St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church - Los Angeles (CA)

Conner Evans This is the first church I really got plugged into since moving away from home for college. Im now a part of this church on a level that I didnt expect from any church. I feel like the community at this church are like family. I love that we always have free lunch on Sundays because it lets me hang out with such great people and talk about anything from God to random memes. I think that it is 100% worth your time! Edited to update review: Its been over 5 years since I wrote my last review and I am deeply grateful for all of the experiences I have had with this church family. The people and rhythms have changed a lot over the years, but I think that is to be expected in a church that is pursuing God in such a transient city. Committing to be a part of this community has been a joy. They draw me deeper into relationship with God and tangibly reflect the love that he has for me. All that to say, you should definitely check it out and see if it is the community that God wants you to meet you in. Worst case scenario, we still provide free lunches every Sunday! (which is actually extra awesome because it allows us to get to know you!)

Kai Pottenger New Story is the real deal when it comes to partnership with other ministries and serving God joyfully. The congregation and staff at New Story are incredible people who are willing to go the extra mile to help. We hosted a ministry fundraising event for Cru, a college ministry, here about a week ago. They helped coordinate the facilities, audio/visual, and everything we needed to make the event go smoothly. After the event, we needed some extra help cleaning up and getting things back to how they were. At 10:30 at night Pastor Blake was still working hard to help us out after being there for hours and then two of the young adults who had finished up a missions meeting came and helped us clean up. I felt so cared for and served. It was a sweet picture of the body of Christ coming around each other.

Jason Brubaker Thrive offers a very open, caring and welcome atmosphere. If youre looking for a place to connect and thrive, I recommend checking out one of the services.

D N Beautiful Church I was very greatful for the help that Father gave me with anointing of the sick..

Andreas Aristidou This Greek Orthodox Cathedral does not get 5 stars because Im Greek. Not at all. It is indeed a place that exceeds your expectations of a cathedral. The church itself is really spacious and super beautiful inside. The Easter ceremony there is magnificent and you might catch a glimpse of Tom Hanks sometimes. There is ample room for parking which transforms into a great space for events which they organize often there, with live music, dancing and food. I have had many incredible days there. Check out my pictures for both events and church ceremonies.

Bulldogg Steven As a young Hispanic male full of tattooed i have been to many churches, but none like this one. Everyone is so welcoming, I love how diverse the church is. The kindness and acceptance is genuine .. there are so many different ppl, from so many walks of life. Just overall amazing. God is Great.

Jenny Perea Open from the side during the week. Very calm clean and nice Catholic Church

Justin Kwan Visited our friend Pastor Phyllis and really like the family feel with the couches. The kids stayed in service this week. They are intentional with group discussion and I appreciate that as someone who promotes active learning. All the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Very diverse.

Hans Luna I visited the Blessed Sacrament Hollywood with my better half for Sunday Mass. Its in a convenient spot right in the heart of Hollywood, which made it easy to get to and there is ample parking. The staff—especially Martha, Samantha, and Janine—were friendly, engaging, and accommodating, which helped us feel at ease and welcomed. Father Paul gave a sincere, well-thought-out sermon that seemed to really connect with the parishioners. It was relatable and heartfelt. Their website is simple to navigate, and they keep their Instagram pretty active, which is nice if you want to stay updated. Its a great place to deepen your faith with a grounded, approachable community. We will definitely be part of the parish.

Sophia Colmenero Blessed to be part of Hopeland Church and to be part of Gods family. Pastor Shawn and pastor CG are one of a kind. Big hearted, Humble, loving and obedient to the holy spirit!!!
