Our Lady Of Sorrows Church - White Plains (NY)

4 /5 C H: Ive been to this church on many occasions for family events such as Christenings, Communions, Confirmations and so on. Its a beautiful place. Its nice and bright. The parking is fantastic. The inside of the church is warm and comfortable. The priests give excellent sermons. They have senses of humor too. Ive grown accustomed to seeing many families here over the years. If youre moving into the area and you need a parish, I would highly recommend it. God has blessed this parish wonderfully. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

2 /5 Mary Brown: The church is very nice. However, there is a priest there (I believe he is Indian) whose sermons are the most boring to have to sit through. A homily should have some substance to it so that the parishioners can at least remember it and apply it to their daily lives throughout the week. The topics should pertain to all of us. However, Fathers topics are too far a field and for the most part, dont seem to make any impression, at least they dont on me. Tell him to watch the portion of the movie "Doubt" where the priest gives a sermon on GOSSIP. Now, thats they type of sermon that the congregation can relate to.

1 /5 bernard brown: Boring are sermons. No priest available on Saturday for confessions before Mass. May switch to another parish or not bother going to Mass.

1 /5 aaron santos: I am writing this review on behalf of my cousin who’s wedding rehearsal and wedding I attended 7 months ago. She is a devout young catholic, attends church every Sunday, and it was always her dream to get married in the catholic church. She is entirely too nice to make the truth public knowledge but after witnessing the disgraceful way she was disrespected by Tom Collins and how she was taken advantage of financially, I want to make the truth known so it doesn’t happen to any her bride. She also gave him ample opportunities to reimburse her and to apologize, but rather he continued to insult her via text message and knowing my cousin, she is EXTREMELY generous and got taken advantage of, ironically by a priest… Overall, disastrous experience. The officiant, Fr. Collins, was highly unprofessional. He consistently mispronounced the brides name during the ceremony and made inappropriate comments, adding to her nervousness. The whole event was a humiliating nightmare. They generously hosted him, but nothing went as planned. No card or courtesy shown. hE EVEN HAD THE AUDACITY TO SAY "STOP ASKING QUESTIONS." Can you imagine telling that to a person who is PAYING YOU BEFORE THEIR WEDDING. IS HE OUT OF HIS MIND? He made guests uncomfortable and lacked preparation. He ruined the brides emotional state before and after the wedding. Despite this, he attended the reception without any apology or compensation. Very disappointing. Hope he doesnt ruin others weddings. Avoid this officiant. My cousin, THE BRIDE, spent the entire night before her wedding and the morning of her wedding hysterically crying, anticipating a horrific ceremony, sermon, and ruined day, all because of what Tom had caused. She had cried every day since, overwhelmed with shame and humiliation, struggling to even get out of bed. The only reason she had gotten up was to apologize to her guests for the offensive remarks and complete disorganization, feeling responsible for Toms actions. She expected him to feel the same responsibility. Despite the lackluster sermon and the episode during the rehearsal, Tom had the audacity to attend the rehearsal dinner and reception, even bringing a date along. He had the opportunity to apologize and reimburse the couple for the damage he caused, but he chose not to. It was disheartening to see that he didnt take responsibility for his actions and offer some form of compensation. She sincerely hoped that Tom wouldnt ruin anyone elses wedding like he did to theirs. It had taken a lot of consideration to write and send this review, but I see how this has deeply impacted my cousin and her husband as they are trying to save up the funds to get remarried (as many couples do, they spent their life savings on this wedding… which Collins destroyed for them. My cousin wanted Tom to apologize, reimburse her, and understand how his abrasive behavior impacted others in future engagements. Couples invest their life savings to create cherished memories, and his actions should not be taken lightly. She requested full reimbursement, at the very minimum but he continuously ignored her request time and time again. Not only did he not apologize to her, but he sent back a message continuing to insult her. He didn’t even know how to say her name? What gives him the right to judge others? Anyway, please pray for my cousin as she gets remarried this year. She is trying to not let it impact her, but every single day has had a tough time as she continues to recover, save money to get remarried, and find other vendors.
