Absolutely beautiful Catholic church with marble and a clean, uplifting brightness. Fr. Pedro ? is very good at homilies. Confessions are Mon-Sat, 11-12. With a 12:15pm mass.

Great community, welcoming and with a generous heart. I was just there once and was greeted as a great guest. Shared a nice time after mass. Definitely go there ! There is a replica of the chapel of St Francis in Assisi that is also worth seeing.
