Small mission style Church with a very nice community and caring Pastors. If you like Latin Mass and are looking for a place in the IE where to attend, this is your place!Although not required, some women wear veils during Mass.
What a TREASURE in a middle of nowhere!!! Even more blessed is that the parish priest gives great homilies and actually teaches true Catechism and protocols! The Holy Mass exudes the presence of God, and the church itself is so beautiful!!! A true place of worship where the church is respected as a HOLY ground -- people actually talk outside the church and silence is maintain to respect the presence of God.
Our experience with this company was wonderful. Our dryer was not working and we thought our only option was to purchase a new machine. Thank goodness Arrowhead Repair saw the problem. Our dryer is working once again. I recommend this company.
I love this church. It is a catholic church I grew up in. Father Francis is awesome.
We, my wife and I, began coming to San Secundo dAsti about the same time as did Pastor, Rev. Fr. Marx. To all who knew him he was a saint. Rev. Stanley, our new Pastor and long time assistance to Fr Marx has worked very hard to carry on the traditions, policiesPractices of our blessed Pastor Marx. This, in extremely hard times! Keep our Pastor in you prayers.
I went to a service there 6 Ft social distancing was in place the cathedral was beautiful it reminded me of the Bible back in BC. It had a safe feeling. They had ABHR before and after entering. They passed communion however there was no drinking from the cup . All I cn say is beautiful !!
My family has been going to this parish since 2003 if I remember correctly. We love the reverence at this parish! People dress modestly, genuflect, pay attention at mass and are generally pretty friendly. We also love the family atmosphere here, there are many large families and you will be sure to see a baby at almost every mass. I once heard a saying, a church with no children is a church that is dying, so this church is definitely alive and thriving! The neat thing about this church is that all of the parishioners come from other cities. The only member who lives in the city is the pastor Father Stanley (use to be Father Marx).If you need or want confession to be available ALL THE TIME, then this is the parish for you. They have confession available daily. This parish also has a lovely Latin mas . The first time or two going might be a little confusing, but if you stick with it their is so much depth and richness in our faith in the Latin mass. Extra beautiful prayers.
Awesome experience. The Sacraments are very respected, especially the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and daily Confession. Hearts have been changed and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ only knows of how many conversions have happened. May God have mercy on the soul of Fr. Louis Marx, and may he intercede for all of us in prayer.
I recently had a chance to attend the fall festival here and was so impressed with the event: great vendors, K of C guys flipping burgers like mad, and even a free book table! The last time I went to Mass here I was in college, and while I dearly love the traditional Latin mass in any case, I was deeply gratified to find the community as a whole just as warm and welcoming as I had remembered.
First time I enjoy a celebration in this church and I love it. Was my first mass traditional. I never expected. I go to regular church. God let me live this beautiful moment. Blessings to all
So disappointed. I attended a funeral there recently. Priest spent most of the time scolding people for not being good Catholics.The two sentences he gave about the deceased were incorrect.
This is an ideal parish. Its one of the few Roman Catholic parishes that didnt change too much after Vatican II: no guitar-and-drums Mass, ad orientam, no clapping during Mass, people wear their Sunday best, the homilies are meaningful, only the priests administer the Eucharist, the tabernacle is kept front and centre, many of the women veil, there are many confessions throughout the week (including before Mass), and they offer Latin Mass in addition to English. The architecture is phenomenal, and you can feel the strong presence of God inside. Sure, the priests and the dress code can be strict at times. But its all out of reverence and keeps us focused on what really matters.
My wife and I went to mass there when we were there for a work conference two weeks ago. We really enjoyed it. Es6the way the mass was said. Beautiful old church.
It has an ancient feel when youre inside. I felt as if I went back on time including the Latin Mass. A wonderful, spiritual and peaceful feeling.
Beautiful and peaceful place of silence, prayer, praise and worship. Wherever Jesus is, especially in the Holy Eucharist & in our hearts is where I want to be :).
Wonderful place for worship. Masses are beatufilly said.
This church is home away from home.I love going to mass here. I wish all the parishes were like this one. I love the reverence shown towards our Lord in the blessed sacrament.
Love this place. Always a great experience morning mass hear, it feels secluded enough to he caught in deep prayer. The priests are always been kind and practical advise during their homilies and my fav. spot for confession aka free spiritual therapy. Truly grateful for this gem.
Very peaceful and Holy place. I love that they have daily mass twice in the morning with Confessions everyday half hour before Mass. I miss working close by and making daily visits with Jesus during my lunch hour.
They talk about the word. Many churches other than catholic these days seem to say the things out of the bible that people want to hear such as how much god can do for them. San Secondo church is a nice church where our priests are kind and dont try to bait you up so you will give them a bunch of your hard earned money. In other words its a real church that worships our creator above all else.
Its a wonderful church
Gods presence and much solemnity felt here
I feel like I went back in time. It feels authentic, this is one of churches I love to go to.
Pastor Fr. Stanley is a fine priest and our congregation is blessed to have him and all the priests at our beautiful reverent church.
Great Holy Saturday / Easter Vigil Mass. Friendly and welcoming parishioners, beautiful traditional service with warm heartfelt homily relevant to everyday life. Highly recommend and will be going again.
Beautiful just amazing ..How Mass should be
Most beautiful church and such peacefulness. Instantly upon arriving most wonderful atmosphere.
Masses are traditional and reverent. The people are friendly.
I didnt know you where cursed if you have hate or unforgiven in your heart and take the sacrament.
Keeps the Catholic Churchs old traditions. How it should be. I love the fact it is not modern.
I love this church!!!....i highly recomend it...get your soul ready for eternal life!!!...keep n mind this life is only temporary
Vibrant parish, offers Mass in both the ordinary form ad orientem and extraordinary form.
Mission style church in Ontario Ca. Hidden gem.
Traditional Latin Mass. Daily Confession.
Very HOLY conservative Parish. Holy priestsA great experience for enrichment and spiritual development
Beautiful church with Italian architecture and a spot to experience the Latin Mass at 10:45 every Sunday.
Its one of the mission churches in CA. Women attending mass are wearing veil even little girls! Men are wearing suit. The holy was in Latin English. Very solemn.
Love the respect and reverence that is given to your Lord
It has a beautiful Latin Mass. The church its is a beautiful Spanish Style setting
A beautiful parish with beautiful parishioners.
Love this church. Father Marx,Father Francis and Father Stanley are wonderful. Father Francis always has something wonderful to teach us. Father Marx leads NY example. Lovely parish old school Catholic. Love it.
First time Oct 2018...I have been blessed to find this church. Holiest Catholic Church I have ever know...BEAUTIFUL!!... AMAZING BEAUTIFUL!!!
Best Mass, both English and Latin
I love this old style vintage Catholic church that is still free from the touch of the spirit of V2. The Norberteens do an amazing job. I commute 30 minute just for it. JMJ
A little bit of heaven on earth!
Very small church. Historic site or at least should be because it reflects how things used to be way back then. Worth checking out.
Beautiful. Must visit!
I have been blessed to find this church. My family and I have been attending here for about a year. We greatly miss Father Mark he always made time for confessions. I just wished they served Spanish mass here.
Its a great parish!
Beautiful quaint small church. My first visit.
Fr. Marx is one of my favorite priests of all time. He is so humble, reverent, and holy; like a good father, hes so tenderly concerned with each and every soul in his care. Dearheart! And Fr. Francis, the Norbertine, is awesome, too! I love this little church and decent parishioners who know how to dress for Mass and be reverent in the House of the Lord.
We baptized our godson here and it was a very positive experience. Father made sure we knew the 10 reasons for baptizing and ensured you truly knew why, not wanting us to read from our notes but knowing why. Truly a traditional, lovely church and experience.
Old mission style church built in 1926, small but very nice.
If you are looking for traditional Carholic mass this is my church to go.
I fill like I M in heven .
A beautiful traditional church. Its maintained its original charm. I feel like Im stepping into a different era when visiting.
Such a beautiful mass. Love it.
A different Catholic Mass experience. Nice use of Latin and love receiving while kneeling at the altar. Its a mix of the old and the new. Lots of devotionals before and after Mass.
So beautiful. Welcoming parishioners
The church is lovely. The priest is very difficult to understand. I attend mass to hear the sermon but The priest doesnt seem prepared and his words are garbled. I love kids but there was no way I could concentrate cause the kids were crying and making noises. I wish the usherers will do their job. People were actually leaving while the priest was talking. Its awful. Its not a place to attend mass. Only for short prayers really.
Love worshipping God and feeling His Omnipotence and Majesty during Masses said at San Secondo dAsti Catholic Church... I know my God is truly present in the Holy Eucharist just by the way the priest and parishioners respect and are in awe of God allowing them the Privilege to be in His presence at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!
You can feel the peacefulness every time. It is always a great experience coming to this beautiful church.
God bless Father Marx and all the wonderful priests who come from various parishes so that we can attend the Mass that we once knew and loved. Kneeling at the altar rail to receive the Eucharist...what a wonderful and humbling experience.
Love this church spirituality this is how every church should be.Havin the announcements at the beginning of the mass no at the end.
Beautiful church, amazing congregation!
The focus is always negative in all the years we have been attending we have never felt inspired. We do give it a five star as far the the building is concerned. My children have been requesting to attend a protestant church because they feel so strongly about how unfufilling the services are. We will not leave the catholic church so our journey begins in finding a more inspirational church.
I love it there
San Secondo dAsti is conservative Catholic Church. It is not a Pius the 10th Church. It is in conjunction with Rome.
I love ceremony of baptized.And the meaning and the history of San Secondo Church. Father Francis was awesome.
This is a TRADITIONAL Holy Catholic Church. Wear your Sunday best! It is a small Vineyard Church. I have been attending it since 1999.
We got married here, lovely all around
I prayed and asked God to lead us to a Traditional Church where the Truth was not hidden but spoken openly for the sake of Love! HE LEAD US HERE! God is so amazing for leading us to this beautiful Church!! I am so grateful for the priests and their loving hearts! They are amazing shepards who look out for the good of your soul! So blessed to have had the opportunity to come here even though its an hour away, we drive here every week to attend the Latin Mass and the 5pm Novus Ordo! I always feel challenged to do better and inspired to seek holiness. I especially love the prayers we do as a parish community! Truly feel connected as a family.UPDATE: after attending this beautiful Church for over a year now, San Secundos amazingly HOLY pastor has passed away...I say this with a heavy heart. May Father Marx rest in peace!
Devil hates the place, no-doubt. Thats why I like it.
Very good Im enjoyed
Easter Mass 8pm thank u
I love my church.
It really feels like a sacred place
Very traditional church
I love this place because i feel the presence of Christ and thats where my heart is.
Holiest church in the inland empire. Sermons hit hard and to the core if the problems in society. Confessional advice is insightful and helpful. The priests here are future saints. If any Catholic is lost ir confused by all the problems in the Church and seeking truth, it is here at Guasti.
I love this church with all my heart, very holy.
Great place to Adore God!
This is a church that doesnt filter or sugar coat anything for the sake of truth according to what Jesus proclaimed, but especially out of love. This beautiful house of God has helped strengthen me in my journey as a catholic, and one you attend one mass, it is very difficult to want to attend mass another Parish as it is the only one in the diocese of San Bernardino that is proud to be Authentically Catholic. Ad Orientem (Facing God), kneeling and receiving holy communion on the tongue, latin chant and traditional hymms instead of noisy guitar music, and all-out respect for the Lord from the priests and those who attend mass. Love it so much. :)
A very traditional church, come see for yourself.
Truly a pleasant and calming place to experience Gods love and mercy the gospel resides in the walls of this church good priests cant go wrong here receiving the Eucharist by the mouth only kneeling great tradition kept here!!!
The best
Wonderful REAL Roman Catholic mass!!! I havent felt a sense of reverance for the Blessed Sacrament like this in years!!! More importantly you feel like you are right with God worshiping Him in awe......not rockin out with the cool Jesus dude!!! People are gonna be amazed when they see the second person of the Trinity in the flesh. ......or on my knees will I fall? Will I shout Halleluia? Will I be able to speak at all? Before Him?!?!? Chances are good awe will be the feeling of the moment and this church promotes that which is REAL ORIGINAL CHRISTIAN teaching.....you WONT be let down going here.
I visit every year in February. I love attending Mass here.
A beautiful place
Call me old fashion but i feel so comfortable and leave with a blesse feeling.
Just on the other side of the veil. VERY special church....
Most reverant parish youll find in the diocese.
Reverence for the Mass is evident. I come to be renewed. Peace.
