Saint Patrick Catholic Church - Laredo (TX)

2 /5 Homero Cavazos: Our mother, unfortunately passed away on January 9th and no priest has been able to offer a mass for her. We live close to this church and we attend mass every Sunday. We wanted for my mom to have her mass at this church but they denied it, first, because we have not registered there, and second because we have not been able to buy a “ “nicho” at the Cementery so her ashes rest in peace, but it is because there is no place available yet. It saddens us to know that religion has also become a “ BUSINESS “ and priests try to take advantage of the situation just because we do not belong to a church, but do they ask who belongs to the church on Sundays when you have to give the “ diezmo “? Then they should not accept the money if the people does not belong to that church. Same place who tried to charge me more money when I wanted to get married because I did not belong there.

4 /5 Leah Socorro Cayanan: I like St. Patrick Church. The pastor, Fr. Anthony Mendoza, is a fatherly, kind priest who has a smile on his face when you converse with him. It’s one of the Catholic churches with daily 6 pm Mass. After work, this is where we celebrate weekday Mass during family’s special events like birthdays and anniversary. The magnificent church architecture draws one to the altar wall where an immense Crucifix hangs. Still yet evokes in one a great sense of gratitude for God’s sacrificing love. The parish has an Adoration Chapel, parish center with basketball court, classrooms for religious education and a mini-playground. Their parking lot is relatively big and there’s a small covered area for some cars. Though not a parishioner, I can feel the vibrancy of the community here. And that’s probably one reason why we come here though we live on the other side of town.

5 /5 Janet Pescador: At St Patrick’s church I have found exceptional people willing to help in any way possible. Special thanks to Father Oscar and everyone else praying for me. Thank you for the home visit and beautiful talks we’ve had father Oscar. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God continue to be with you always!

5 /5 Kino Carrillo: I dnt go to Church, not religious by any means but i did visit as well as other friendsof ours in order to pay respects to a fallen friend!

3 /5 Mario Martinez: Nice building. Good mass schedule. Bad choir, musical instruments sounded like a nightclub act. Attended the Spanish 4pm mass. Could not understand what the priest was saying. During homily, the priest in trying to make a point said an obscene word and the congregation reacted. Was not expected.
