I summarily reject all criticism of this wonderful Church. Any Yelpers who complain about the entertainment factor here are way off base. St. Monica's has managed to take what could be a boring,...

I've been to St. Monica's many times and came to mass there or in South Pasadena when I lived in California.Masses are lively and often challenging. The priests are sincere and try to put together a...

I'm not Catholic but I went to the church for my friend's wedding. It was pretty entertaining for a traditional Catholic ceremony. The priest was really funny and joked around with the bride and...

My home parish for over 17 years so I'm biased, but it's just an awsome welcoming and supportive community! I feel home there! I encourage everyone to try it out - especially 5:30pm liturgy on Sunday!

I agree with Monsignor Lloyd, "this is _not_ the way to do a mass." They mean well, but St. Monica's might be the victim of its own success. First, let me say that I commend St. Monica's for the...

This is my husbands parish. I actually like the place well enough. Very welcoming of anyone who is different - be it, religion, or sexual preference, nationality, and so forth. Very nice people....

I've only been to the evening liturgies, as I'm not a big fan of getting my lazy ass out of bed early on a Sunday morning. They have both a Sat. and Sun. 5:30pm mass. The Sunday evening mass is...

My first catholic wedding. I was expecting something overly religious and somber, but I actually enjoyed the ceremony here. The priest guy (whatever they're called) was a hoot, and kept things...

This place is a must for Easter mass services. It is a very progressive church; they openly accept gays, lesbians, divorced parents, etc. The church is beautiful! It's actually painted in colors and...

Yes, an atheist giving a good review to a church. Unheard of yes. But the few services I've gone to here, I've really enjoyed. It's always full of life, and never feels empty, and its the only place i...

I'm not religious, but was raised Catholic. Recently my wife brought (read 'dragged') me to the 9:30 Sunday service at St. Monica's. WHOA, this isn't your father's mass! A gospel choir (well a...

I'm not a very good Catholic, but when I try to go to mass, I prefer St. Monica's over other churches. Every mass I've gone to has been full of energy, and I find that I actually pay attention. ALL...

I am not Catholic- I am not unfriendly to the church but I have never been a fan of organized worshiping. But my girlfriend is, and I respect her and want her to be happy. So we decided to visit this...
