The American Martyrs Church

I had my son’s christening here. The service was very lovely. The chapel is beautiful. This is a nice Catholic Church.

My husband & I have been looking for a parish to become members of for the past couple of years & finally found what we were looking for when we visited American Martyrs. It is very friendly and has everything & more that I want out of my church. I am very happy to renew my faith with American Martyrs Church.

This is the church that I worship at if I am staying local on a Sunday.
It has a wonderful spirit to it. The pastor and priests are very nice and inspiring, Father Frank is the pastor. He is a fairly new priest and has quite a lot of enthusiasm. His homilies are very nice, not too long and not too short. Every Feast of St. Francis he blesses the animals in the neighborhood and has his own little doxie along for the blessing.
The organist is excellent. He really knows how to get every note out of his instrument and he’s not a bad singer either. They have some good cantors and a nice choir but it is not overdone like they do in some parishes.
If there was one flaw, it is that the congregants talk too much before the Mass starts. It’s hard to pray there!
Otherwise I think its a lovely parish. Also they are very ably assisted by Deacon Stan and Brother Dominic, a Franciscan friar.
If you go there often, people will recognize you and you can talk to them. They can be quite friendly once you get to know them. Like most Catholic church congregations, fellowship is not really the focus but like most Catholic congregations, regulars begin to recognize each other.
Also, they do have Bingo there.
They also have nice parties and special nights, a flea market around the holidays and other fun events.
