5 /5 Mireya Rodriguez: Ive been living in Merced over 4 years now and this has been my church. My 2 older kids went to CCD here and the program was wonderful! My 2nd to youngest will be attending this year. The sound system is much better now and the restrooms are clean and large. Everyone in the congregation is friendly and they always have fun things for the kids on holidays like a Easter egg hunt sometimes a BBQ. I really enjoy the statues and the flowers around the church, they are so beautiful and make for beautiful pictures with your family when doing a communion or a special event. They do have a hall and a parish office. Very clean and inviting church. It does get packed on holidays. So I suggest coming a bit early if you want a seat. Today was the blessing of the children on Sunday 4/24/2022 it was so touching watching them all gather around the priest as he playfully sprinkled them with holy water. I wish my children were with me today for that. But I said a prayer for them.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next. Amen
