll be interesting to see what will happen after Father Spors leaves.... read more

My review is to inform other how wonderful this little Catholic Church is situated in the town of Emily Minnesota. We moved up here from Maple Grove Minnesota and were so excited to meet the new Priest Father Ryan from Ely Minnesota and the two special Deacons who reside over this parish as well as Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Crosslake. They as well as all the lay people who run these parishes are the best and bring a bright light to both communities and the surrounding area. The programs and the offerings of the churches are super! We are so happy to be here in "God's Country" with the support of two great churches. Quant St. Emily in Outing and the larger Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Crosslake. Thank you all at the Parish for being the best of the best! Sue Schaefer - Outing Minnesota read more
