Do the parishioners know how bad this church is? Do any of them believe in the Catholic faith at all? Also, why is it so noisy in there? Edit: The noise is from the adult parishioners. They loudly talk before Mass.

I usually attend St. Peter's Mission in Suquamish on Saturday evenings, vut have also attended Mass at St. Olaf's. I am confused that you would question the faith of people who are attending Mass. If a service was noisy, perhaps it was because many parishioners bring their children. The Masses are no different than those I have attended in St. James Cathedral in Seattle and Catholic Churches in Arizona and New Orleans.

I attend regularly and I have for over 30 years when I moved here as a young man from South Dakota. We have a wonderful and loving parish. We care about each other. Please explain more about your negative experience, I'd like to understand.

I like the sound of children in church l am 70 years old there every Sunday each person must find there own comfort zone

What are your observations at St. Olaf Church? What have you seen? How often do you attend? Blatent negativity is often based on a single negative experience. Is that what occurred with you?
