This church is very beautiful, my wife (May she rest in peace) and l liked it very much. We enjoyed Father Marios sermons, may he rest in peace.One day when l was saying the rosary, l said Father l saw the Virgin Mary right here in front of me. I showed the exact spot (place) where l was kneeling and praying the rosary. (The 1st pew on the left side and l remember very clear.) Father Mario said said that l had just experienced a vision ofThe Virgin Mary.

This church is very beautiful, I came here for a wedding and I must say, I love old building and this churchs architecture is beautiful. The inside is very nice and I loved some of the detail in the interior. I would have given this 5 stars, But the parking situation is horrible. The church itself has a sorry excuse of a parking lot that its laughable. Other then that it was a joy to visit and view.

My husband and myself got married 13 years ago while he was active duty by a Justice of the Peace in Colorado. We have both been baptized, had communion and confirmed by the Catholic Church. We are practicing and members or a local church. Our daughter is also active as a youth member. I called this parish on Monday to renew our vows. I was told by the receptionist that the Priest refused to renew our vows because we weren’t married in the church. It’s very difficult when you’re active duty to be part of a church, attend classes, etc. the job comes first. Being judged by a receptionist and denied by a Priest for a renewal and offered no other options is disgraceful. Not very “Christian” if you ask me. Doesn’t make us feel very welcome in our religion. The 1 star rating is truly applicable in this case.

I love how they have daily confession from 10a-11:45a, with Adoration and Mass to follow. Beautiful, traditional church depicting lots of saints and gothic style architecture.

Absolutely beautiful church, and an historic site as well. Regardless of beliefs you should stop in and see this church. There is a lady in the back who has a little cash only store with some rosaries and religious items, and the priest getting ready for mass blessed my scapular for me.

One of the historic painted churches of Texas, its parishioners, mostly German immigrants, saved it from being sold during the development of the River Walk Mall. The beautiful glass windows came from Germany, and the Stations of the Cross were painted by its first priest. The San Antonio Liederkranz German choir, sings every 4th Sunday at 11am, except in July August, & December. Love the services, and you can feel a real presence here.

I was there earlier today as a tourist...looked at some of the items and was in awe of the architecture. I saw some of the items listed for sale and asked a few questions about them. My group and I then proceeded to leave and were followed out of the door by an older gentleman that accused me a stealing a wooden block that costs $3. This is unacceptable and I went back in to let the older lady who sent him after me know how I felt. As a black man, I have to face this regularly but should not be treated like this at a place of God. There needs to be some discussion about this among the staff and how people are treated. I know the Catholic Church has lots of problems but racism should not be one of them, if you call yourselves Christians!!!!
