St. Vincent de Paul Parish - Albany (NY)

Beth Hall I went to school here in the early to mid 70s when it was St. Patricks. I remember prayer, morning mass, Father Tremblay and Sister Rita. There were many great sisters and lay teachers. Trips to pick apples, playing in the school yard, CYO on 1st Street run by Mrs. Hennessy. So many memories!❤️

Christina Hess This is a wonderful church that embodies the love of Christ in action! New Hope takes a family-centered approach when ministering to hearts and serving in the community. They are kind and loving people. Definitely recommend attending services on Sunday. There are lots of ways to give back and serve others. If you’re looking for your next home for you and your family, this is definitely the place! I’ve been here almost 5 years and it feels more like home every time I walk through the doors!

Rob D Beautiful sermons, beautiful church, fantastic chior, these guys go above and beyond to make new comers feel welcome. There is a real community within.

Debra Britt Welcoming people for special presentation of social justice issues.

Robert Willbrant Sermons are on point. The church is Filled with the holy Spirit and led by a God and the Bible. Great place to hear the truth

Panchita DeAlbany Honestly …do not think I have ever written a review on purpose. In fact do not really see myself as a person that addresses their thoughts in a public manner. In the craziness of the world, and the state of some people lives at this moment..those that are sick ..those that have lost their jobs .. those that have lost loved ones.. those that are struggling with mental illness..I have learned to PRAY..and…PRAY..and..PRAY .. I have learned to read scripture and even if I don’t always understand it. I learned to seek to understand.. my life has been soooo much easier… even when it was hard… I say all this to say.. EMPIRE CHRISTIAN CENTER… it’s Pastors .. Tre and Christina… it’s people that have dedicated their lives to growing in the word.. have guided me …inspired me.. and by choice I am grounded in HIM. This month is our prayer and fasting month every year we work through a workbook.. together we live through the word ..guided through this eloquently written and thoughtful workbook… and TOGETHER.. we rise not alone not separated.. not straying to our own agendas.. but TOGETHER.. Our Pastors and friends make this possible each year.. and we grow..individually because of it..this is what church is about..strong leaders that equip us to live strong lives .. and a congregation full of dedicated servants all growing in the word..10 plus stars ❤️

Jacqueline Gibbons Been going to this church for a few years now. I have never been a huge church goer but I love the message every week and love how open its members are.

Travis Connell The church experience was great! Coffee, snacks, and a fantastic energy! But what really got me was Kirsten from the kids side of the church. She was so welcoming and made my 2 year old feel so comfortable!! I can’t express how grateful I am for her. She was so kind and sweet while also being very cautious with the kids. Thank you Kirsten for making our first time there an amazing one.

Bernadene Love the thrift store! They have a lot of clothes, homeware and little nicknacks you need. You select what you want to buy and bring it to the staff at the cashiers. They’ll tell you the final price. Often items are not more than a couple of dollars. God bless them for their service.

Christine Harvey Yes the Greek festival here is amazing but dont forget - this is a church. The people at the church are warm, friendly, welcoming. Father Pat can connect with you on a level many priests just cant. He is a huge blessing to the church. The services are wonderful, great choir too. Its a place to connect with God and feel part of a great community -even if youre not Greek.
