Emerald Trioth I got DDT into the ground by dark forces right here.At this corner, Ill tell you what.What a time

ken madell A lovely single room chapel on the 3rd floor of historic First Presbyterian Church. Also a large childrens area. Space shared by Church of the Atonement, which my wife and I attend.

David Norton This Church is a Jewel. Anytime you go the people, pastors and atmosphere reflect a love for God and his people. Everything is done with quality and integrity, reflecting the churches focus on Gods word and His grace given to us. God uses the staff there to challenge and equip the church to not hide but engage the world with a heart and eyes toward Jesus in every community it has influence.

Venus Lanaux This place has been my home (and the place that I can back to even a AFTER running away from home). A convenient meeting place for me and God to come together, where the coffee and fellowship appear to be plentiful. Never have I come to this place, and found a stall with a low roll of toilet paper. It is evident here, that the grace of God IS enough, and that the church motto is held in high regard: Live Generously.

Toby Taylor Im a regular member so maybe a little biased, but we have a caring family here. We are truly happy to have new people visit. We have a light lunch after Sunday am worship that gives us time to get to know people.

Ken S Its a great small church with wonderful people. Quite a few families with young children. Provides nursery and sunday school during the sermon so you dont have to worry about the children being a distraction.

Natalie Boyko We drove by this church so many times, and one Sunday decided to go for the church service! When we got there we where greeted with big smiles and open hearts! The service was amazing, you can feel God’s presence there! Definitely recommend this great church!!!

Lana Alexander My husband and I had the opportunity to visit this church. The pictures do not do the church justice. This church is beyond description, absolutely gorgeous! Have had the pleasure of meeting Shirley and her Assistant Karin. These ladies are true hand-maidens of the Lord. They speak the uncompromising word of God. Both are beautiful ladies who are sold out 100% to the Lord Jesus Christ and have an anointing and calling on their lives. Shirley has a phenomenal voice! Would love for her to put some of her singing online. We have been in several of Shirley’s services and you can always feel the sweet presence of the Lord from beginning to the end as the anointing is ushered in through praise and worship and saturates the sanctuary. I would definitely recommend attending this church if you have the opportunity.

Mary Vivenzo There is a truly special feeling in this church! Among the beautiful things that happen there that make it so special, is for over 28 years and counting ( even through CoVid ) the members of the church have perpetual eucharistic adoration. They also have a soup kitchen named after there patron Saint Marianne Cope who was raised in & patronized St. Joes St. Pats & became a Saint in 2012. They also have the Thea Bowman house where their mission is provide a safe, nurturing environment to enable culturally diverse children and their families to achieve their full potential. Quite the place! Come in and check out for yourself!!

Andrew Eater The church is beautiful and the mass service was pleasant. The seating was a bit uncomfortable, and while it wasnt a problem for my family personally, I was concerned about a significant tripping hazard - there are large iron rods that run perpendicular to the pews, and it was necessary to step over them to take our seats; these rods sit a good 8-12 inches up from the floor, so I could easily imagine someone catching their foot and falling.

shawn Lisi Jesus once told the Pharisees and Sadducees that all they cared about was the outward appearance enough said

debbie narbone Fr. Hage is a breath of fresh air. Its as though he were speaking to you personally during the sermon. He is clear speaking and you can hear and understand everything he is saying. Lady of Lourdes is blessed to have him.

Bradford Rupert Absolutely beautiful Gothic style church, I truly wish more churches were designed like Holy Trinity. Everything is designed towards the focal point in the tabernacle. It’s well worth the visit for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. The stained glass windows, statues, and paintings are all beautiful! As the fourth generation of my family able to attend, I’m very happy this parish is still standing.

Lauren B I am very thankful that Holy Trinity was our family church (1940s- 1970s). While in school (K-4), attending Catholic mass every morning instilled a permanent understanding that God is central in my life. Memorizing Latin (and Polish) mass and daily catechism (as well as practicing the essential skills of sitting still and paying close attention) sculpted excellent students. While the Catholic School was very old-fashioned and used corporal punishment liberally, that did not detract from love for Our Lord (especially as the suffering servant). The memories remain sweet and all the different lessons learned have served me well to contend with the inevitable difficulties in life.

Robert Albrecht If you want a church community that only makes you feel happy, this might not be the church community for you. The pastor and staff draw ones attention to the consequences and obligations of being a Christian: he challenges. This is a place that has a mission to serve the poor, the destitute, those without a home. Stewardship to the most vulnerable is the hallmark of this place. The churchs warming center keeps people alive by feeding them and giving them a place to lie down at night without freezing solid. There are many ways for you to connect with this community, and all your interests and skills or needs or gifts can find a place here. This is a place of Grace. Peace be with you.

Brad Tifft I have so much respect for everyone at Cornerstown Church. Hospitality and advocacy for those who are less fortunate. Always going above and beyond to protect, assist, and provide. Offering dignity and compassion to everyone that enters.

Beverly Kehoe Shea A warm dynamic and committed lady rector in step Wu todays d

Sharon H. Learned This is a beautiful church on a grand scale. The organist is exceptional and turns out a wonderful choir of men, women and children; all while training new organists too. While they have an interim rector at present, there is currently a search going on for a new rector to serve the church. Anyone who has come to our Monday night concert in June knows of our choir. We also have beautiful stained glass windows, especially in the cancel and Lady Chapel. The beauty of the church cannot be described; it has to be seen to describe itself...

Alex Bratkov These church where to nice… definitely going to move here

Paul Brutsky A large family style Eastern European Pentecostal church which has great leaders and a vibrant youth. Supportive people, volunteer based ministers (practically everyone) and many opportunities and connections to local churches. Grateful for the support and encouragement from this church that led me into higher education. This is a congregation that loves prayer and grounded worship. SPC/House of Prayer speaks to needs of Slavic immigrants while simultaneously connecting 3rd culture youth to the root traditions and history of Slavic Pentecostalism.

Harry Buck Went to a beautiful wedding this past weekend, music was beautiful and it was a wonderful service.

Mary I went to mass on Easter Sunday. My daughter was confirmed. Its a beautiful church. Very old and cathedral like. The ceilings are vaulted and painted. The priest is kind and personable.

Douglas Blair Wonderful Wedding today.

Tyler H More of a region based church mostly for Lebanese Catholics. Everyone is super nice and accepting. They arent hateful to any type of person, gay, straight, bi, doesnt matter. Good church with good youth programs.

Rocco Piccione This church is beautiful inside, old italian church for sure

John DeCarlo Its my church what else do you need to know about that?

John G Chromczak Always enjoying going to St Marks in North Utica when Im up visiting family. Very welcoming.

Conrad Sigona The place itself is rather modern, not quite my taste, but the pastor, Fr. Pasick, is superb. Update: He was superb. Im sad to report Fr. Pasick died.
