St Kieran’s Catholic Church

Love the church and the community! Father Ben is a great priest that knows how to approach everybody…

To Mike Y.,
I believe you a good person wanting to do well for others. Clearly you care for «the least of these,» even strangers; at is very Christian of you and I commend that. About illegal immigration, first, it hurts the one immigrating. Dangerous, treacherous, sometimes violent. In East County San Diego (Campo area) people have died of heat exhaustion and dehydration. Included dangers are families used to bring in drugs across the border; if unable to bear the burden they’re killed in the process. Many other examples can be found by a simple web search. Like it’s stance on abortion, with regards to illegal immigration, human life is paramount to the Catholic Church. Everyone knows the acronym «WWJD.» Too easily it is used to point out flaws in someone’s thinking, and too easily do we press the «Enter» button before we think through the post. I think you may have heard something in a homily that peaked your interest. I suggest you take it up with the priest who gave the homily verses posting a negative comment on Unilocal,especially when these comments may be the only thing a prospective parishioner sees about St. Kieran’s. Note that I am not even a parishioner there but I felt it ridiculous that for TWO YEARS your comment went unchallenged. In the age of social media, that’s not a good advertisement. All I know of St. Kieran’s is that it is a beautiful place with beautiful people and in fact I Was searching about it because my fiancé and I may have our wedding reception there since the event hall at our Parish isn’t looking to great currently. St. Kieran, pray for us.

Father Ben is a true Catholic and not afraid to state what needs to be said. He uses humor, personal anecdotes and compassion in his homily. Deacon Frank is an exceptional speaker. You cannot leave his homily without a lot of food for thought.
Unlike some Catholic churches in «name only», this church is proud to be a pro-​life, pro-​family, pro-​Jesus, and pro-​LEGAL immigration.
The choir continues to get better and better, and the children’s choir is beautiful, as is the more contemporary teen counterpart.
The church is simple, homey, not overly adorned, and the parishioners are very devout. The church is always full!
I recommend getting there early if you are going to the 10:00 am Mass.
