St. Frances de Chantal Church - Bronx (NY)

5 /5 Leyni Herrera: today I went to this church and it’s really nice looking and everyone is friendly as well

5 /5 Jacqueline Lisella: So Im a little biased, because I have attended this church and was baptized and made communion here when my family lived in the bronx. I always loved the music here and the stained glass windows on the inside of the church. The outside also is a brick building and is very nice. I have family too that got married here, and according to my mom- the church really hasnt changed at all- at least the inside hasnt. Anyways, went here recently on Saturday May 3rd 2025 to attend a communion in the family. Loved the chorus singers- and the kids singing. Only downfall is that id suggest a better soundsystem as I couldnt really hear some of the priests that were doing the mass. Sometimes people not hearing the mass can make it hard to follow along with it.Especially if one wants to renew their faith if they havent gone to church. The spews are comfortable. Enjoyed my visit back to the old church where i was baptized, and made my communion myself!

1 /5 Ana Sarmiento: Monsignor Graham is very rude and obnoxious. I called to inquire about baptizing my 4yr old. He told me I just missed a group getting baptized and I would have to wait until next year. I have never heard of such thing. Since when do churches do yearly baptizing. She goes to the school and has religion everyday.

2 /5 Ro sito: I am loyal to st Francis. Got married there in 1975 plus communion Conformation plus all my siblings the same and most of their children baptized there. Until msg Graham took over and the baptizing stopped at St. Francis because of the limitations msg Graham implemented. Parents who are children of God want to baptize their children and are made to feel not Worthy enough because they are not registered Parisioners plus the godparents they choose arent either.i understand where monsignor is coming from but just advice them to do the right thing not force them . So parents are going to St. Benedict or other churches instead. Also the priest there other than msg. Graham, have VERY heavy accents and hard to understand so when they talk to you during their sermons you get NOTHING Out of it which is so sad and fear going to confession cause I cant understand what they are saying and dont want to insult them. I loved when the priest were understood I, learned alot from them. Also they seem to cater to the Spanish more than ever which is nice and godly but when we have to go to receive ashes at night after work and the only night service is only in Spanish and not bilingual us Americans sit there not understanding ..I know alot of residents in throggs neck now go to St Benedict cause of all of the above. Which is so sad. Like I said I am loyal to my church and will still attend every Sunday but if I drove maybe woukd go to sunday mass at st Benedict just to be more fulfilled

5 /5 Robin: This is a comfortable church to attend, plenty of parking and modern setting. The pastor, priest and staff are friendly and true servants of God. I have sensed the spirit of the almighty, within them and they are dedicated indeed. This is a church which is worth attending and bringing your family to, for spiritual guidance and for the proper worship of God.
