We consider David and Sally Weaver, who served as rector for many years, a major contributor to our Episcopal faith. Every time we discuss Eman with current members or old friends, we feel at home again. People talk about the Gothic "cathedral" from Cambridge, the stained glass, the magnificent acoustics, but the heart of this church are the magnificent people. God bless Emmanuel.

My husband and I were married at St. Francis in June of 2010. The Church, itself, is beautiful…read more There is a high ceiling with a mural painted at the top, a large organ in the back balcony, and an alter that is minimally decorated but has marble pillars. The church is clean, well lit, and has a superior sound system. We wanted to be married in a Catholic church, even though my husband is not Catholic. This church was very understanding of our religious differences, and did not pressure conversion, pre-marriage counseling (although they recommended it), or a traditional ceremony. They seemed to understand relationships of the present time. The parish staff was wonderful throughout our entire experience. Maureen, who handles the weddings, was friendly and helpful. She responded to all questions (no matter how simple they were) in a timely manner. We also worked with Allen, the parish music director, who was friendly and also willing to help us out by singing some of the songs himself. On our wedding day, the church also provided us with two "day of" helpers. These ladies were also friendly and helpful. St. Francis has three ministers, so my husband and I went to some masses before to see how each of them conducted mass. We decided on Father Hoffman. He was very kind, and had great sense of humor. The mass he conducted on our wedding day was simple but relevant to our relationship. We couldn't have imagined a better ceremony. The only negative to St. Francis is the amount of money for additional instrumentalist, which is a separate professional company recommended by the church. My husband and I chose a violinist and trumpet player for an additional $200 each. Again, though, Allen was willing to do some of the other parts of our songs to save us money. Our wedding day was beautiful and surpassed what I would have possibly dreamed. I highly recommend St. Francis-Xavier if you're looking for a catholic wedding ceremony.

On our first visit a woman pastor was doing the sermon and I looked at my teenaged daughter and thought 'Wow you are fully equal here as a woman'. Then I thought it's wrong to be in a place where that is not true. The community helps to encourage and nurture you on your faith journey without the guilt, moralizing and lectures. The music is beyond belief, classical strings one week spirit band another horns then chorale maybe gospel or soul. Solos and chorus. It's a congregation of sinners, friendly ones, no one here is saved and that's why we don't judge we're seeking an easy judgement ourselves.
