    Beautiful and welcoming church, I'm a parishioner of Holy Cross, but enjoyed Resurrection's 6pm…read moreMass. Hope it comes back soon.

    I have to admit, I was skeptical to go back here recently. My first experience here was terrible…read more My best friend and I went to a Sunday morning mass here back in 2009 or 2010 when our families were camping at Seacliff State Beach. We wanted to go to mass, but were unprepared since we hadn't planned to, so we only had "beach clothes," shorts and t-shirts. I felt bad, but was always told not to let anything keep you in the way of you and Jesus. After all, John the Baptist wore rags and other great Biblical figures never had nice clothes. And the church is just half a mile from the beach, so I figured they would be more relaxed and understanding. However, when we went we felt completely uncomfortable. Everyone was really dressed up and gave us dirty looks in our shorts and t-shirts. They had greeters, but nobody even greeted us or talked to us. Everyone seemed to know everyone, but not a single person talked to us or made us feel welcome. I've been to many masses at many Catholic churches all over the country and that was honestly the most unwelcome I have EVER felt in a church. Recently, when my family was staying on Seacliff Beach again I decided to give it a second shot since I wanted a Sunday mass. This time, I made sure to wear long pants and went by myself. This time, was a lot better. I was greeted and talked to several times. The priest was great and the whole church seemed like it had a nice parish community. There were a lot of high schoolers involved in the mass, which was great and the homily was very down-to-earth. Totally different experience. The people still seemed a little stuck up and exclusive, obviously everyone knows everybody, and being by myself I definitely felt like an outsider. But there were several older ladies who were really sweet and talked to me, which made it better. Overall, from my two experiences here, Resurrection is a beautiful church in a beautiful location. The parishioners could definitely work on being more welcoming and inclusive. After all, the church is GOD'S HOUSE for ALL PEOPLE, regardless of how they're dressed or how they look. Maybe next time I'm in Aptos on a Sunday, I will try again and hopefully this will have changed.
