St Catherine Laboure Church

I like this church because the parish is very diverse and the Masses are simple and comfortable. The décor is older but pretty, which I like. Everyone is friendly but quiet, which I also like because they seem to be paying attention to why we’re there, instead of socializing. Parking is easy too. The parish seems very involved in the school and the children. I am very happy here and glad that I live close to St. Catherine’s.

This is a very beautiful church with a parish school. Parking is not too much of an issue and the masses are simple and beautiful when I attend mass. I really enjoy the sermons and the friendliness of the people and the parishioners.

Not only is this church beautiful with a great (K-​8) private school, but it caters to the diverse needs of the community. Although the church itself is big enough to serve many people, they have mass numerous times throughout Sunday from morning to evening. Then there is also a Saturday one for those who cannot make it on Sundays.
I love the diversity of church goers and choir. They have masses in English, Vietnamese, and Spanish. Depending on the time and date they also have various choirs such as the Samoan, Vietnamese or Filipino choir which reflects the involvements of the diverse church community. I would recommend the 7:45am mass as it isn’t as crowded. Of course it isn’t crowded because it’s 7:45am, but the Samoan choir is a cool and different change than what I’m used to.

this church is really beautiful! the windows are all stained! church has somewhat a lot of parking and the service is short and sweet.

I never thought that I’d review a church but after the Easter service I just attended I thought why not get the word out about my wonderful experience. St. Catherine Laboure Church is such a melting pot of cultures and people and such a great example that we’re all the same in Christ. Since there is a pretty large Polynesian community around here the 7:45AM service had that flavor and it was a blast. The music and the spirit of the community were really evident and extremely refreshing. I kinda felt like I was on a great spiritual vacation.
There are Polynesian, Spanish and English masses at different times every weekend and they also have daily mass as well. Msgr. O’Byrne is the pastor of the congregation and my husband and I are particularly fond of his lessons. There’s usually a funny story or anecdote or Lakers/​sports reference to lighten up the message and keep you interested. He has such a joy about him that it’s kinda contagious. I believe there are 5 priests in the parish and they take turns ministering and each has his own flavor while delivering the Gospel.
Glad we found a diverse, joyful place to worship right here in the South Bay.
