Amazing little church. Great one man band. Great message. We cant wait to join them again for mass. I Have never been in a church with log benches and pews; it was very neat.

If you are a faithful Catholic, then find another Mass to attend. Drive further if you have to. This parish is run by a liberal, modernist, “pantsuit” nun who opposes Catholic Church teaching and looks forward to the day when women can become priests (which will never happen). The day I attended mass here while on vacation, she had invited a visiting priest to say Mass, but he too was a liberal modernist who opposed Church Teaching. This was easily the most scandalous, effeminate, and faithless liturgy I have experienced in over 5 years. For those who may not know the Catholic Faith, here are a few things (of many) that need to change here immediately: 1. Everyone but the Priest should KNEEL during and after the consecration, at a bare minimum. No kneelers? STILL KNEEL. Jesus is truly present, body, blood, soul, and divinity, in the Eucharist. Kneel before God. 2. Upon entering a Church, one should remain QUIET. You have entered a sacred place, not a bar. If you came to Mass to find out where people are visiting from, to chat with your friends, or to meet your pew neighbors, then you came to Mass for the wrong reason. Mass is worship of GOD. Take your chatter outside. While inside the Church, your focus should be on Jesus and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. If you feel the need to talk, then talk to God. That is called prayer. 3. No one, under any circumstances, should clap or applaud during a Mass. “Wherever applause breaks out in the liturgy because of some human achievement, it is a sure sign that the essence of liturgy has totally disappeared and been replaced by a kind of religious entertainment.” - Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (before he was Pope Benedict XVI). You don’t clap for the Priest. You don’t clap for the musicians. You don’t clap for the service or achievements of a nun. Mass is not a show. You don’t clap, period, while at Mass. Mass is worship of GOD, and only He should be receiving praise and honor. 4. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has been found multiple times (including now) to be a dues-paying member of organizations that promote the spread of intrinsic evils like contraception and abortion. No Catholic should give even a single cent to CRS. And priests and nuns should be looking to correct these organizations, not promote them. On a personal note, I am a convert to The Catholic Church from Atheism. And it was effeminate Priests, feminist Nuns, liberal Catholics, modernist Churches, and other scandals in the Church which were hurdles to my coming into the Church. I strongly suggest that faithful Catholics either demand change at this parish, or go somewhere else.
