I review catholic churches from time to time in my travels and I give a rating system for certain criteria which typically follows the GERM / my opinion . It should also be noted that I only went to mass here once on travel.

Architecture: Upon first examination the church looks to have deep roots and history with it. The double towers give this church a similar look with the cathedral of Notre dame. Externally it is quite beautiful. Internally the first thing that catches your eye is the glorious tabernacle which is awesome. The other things that stuck out were the many statues of saints and the beautiful stain glass. 10/10

Tabernacle location: It so obvious that Christ is at the front and center of this church. The magnificent golden tabernacle surrounded by the awesome golden high alter is to wonder at. 10/10

Kneeling: kneelers we’re present and people didn’t kneel during the appropriate times at the mass. 10/10

Reference: The parish seems to cultivate a holy and contrite attitude. 10/10

Community: Seems to be vibrant church - I went on a Saturday evening and it was 60% full. Probably mostly tourists, but unsure of that. Hard to give a true sense of the community that are frequent goers here. no score /N/A

Homily: The priest here was holy. He gave a simple yet poignant message that we all need to put Christ at the center of our lives. It was relevant and connected with the gospel. I could tell he was humble and reverent. 10/10

Kiss of peace: They do allow for kiss of peace, but it was short and appropriate. 10/10

Holding hands during our father: Was present here, but it wasn’t drawn out or distracting. 9/10

Clapping/birthday announcements: None. 10/10

Overall seems to be great church with respectful participation of the liturgy. Would come back again if in San Antonio. Total score: 69/70
