St Anne’s Catholic Church

I am not one to review religious sites, because they would all get the same score in my opinion. There is no reason to Unilocal one religious site being better than the other, they are all places of worship and finding peace within oneself.
The reason why I wanted to put St Anne’s Catholic Church on the radar is because it might become useful for people who are looking for a place to do their confessions. They have Monday-​Friday (and some Saturday and Sunday) confessions from 8:30AM — 8:50AM. Although it is a small time frame, it is the urgent care of confessional places because it offers it 5 times a week. I have come here on some days to do confessions when my local parish has a time frame that I can not make it to.
The church is quaint and small with stained windows that are simple. It really is an adorable church and is in all ways «cute». It is small and in all ways a good place to relax and reflect.

Beautiful church and they get one extra star for daily confessions at 8:30 each morning. That is very convenient, as is the daily mass at 9 am.

If Martha Stewart is Catholic — she’d approve of the décor. It’s got stained glass windows — but not the gaudy, garish or intimidating type. It’s simple, sweet and so VERY unassuming. The services are simple and not TOO overly ritualistic. The congregation is friendly enough — and not over the top in trying to hook you in. I’d go regularly if I were Catholic!

Yep! I am reviewing a church and funny thing is you are reading a review of a church. Who is the idiot now?
When I lived in Huntington Beach and Newport Beach I would drive to Seal Beach to go to mass at St. Anne’s. I found this church from an ex that attended here and I was hooked. I am not a religious person but it seemed to put everything in perspective for me as though the mass was written for me.
Father Mike… What a great guy. He is a rotund man with a heavy Irish accent. His masses were the best. He would talk about his trips to Ireland and I remember him talking about a girl in a short skirt on a ladder (not sure where that came from). He was funny. It was almost like improv. He did cover the religious aspect but he was always on some tangent and everyone would be laughing though out the mass.
The great thing was you would be walking along the sidewalk (strand) on random days and you would see Father Mike riding his bike in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt and you would yell «HI FATHER MIKE» and he would smile real big, wave and say hello.
All the people at that church was so nice.
