I enjoy discovering new churches and I found this Catholic church with its beautiful stained glass…read morewindows while attending a rummage sale in Miramar. In the 1950's there was only one Catholic church in the entire south Broward area. St. Stephen's was created when 250 people from the Hollywood and Miramar areas came together to worship in a humble space created out of wood crates and cement blocks on September 6, 1953. A need for Catholic services was filled and by 1954 a church building was completed. The building was enlarged as more people attended the church and on August 12, 1956, Fr. Robert Schleffen was commissioned to become the first Pastor of St. Stephen the Protomartyr Church. In 1991 the church was refurbished to celebrate its 35th anniversary. The Creation stained glass windows were commissioned from renowned artist, Sister Diane Couture, SSJ. Today the church body is made up mainly of Hispanics and African Caribbean Islanders who worship under the motto "ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM" The church is a multi-ethnic and multi-language Catholic community. The church offers a daily weekday and weekend mass with a schedule provided on the church website. I love learning about the history of different churches in the community and St. Stephen has a long legacy of helping those who are hungry with the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry. They are currently accepting donations.

Instead of her showing her compassion and empathy, she seemed bothered and waved her hands in the air like she was frustrated. The priest also was in a rush while he prayed for our family and he wouldn't stay to answer our questions and bushed us off. They also missed my sisters name for a misa that my mom payed for and refused to give a refund. This is the worst experience I've ever had in a place of worship!! Despite it all, a lady named Vicky was attentive to our needs and she showed compassion. If only everyone that we dealt with was more like her.

The church stands out beacon of faith for the Catholic community of Broward County. St. Gregory Catholic Church was established in 1959 under Father Michael Keller. In 1961 the parish was dedicated. In 1979 a fire destroyed the church but the congregation came together under the Reverend Martin Cassidy and rebuilt the church which opened in 1982. In 1988 the church opened a school. The present school was completed in 1995 and expanded in 2000. The school is open to students from PK to 8th grade and has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as an exemplary school. The church has a number of charities that it supports and you can volunteer in many ways to help the community. The church holds mass in both English and Spanish. Mass is held every morning, and seven times on Sunday. A complete list of mass times can be found on the church website. While visiting the church campus I enjoyed visiting the peaceful Prayer Garden that was completed in 2004. The Prayer Garden features a large fountain, statues, and benches for quiet reflection set amid trees and landscaping. In 2021 Northwest 76th Avenue on the east side of St. Gregory Church was renamed Cassidy Boulevard in recognition of The Reverend Martin Cassidy's accomplishments at St. Gregory Catholic Church. Cassidy who is from Ireland served as pastor from 1974 to 1991. He was a driving force in laying the strong foundation that supports the church to this day.

I moved to Florida Two and a half years ago and as St.Gregorys is five minutes from my home and my family children went to the school I began attending the 6:00pm mass however, during Easter I moved to the 10:30 mass as I was uncomfortable as a black person as the church base is more of a Spanish congregation. I usually sit between the fifth or sixth pew in the from the front of the alter towards the isle I have noticed from I have been going there no one ever sit beside me, if they come to my pew they enter from the opposite side leaving a wide gap between themselves and me, if you say good morning or good evening they pretend to speak no English when the time come for offering the sign of peace they look away from you waving their hands they never look you in the face they look everywhere except at you. Today just as the mass started two Spanish ladies said excuse me I came out into the isle so they could pass easily, they stood right next to me but as as the priest said be seated they again said excuse me, picked up their belongings and moved right across to the row opposite my seat which was more filled with their own people. The week before I stoped outside the portico where the priest was greeting people after mass I thought I would introduce myself as a new person to the church he greeted and spoke Spanish to those he met when my turn came he held my hand shook it said nothing and moved my hand to his right meaning I was to continue moving. I guess even when the word of God is being celebrated and the congregants have taken Holy Communion racism and selfishness is still the order of the day. How very sad I have attended mass at the Vatican met the previous Pope on a trip organized my previous Arch Bishop and have never had such a caustic experience at a Catholic Church.

I was previously a part of City and Somi, but I really love Miami Gardens. There is a sense of diversity culturally but also multi generationally. As a New Yorker, that is something that I deeply value. Vous is committed to a culture of kindness, humility, community, and love. Jesus is truly their message, and people are really their heart. My favorite part of the church is their Vous Buddies ministry. Without it, it would be impossible for my family to attend church. They provide my autistic son with 1:1 support ensuring his safety. Additionally, he is taught a strong Christian based curriculum. Mind you, Vous Buddies is entirely ran by "servant leaders" (volunteers) so I am eternally grateful for peoples generosity as they are giving of their time for my family's sake. I love Pastors Rich and DC but have also found the local Pastors for Miami Gardens: Kyle and Bree to be wonderful human beings. Grateful to be a part of such a lovely community.

You can…read moreeither drive through it or walk through it which is the best way to get up close to the displays. It's hard to believe how much it's grown through the years and I was surprised to hear that this was their 30th year. They now offer really fun things like hat rides and train rides for the little ones. They also sell things like hot dogs, popcorn and hot cocoa. They ask for a "donation" for the purchase of these things but who cares?! Do people really believe that it costs nothing to run a display like this so that literally hundreds of people can enjoy it every year?! Definitely a do not miss event if you like admiring beautiful lights this time of year. Check website for hours but I believe it's open most nights until 9:30 pm.

We're from CA and it was conveniently nearby the Hilton hotel with one of the earliest times that we needed. Good air conditioning and all the pews had cushioned seating. Not crowded at all and there was no choir. Holy Communion was ministered from both the front and back of Church. The priest's homily lasted no more than 5 minutes, and Mass itself lasted barely 35 minutes. I'm not sure if they were rushing or were moving unintentionally fast, but I have never attended such a short Sunday Mass.
