Church of the Resurrection

If you ever wonder why people leave the Catholic Church, this church may give you a better understanding!
1. They are very political. There is definitely an obvious wave of favoritism! You can obviously see the «cliques» generally found in a high school! I tried giving them feedback to have the parish staff be more visible and friendly to ALL not just always gravitate towards their key familiar parishioners. After being away for a while and attending mass, I still saw they did not take my advice and played in the same sand box!
2. My son has been an altar server in our local parish for 6 years. Because my father had been ill, we started attending this church while visiting my father. And because we were here almost every weekend, I registered and started contributing to the parish. I asked if my son could also assist as an altar server and was denied, as we didn’t live in the area DESPITE his experience and my registering with the the church!!! They didn’t mind taking my weekly tithe though!!!
3. When my father was knocking on death’a door in the hospital, I called to have a priest administer the Anointing of the Sick. The receptionist asked if he was registered with the parish. When I told them, «no, but I was.» She told me that she would give me the number to St Mary’s. I couldn’t believe that she wouldn’t schedule a priest to do the anointing withy dad just because he was not a registered parishioner! And yes, I confined with her the reason. I asked her where is their mercy??? For surely Jesus did not turn anyone asking for help and prayer! Such a huge disappointment!
One positive thing about the church is the greeters at mass and the potato tacos after mass!
So, bottom line, if your looking for a friendly person to wish you a wonderful day and perhaps snack on some potato tacos, then visit the church before and after masses!!! But if you’re looking for a parish that walks the talk, keep on walking!!!

Beautiful gift selections and sweet staff. This gift shop is one of the very best ones I have found in Southern California. To boot the staff is very knowledge about their products and is willing to take time to help you find the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one!!!

I filmed a wedding ceremony here. There was plenty of space for me to effectively capture the wedding. The church staff was extremely polite and helpful which made my job easier. jfvideography

This is a great church with very friendly people! It is welcoming and diverse. The lines are not overly long for confession and it moves fast!

This is the church I’ve been going to since I moved to Escondido in the 90’s. Even when I returned back from Japan in ’03, this was our church we returned home to. Place still looks the same like I remembered it. Though, we still in plans of construction of a new church, I love this church. I volunteer singing at the 8am with my Contemporary Choir & 10am Traditional Choir on Sunday’s. This church couldn’t be anymore diverse with people. & that’s what I first & foremost love about this church. Everyone is like family. Spend time with each other even if it’s not on Sunday’s or Holiday’s. So join us not only for the church but cause our choir rocks bringing people together.
