While on vacation at Massanutten Resort, my family and I stumbled upon this sweet church. Located…read morejust across from the main entrance, the pastor welcomed us with open arms. It reminded me of the church of my childhood. Traditional hymns, choir members in robes and beautiful stained glass windows. We truly felt God's love there and that all are welcome. 8)

I attended Mass at this parish three times while visiting the area. What a gem. The pastor speaks…read moreat least 3 languages, including Latin. I found both priests and the parishioners welcoming. It's apparent that Fr. Kevin really cares about souls, the souls of his flock. He makes the Sacraments available. His homilies are an opportunity to learn more about the Faith. Fr. Kevin is a teacher. He also makes theology easy to grasp but doesn't water it down so to speak. Next time I'll take notes! I realize for some Mass may be long so when I think of that I realize it's because my love is short. God bless everyone at Precious Blood. I look forward to visiting again.

I was at the funeral that Ho Chee M attended... it wasn't as bad as stated and it seems this…read morereviewer rushed home to write that nasty review... I am sorry he had a bad experience. Regarding the funeral mass - I will admit that Fr Kevin wasn't completely Jesus like, that is taking the blows and turning the other cheek (how many of us are?) but why not just follow instructions if you don't already know what the norms are at a Catholic funeral mass instead of testing him (or any priest) to begin with? Priests only state the guidelines about receiving communion when it is clear that attendees aren't practicing Catholics (common at funeral masses)... and it wasn't his fault the children didn't know where to go or what to do, perhaps some adults in the family should have guided them or perhaps they could have even asked any of the other adults for help instead of walking out of the church. (many attendees noticed that moment because we were all waiting, and when we turned around to look they had just disappeared - it was kind of weird) If you want a fuzzy rainbow church or a Fr James Martin kumbaya service then Fr. Kevin is not your guy. But if you are serious about going deeper in your faith, understanding the Bible in an accurate historical context, learning Catholic theology, appreciate explanations of how English translations evolved from Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, and if you want a pastor who is obedient and conforms to the guidelines from the Bishop, Magisterium, and the Pope - then this pastor will serve you well! He is an amazing confessor too... But really, just think about it this way - if the pastor was so terrible, why do they now have 5 masses each weekend and are on the verge of needing to add a 6th? Judge the tree by the fruit it bears.
