Church of the Epiphany

This has been my family & I’s parish since I went to Epiphany school from 1^st through 8^th grade. Class of 2000! I love how the church has always been the same. It is very well maintained!

Though I grew up in San Jose, I’m originally from SF Daly City.
I went here from 1^st to 4^th grade. This was years ago. Back in the late 80s early 90s.
Who knows how things are now, but back then it was not very diverse. It was mostly Filipino. But that is a given seeing the location of this place. I always thought the place was huge, but when you are a kid, what doesn’t?
My teachers were great except my 4^th grade teacher. She was a b! tch. So much that I still recall now that I’m almost 30. Maybe it was my fault? It was the start of me being rebellious.
I remember before and after school going to the liquor store to buy candies and Marvel cards!
I had a lot of friends there, and I have always wondered how my personality would have shaped up if I stayed there.
To the what ifs.

My family has been going here for years. Father saon was great and patient w us since we didn’t get a chance to rehearse.
We love and miss you Nanay!

I’m gonna give this church 3.5 stars. I’ve been going to this church for years and I like it… for the most part.
The music is good, but it could be more upbeat. There are some of my favorite church songs in that book, but the music man just doesn’t use them for some reason. The lectors should read the readings and make sure they pronounce everything right. The homilies just make everyone go to sleep. Sometimes they don’t even make sense.
I go to church almost every sunday with my mom. But the homilies need to people’s everyday lives and the music needs to be little bit better.

Was not a pleasant place to be educated. I went here and it was not diverse, mostly filipino. One black person, a handful of latins. Most of the educators were wash ups and had a negative impact on my future education. I remember particularly a nasty math teacher that destroyed my ability to do math and a evil religion teach that made me hate school from there after. When I should have been pulled aside and gotten better care I was just passed along and now have life struggles. Including a small felony last year. The worst part was memorizing prayers. To this day it’s hard for me to face crowds and function normally socially because of the hostile treatment I got. You are better off if you have known your classmates since birth but if you are a transplant from another school you are pond scum. Catholic school girls are a fine bunch. I remember a few 8^th grade graduates had kids in high school (9^th grade) just after graduating Epiphany. Epiphany does not inspire its students to learn. Home school your kids. In fact just leave them on any San Francisco street and they would be better off sticking around at Epiphany.

I went to Epiphany School from 1967 to 1975 back when they actually Had nuns doing the teaching along with the other teachers Academically looking back, I thought it was great and it gave a good moral foundation for life. I cant speak for what it is like today but when I went there it did its job and that all any one should expect.

Theres no need to give this place less than 5 stars. Although it is a traditional set-​up, I try and reflect on things past and maybe during a sermon seek answers. I grew up going to this church and went to school there also. I learned not to steal and tell the truth, and that is some of the best qualities any person can learn. I believe this is the standard of what a church should have.

How could someone give a church less than 5-​stars?! Shame on you. This is my neighborhood church, and although it gets super packed during the 5:30 & 8pm masses, it’s a great place to be, no matter what time it is. I like to go when it’s nice and empty. It’s more peaceful and serene, and I get to hear myself think. Sometimes I even hear God talking back! (Okay maybe not.) But a lot of people get married here, so if you’re looking for a spacious church to hold your ceremony, look no further. Amen.

I think the Church is wonderful and so is that staff. I think its very sad MONICA H has personal issues and think Unilocal is the appropriate place for her teenage drama. So sad.

I feel guilty if I do not give the place 5 stars. First and foremost, I am not the one to «rate» a parish especially since I haven’t been attending mass regularly in years. Secondly, isn’t this a tad sacrilegious? Epiphany parish… what can I say? I went to school for eight years at Epiphany. I was an alter server and the place should get 5 stars alone since I was never molested. Okay, definitely inappropriate… I apologize. The church is beautiful and I happen to enjoy the «singing priest». As far as the school… that’s a whole different story. I mean I did attend the school around the time students spray-​painted «Dr. Dan is a man» all-​over the school building and outside the right side of the church (Dr. Dan being my female principal who was retiring). But enough of my rant, 5 stars for the church and –5 for the school.
Ps– For those that still go there: Is Sister Eileen still there? I miss her.

Yes, I’m probably going to hell for saying this, but I said an Our Father before writing this. The church staff are downright rude. Dealing with them is like being serviced by a disgruntled DMV employee.
I changed parishes … Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Friendly, and they don’t ask you to dig deep in your wallet for donation$.
