This year we tried a new rental location which for proximity sake also meant a new house of the holy at Our Lady of Good Counsel on 40th. The church rally isn't much of a looker as it's more of a cookie cutter building which screams 1950's-1960's design. It's more functional rather than ornate. For parking purposes the church has a small lot behind the building and a much larger lot across 40th street which at least for the mass we were at in June didn't come close to handling the standing room only crowd. It makes no sense to talk about mass times as unlike the average parish the times here change depending on whether it's in season, shoulder season or off season. Either way between one of three churches within the St. Damien parish you're covered as they're all within a few miles of each other. I think we had Rev. Al? and if I remember right he was solid with his style and homily if not a little on the loud side as he bordered on yelling when he tried to accentuate a point he was making. The last noteworthy thing would be that come Communion time you need to wait for an usher to let your row out. Decent idea in premise except when you sit in the back of the church they towards the end they start sending one row forward towards the alter and the next row or two towards the back where the ministers are. Very confusing and lots of traffic jams ensued with people unsure of how to get back to their pew and bumping into each other. Overall a good place to worship with a very eclectic mix in season of locals and shoobies. We'll be back.
