St Mariana De Paredes Church

What can I really say about this church? It’s beautiful. FR. Anthony is amazing and the mass is beautiful. I love coming here on sundays. I feel at peace everything I go to mass.

I was raised at St. Mariana de Paredes Church. When my family passed away, I went back. It was like going home. The Church basicallly looks the same as it did when I was a child and that’s comforting. The people are nice and Father Larry and Father David are kind and loving. Masses are in English and Spanish so there’s something for everyone.

Went to a Baptism past weekend & I have nothing but fondness for this church. I am seriously considering driving a little out of area to go to this church.
I also have history with both my girls fully grown they got baptized here, did their first communion here and confirmations. It was a most pleasant experience.
Being a little bit smaller than the other churches I’ve been to, in this area I love this church the best. Services are good, priests are great, full of warmth, wisdom, witty sense of humor and never get bored (at least I don’t here… sorry I had to admit that, and really one shouldn’t get bored, but forgive me, I’m only human).
Parking during certain events and holidays can be challenging, but your surrounded by residential, so you can park outside the church and still won’t be a long distance walk. However try to watch out for the houses located on Burke St., closest to the church, they are almost all or mostly older residents who frown on the congestion & monopolized parking situation, especially in front of their houses, so they tend to run the sprinklers on full blast and thus wetting your newly washed vehicles.

Very beautiful church we found in our area. Catholic church. We attended morning mass at 945am. We didnt expect to see a mariachi band singing praise to the almighty but there they were.
At first it was good, but then during the mass, it did get kind of loud.
All in all, a very nice mass. The priest was very clear.

Verry nice church not a long mass! people are nice parking is good, they have a great mariachi for the music needed in church,

I may be a born-​again Atheist but I love church. I have nothing but positive things to say about this church. In this review update I want to note that on some Sundays the parking can be difficult but on a positive note they have a swap meet out back and they sell tamales and Atole (warm chocolate drink) from 8am to 8pm.
The Priest are very friendly, sociable and keep the service entertaining. The church has 20 foot long cherry wood benches with comfy vinyl padded kneeling pads tucked away in back of each bench. Several statues of Jesus, Mary and a few Saints, glass portraits on the top windows adorn the sides of the church and an alter so clean and adorned makes this church beautiful. On the outside you have more statues, trees, grass, bushes and areas where you can talk, relax, take pictures or wait for people.
Celebrations here are amazing and yet humble. Today, I want to dedicate this review update to all the kids who did their first communion. I hope they could enjoy this moment for life.
So I wrote a song parody of Nicki Minaj’s 2011 hit song «Moment 4 Life»
I see all the stars in your eyes
Good deeds are what help us survive
I believe that love is the prize
Because the spirit is a sign you are alive
You keep the fervent, spirit and fire
Love is desire, catholic empire
And you will be heard like a church choir
Sprinkle holy water, on evil vampire
At this very moment we sing
At this very moment we rejoice at the end of Spring
In this very moment we bring, put it on everything
That your style has more flavor than a wing
And you will be wearing a special crown, yes
And you are lucky but blessed, yes
Party for the communion kid thee
But you did not do it all alone we
Your parents raised thee, church never hazy
In Pico Rivera where the people never lazy
South to the Catholics thought religion never change me
Shout to the Christians, though I practice no Christianity
Ain’t being mocky just articulated
Best believe that what they done this moment is like syndicated
I don’t know, communions remind me of
All the church I deprived me of
Put your bread and your wine up
It’s a celebration every time they church up
They done read every verse we could think of
First communion is what they on the brink of
I wish that you could have communion
For life, for life, for life
Cause in this moment we all feel so
Alive, alive, alive
I wish that you could have communion
For life, for life, for life
Cause in this moment we all feel so
Alive, alive, alive
When I tell them to bow bow bow to G
Pray down on your knees
Tithe money, so mafia like but I will appease
I will be angelican spending up some cheese
Doing tithing practice
Like balling church goers just aiming to please
Shout out to the big Pope up in Italy
Shout out to the local churches that are feelin me
I wanna be friends, how coincidental
This is your communion day and I got the memo
A young kid, getting gifts from the old
And the food at home, never getting old
These young catholic kids dropping verse they ain’t even cold
Bibles on top of that even if they home
Yes, never afraid
Other churches getting boring, emptied away
These kids here excited, communion today
And anybody that is hating, well, that is okay
You are a star in my eyes
Whether you are 90 years old or just turned 5
Are we praising a little more, got the feeling inside
It is over so soon, I am hardly surpised
I swear, dang, this is more than the good book
Man, I swear this is fun as it look
Man, I am really telling you how much fun it is
Cause everybody dies but not everybody lives
I wish that you could have communion
For life, for life, for life
Cause in this moment we all feel so
Alive, alive, alive
I wish that you could have communion
For life, for life, for life
Cause in this moment we all feel so
Alive, alive, alive
This is your moment
You waited for a while,
I can tell that it is time
Drifting away, I am
One with the spirits
That have become alive
I wish that you could have communion
For life, for life, for life
Cause in this moment we all feel so
Alive, alive, alive
I wish that you could have communion
For life, for life, for life
Cause in this moment we all feel so
Alive, alive, alive
