St Gerard Majella Church

I went to school here and attended this parish most of my childhood. I have wonderful memories of this place, many Christmas programs, first holy communion, Sundays going to mass with my entire family and grandparents. Unfortunately recent events have prompted me to write this review.
My grandparents have been attending St. Gerard’s since the early 70s when my mom was in school there. Maybe even before then. My grandma was an active parishioner and helped out at the school. Rarely was a Sunday missed.
The last few years my grandpa has had cancer. Last Saturday we realized that his time was very near, and we all gathered around him to say our goodbyes. My grandma wanted a priest to come give him his final blessing. We called St. Gerard first. We left a message and there was no emergency line. We called a few other parishes that day and finally got a hold of a priest.
My grandfather passed Monday morning. Late that afternoon the office from St. Gerard called to return the message. My grandma had to tell them it was too late. Instead of offering condolences they basically told her they don’t answer messages on the weekends and that Saturday they were very busy with quinceañeras so they would not have come.
They would not have come to give the final blessing to their dying parishioner of over 40 years.
She will never be going back there again. Nice way to show your Christian Faith. Nice way to treat a grieving woman who has just lost her rock of almost 57 years. Shame on you St. Gerard Majella church.

I don’t go to this church, I’ve been at St. Mark for years, but I do come here yearly for their carnival. I love it! Fun rides, great food, and a good time. Great to bring the family to. Usually held one of the last weekends in June.
I also made my confirmation here. Our churches had merged for the special occasion and we happened to be here. The church is pretty inside and the parishioners are pretty friendly. I’d recommend.

Grew up in the area, went to catholic school here, been going to this place forever. It’s definitely changed. The school now is a charter school but the church is still around. The church isn’t your big cathedral church so if you want a smaller place to go to this is it. The mass times are your typical with weekday masses and 1 sat evening mass at 530 and reg sun masses in eng and spanish.

Been going to this church service since forever. I went to school here too…20+ Years going here!
