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

Frances Peterson St. Agnes is your regular parish church with a lot of class. Its a multi-racial parish but they make you feel welcome. They blew us away on the feast of Our Lady of Fatima with a beautiful candlelit procession, volunteers carrying the statue on a flower. Be decked bier, gorgeous music provided by the sisters from the monastery of the trinitarians of Mary, gorgeous flower arrangements. Great preaching in Spanish and English though we noticed the Korean community was not present at that mass, and the most marvelously friendly community that came to welcome us after the mass. There is parking in the lot but you should get there early. Of course. One can take the bus or Uber as well. If you get there early, then you can find out how the parish works from the friendly members and learn how to get your bulletin, your seat, find the restroom, etc. Remember to receive Holy Communion at a Catholic church. You must go through the RCIA program for 9 months from September to June. One has to be formally received into the Catholic church in order to receive the sacraments. It is respectful to do so.

Petra Richard The anointing absolutely fell and I spoke in tongues for the first time (nobody knew or pressured me) it just fell on me during worship and I let the Holy Spirit move. It was beautiful as I left full of hope, not judged but loved. There is one pastor Ebeneezer that preaches longer sometimes on tangents but his messages aren’t bad, just more simple and motivational rather than some of the females are more bold.

Siberian91 Found God! Who knew. I thought i was going into a place to buy old Beanie Babys?

Angela Kelly After 41 years being a COGIC member, I finally visit the church home of our Former Bishop Charles Blake. This is a beautiful place in Inglewood California.

Savannah Aldridge I was looking for a church to visit while on vacation, and I was definitely enticed by the fact that the Enchantment Under the Sea dance from Back to the Future was filmed here. While at the church, I was welcomed kindly and got to participate in worship with a Christ-loving community. I was especially delighted that I had stumbled upon the day of the church picnic and was invited to stay. Through the picnic, I met some wonderful parishioners who really showed me God in a way I didnt expect when I went into church that day. The churchs history, theology, and values are listed on their website. (Reposted from my old account.)

Patricia F We attended the Taylor Swift Candlelight Quartet Show at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church. It was AMAZING!! Yes, it was at a church and the venue was beautifully lit with hundreds of candles. Needless to say, It was a spiritual experience. Wow!! I loved it so much I just booked another. Thank you for providing these.

Jen M Love this church everyone here is so friendly.

Pamela Matthews Fabulous Easter service! Ken’s sermon was clear and encouraging. The music was great and Christ focused. So wonderful to see so many beautiful children too!

Paula Steger We were so honored to be part of Bach to the Future with world renowned Dr Christoph Bull at the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles!

S Jason (Simchelin Guide) Absolutely fantastic experience of church from the sermon to the praise. They have guest speakers here once in a while whom are really great at speaking. The worship is like a live concert. Thats how great the praise team is. Pastor Alex is funny uses excellent rhetoric and has awesome sermons. This church has made me grow drastically in my spirituality. PTL. btw all are welcome. Im gay and Im happy with their stance. LGBT friendly is a plus.
