Our Lady of Victory / St. Joseph - Rochester (NY)

5 /5 Jennifer L: One of the few handful of churches in this Diocese still practicing preBergolian Catholicism. Its reverent and the Pastor doesnt stand for any novus ordo funny business. Celebrates the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass ad orientem. A holdout from the days in the Clark desert, this Mass will help your faith increase. Many luke warm believers have been brought to a deeper understanding by attending Fr As masses. Miracles happen at OLV.

1 /5 donna head: I found this letter by the pastor at OLOV, and quite frankly, I was very sad to see a priest, who should be setting an example, writing such a letter full of anger and venom. I thought it was combative and judgmental, and below the dignity of a religious leader. I assume anyone who didn’t vote for who he voted for, wouldn’t be welcome at OLOV, the church where my grandparents, and parents were married, the church where my sisters and I were baptized, and the church that we attended weekly until we moved.

1 /5 Maria Page: My husband is working in this location this weekend. As Catholics, we look for local churches for our Sunday Mass. I found this church. The outside of the church was sadly trashy. Inside the church, it was beautiful. I decided to pray for community outreach to clean up the outside. Everything was fine, I was happy to donate to the church’s needs. Until…the elderly priest started his homily. My first time, ever, where I heard a priest mock people from California, stating a sucker is born everyday, stating the destruction of the ozone is a farce, & belittling the Left?? With all due respect, who is he to judge or belittle anyone?? How is this anything like Christ? I believe politics has no place in our church. I was very uncomfortable listening to him. I had to leave in the middle of his service saddened & in disbelief.

5 /5 Scott Clyde: Beautifully restored church originally built in the late 1800s. First in the Diocese of Rochester. Fr. Antinorelli delivers a traditional and somber mass.

5 /5 Diane Abel: The most wonderful authentically Catholic Church! I find Our Lady of Victory to be a refreshing change as well as a true blessing in our diocese. I always leave with the feeling that my soul has been "fed". I searched for years to find a church with a Mass that I could call home and this parish is truly the answer.
