St. Rose of Lima Church - Chula Vista (CA)

5 /5 Juan Luis Gutierrez: On my quest to attend mass in all of the San Diego County Catholic Churches I found another welcoming place to talk to God. The environment is a good place to go to pray and give thanks to our Lord and Savior.

5 /5 Jackie Acevedo: Plain and simple a wonderful and welcoming church. The parking can get full but there’s always a space waiting. The church itself is quite large, the young man I’ve seen play piano and sings leads a beautiful song throughout the service. It’s simple and no fuss and a variety of members- all races sizes of families and even a lot of single people with friendly faces. I really enjoy their flyer they give

1 /5 Ramon Juarez: Not into politics at Church; specially when the priest comments do not correlate with the word of our Savior Jesus Christ. Also, having the Deacon give the homily/sermon seems to be the normal procedure for the head priest, as is altering the sequence of the mass to make it fit his style. As a sinner seeking to maintain a relationship with my Lord Jesus Christ, I felt somewhat disappointed with the political, and altered sequence of the mass I attended. May the Good Lord guide us and protect us.

1 /5 Scott Bennett: I heard of the outreach for food so I went to the building on Alvarado and was treated terribly. I committed the horrible sin of standing near the door instead of further away, even though it was my first time there and I was just seeking help, not disrespect. Stay away from this place and people who disrespect homeless individuals while claiming to "help" them.

5 /5 Ricardo: We recently held our wedding ceremony at St. Rose of Lima. Deacon John prepared us for our sacrament. He was very supportive and really helped us go through the process of making sure we completed all the steps as part of the Catholic Diocese. We truly felt prepared to not just have a wedding, but prepare for our commitment of marriage. The church office staff were really helpful and allowed us to access the church to figure out our décor. Maly helped us with the rehearsal, and patiently waited until our family arrived and reviewed it several times so that we all could remember and feel comfortable. Maly also helped us with the day of ceremony. Mr. Advento did the music, which was of course beautiful. Mr. Advento listened to our requests including the Psalm and the Ave Maria was beautifully sung. Father Miguel was phenomenal. Even our non-religious friends and family, thought Father Miguel spoke wonderfully, and was entertaining. He included my daughter in the ceremony so she would feel part of. Everything went smoothly, the ceremony was special, and we truly felt supported by our local church community.
