Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church — Attraction in New York

Church is fine but CYO program doesn't even double check ages of teams for tournament 😂 so if you're in a CYO, save your money. There was one game where the referee had to ask the person at the desk to start the clock because he wasn't even playing attention to the game. He was using his phone the whole time.

EDIT The CYO director personally emailed me telling me that I forgot to mention something. He went on about how he went through so much to help me "research" some kids who were playing down. They were older kids. I know because I saw them playing in another tournament JUST THIS MONTH and the exact same kids were 4th graders playing for 10u. We happened to see them because they were the game before ours... Good job "researching"... 😂

Here's a more detailed review:

This review is specifically for the Immaculate CYO Tournament. Our team participated in the 3rd-grade division, but we quickly realized that older kids were playing down, making it unfair—especially for teams with actual 3rd and even 2nd graders. There was no lineup verification, which led to a major imbalance in competition.

On top of that, the officiating was extremely poor. The referees let excessive physical play go unchecked, allowing grabbing and rough contact without calling fouls, while at the same time making questionable calls on young kids for things like illegal screens. The inconsistency made it nearly impossible for kids to play real basketball.

The gym is already small, limiting movement, but the lack of enforcement of basic rules made it feel more like football than basketball. If you’re looking for a well-organized, fair, and skill-focused tournament, this may not be the...

My daughter was baptized here, made her first communion and was confirmed here. Every time I have gone to mass I give generous contributions. But guess what, today my daughter went to ask the priest to sign a consent form to be the godmother of her only nephew and the lady who works in the rectory treated her rudely... with a NASTY attitude. Without even listening to what my daughter had to say, she told her to go to the church where my daughter just moved 1 month ago. She doesn’t even know any priest there!. My daughter felt very unwelcome and told me that she would NEVER go back to this church again… this is how the "good samaritans" of this “CHURCH” make their parishioners feel. My daughter is 19 years old, a perfect age to keep believing in the magical place that she used to call her church.. right? SO DO NOT DO THIS!!! THIS IS A “CHURCH” NOT A BUSINESS PLACE!! PATHETIC!!! I do t know was going on with this place now..Two years ago I went to ask one of the priests to come to my house to bless it; I left all my information including my phone number with one of the volunteers who was working inside of one of the side doors and I'm still waiting for someone to communicate with me… Totally disappointed about their “ human services”, a Bank can give you a better service than this “church” even though they are a for profit place. The taste a have about this church: They are not there to love and serve others, nor to make them feel...

Although it's a PRIVATE SCHOOL and the tuition ain't the cheapest compared to other private school in the borough THERE'S NO AIR CONDITIONING. I called the main office and was told they can't afford it. This really concerns me with all the bacteria and viruses going around at the moment. Hot temperatures can kill most germs — usually at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Most bacteria thrive at 40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, which is why it's important to keep places & food refrigerated or cook it at high temperatures. Freezing temperatures don't kill germs, but it makes them dormant until...
