1 /5 Diana Walle: Besides the fact that it is a beautiful church, I cant overlook the rudeness the volunteers and workers present. I normally go to Holy Apostles since I live closer to that one but I have gone to this one several times when I cant make it to church there. On one occasion during Spanish mass, I had to go to the bathroom during the explanation the priest gives. Now, as I tried to open the door and enter after using the restroom, one of the volunteers stopped me from opening the door any farther. She said, with a tone, that no one was aloud to enter while he gave the explanation. I apologized and explained that I wasnt aware of the rule but that I would like to go in and listen to the explanation. She said that Father had made that new rule and no one was an exemption. I had to wait there, feeling slightly embarrassed for being talked to like a child, until the explanation was over. When going to the little gift shop of sorts that they have with my mother, one lady went to go look for something to help answer my mothers question. While doing so, a different lady that showed up and asked my mother if she needed help. My mother then explained that she was already being helped by the nun. The lady kept asking what it was she needed help with. When my mom finally told her, the nun came back with information. As she started to speak, the second lady interrupted her and said she would give her a website so my mother could find it herself since what she was asking for was too specific. Another thing I notice is that in Spanish mass, they force the congregation to fill up the seats in the center before sitting anywhere else. Even if they were sitting in the sides. And this is at the beginning of mass while everyone is watching. Putting people in the spot like that is just a lack of respect. I also notice that they only do this and the volunteer monitoring the doors during Spanish mass and not English mass. Which strikes me as very peculiar.
