A beautiful Church, as never before seen, beautiful and modern. Unfortunately in the mass, in the moment after the Eucharist it seemed a disorderly market and where any person takes possession of a space on the altar. The truth does not interest me that they are there to look at them, they should be more humble and give themselves their place. All these people who help are standing behind the table at the altar manipulating the hosts and drinking the leftover wine. I felt as if they were mistreating the body and blood of Christ. The young priest sitting in his chair could only see what was happening. It seems to be the established way in this church but I believe that only the priest with the consecrated hands can touch the body and blood of Christ on the altar. Otherwise I suggest to people who come to Mass to teach their children that we are all equal in the presence of God regardless of the color of the skin and they should not choose who to give and whom not to shake hands with at the moment of peace. It is incredible that even their mother who thought twice and almost obliged extended her hand to me giving the peace. I can not believe it. But in short, a beautiful , beautiful Church, but some parishioners and celebration lack of spirit. I am very sorry, I am Catholic and I only write what I see and feel.
Una Iglesia hermosa, como nunca antes vista, bella y moderna. Lastimosamente en la misa , en el momento despues de la eucaristía parecía un mercado desordenado y en dónde cualquier persona se adueña de un espacio en el altar. La verdad no me interesa que estén allí para mirarles, ellos deberían ser madme humildes y darse su lugar. Todas estas personas que ayudan están de pie detras de la mesa en el altar manipulando las hostias y tomando el vino que sobra. Sentí como si estuvieran maltratando el cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo. El sacerdote joven sentado en su silla solo atinaba a mirar lo que sucedia. Al parecer es la manera establecida en esta iglesia pero me parece que solo el sacerdote con las manos consagradas puede tocar el cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo en el altar. De otra manera sugiero a las personas que vienen a misa que enseñen a sus hijos que todos somos hijos de Dios y que no deben escoger a quien dar y a quien no dar la mano en el momento de la paz. Es increíble que hasta una madre como que lo pensó dos veces y casi obligada me extendió la mano ✋ de la paz. No lo puedo creer. Pero en fin una Iglesia hermosa , bella, pero algunos feligreses y la celebración falta de espíritu . Lo siento mucho , soy católico y solo escribo lo que yo...
Read moreSt. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church is truly a cornerstone of the Chino Hills community—a sacred space where open-hearted individuals come together to worship, grow in faith, and feel embraced by something greater. It holds a very special place in my heart, as it’s where my daughter was baptized—a moment I will forever cherish.
The church itself is stunning, with a peaceful beauty that draws you in, but it’s the people who make it truly extraordinary. The parish community is warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Whether you’re a lifelong member or visiting for the first time, you’ll be met with kindness and a willingness to serve. St. Paul’s is more than just a church—it’s a spiritual home for anyone seeking connection, love,...
Read moreStarted attending this church about 8 years ago and fell in love. It's a big church that has many pews and can really accommodate a huge crowd during religious holidays. They even have a spare hall for when the main house gets packed. It's very clean inside and out. They usually have vendors of the church and boy scouts in the courtyard selling goods like candles and statues. The atmosphere is very welcoming and has a diverse mix of people race & age (a lot of young people/young adults such as myself, which is a good sign that this church has a lot to offer.) Ever since moving to the Temecula area, I haven't found a church that really spoke to me and felt like home. I try my best to come to St. Paul every Sunday. I love this...
