Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Parish — Attraction in Phoenix

I'm a witness to this sin committed in a home of our savior! This was a complete atrocity!!! The definition of every inch & meaning of this word... My darling sister I feel agony, we shared the same mother, we share the same unbearable pain of our mother's loss... I am a middle aged woman & have had my share of pain & downfalls, but our beautiful mother deserves the utmost best. Especially for us to have been taught respect by this fine woman of a mother... I'm in complete shock & disgustedly upset by the treatment of this individual chosen to be put in charge of making us her children wanting at a point to scream stop in the middle of what was supposed be heartfelt & serene, mom was in the safest place & in our hearts she was on her way to the gates of our lord & savior, our final home in heaven... How dare the church parishes be so irresponsible to have this premature individual chosen to lead & conduct any heartfelt podium ceremony & to even utter the words blood & body of Christ! It has been an uncontrollable, unbelievable, surprising amount of heaviness of our hearts, stomach & tears... Along with all of the questions and confirmations we battle with in your head. The day June 16th, 2022, funeral mass held for our mother family and friends to join together as a sign of love and respect in the most sacred place, in a Holy Church. Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Parish. To all who attended on this day, my sincere apologies... As for those reading this review. I hope in our cheated experience. You make a proper assessment and any future decision to step foot forward through these doors for...

My family and I had my mother’s funeral service at this Church. It has taken me quite some time to officially write this review because it is such a sensitive subject, but I simply cannot just let it be. The funeral was conducted by the mortuary but this was our church of choice since my mother had been part of the parish. The funeral was to began at 11am and as all the attendees began to arrive and give their condolences, the Pastor got up to the microphone and began to speak. As he spoke, he called my family and the funeral attendees “heathens” because they arrived to greet us prior to the funeral beginning. The pastor started the services at 10:45 when it was scheduled to begin at 11am. The pastor proceeded to speak, he spoke so softly to where you couldn’t hear nor understand anything he was saying, so I can only imagine what else he said. When he finished the services which was supposed to end at noon but ended at 11:30, they turned the lights off immediately after not allowing everyone to exit the premises. Now again, this is in a state of grief and mourning! I felt very disrespected & I felt very hurt and cheated by a church! Something I could have never imagined! I expect to be treated with more respect & gratitude from a Pastor! I could not believe in a million years we would be treated this way, & called names in the house of the lord. Very distasteful...

Horrible! I had my daughters baptized here.

1. baptism was extremely unorganized.
2. they never sent me the certificates.
3. when I called to ask about my certificate they had no record. I had to provide proof I was there
4. they knew they had issues with baptisms performed by a specific deacon and they didn't investigate or take steps to correct the problem.
5. when I finally got everything straightened out I was told by a rude condescending man by the name of Juan that I had to pay the $60 again to get my child registered despite all the back and forth.
6. they still wanted to charge me the $10 for a "replacement" or "duplicate" certificate after I never received the original.

Lovely church, historical, great place for prayer. Don't do any sacraments here. They will charge you more than once and Juan will be the rudest person when you just are trying to get everything straightened out and get what you already paid for....
