Saint Jude's Shrine of the West — Attraction in San Diego

If you are immunocompromised or elderly, probably not the church to go to. After waiting 15 min for mass to start, father came in wearing a mask. After distribution of communion he told us how he was sick, and even his medication made him sick waking him with a bitter taste (assuming paxlovid for covid), but felt it was more important to speak the word. And when asking the people what was more important, one man tried to speak up twice but was told "he couldn't hear" and continued to mock and belittle elderly people who won't take a missal. Has it ever occurred that maybe someone might have dementia, and doesn't know what the missal is, or maybe at their age their vision is poor and they can't see, or they have seen too many people lick their fingers or blow their nose and turn pages? Instead if mocking them, have compassion and not judge. At least they made it to mass. I'm upset because 5 people I was with are immunocompromised and elderly, and weren't given a warning that the person giving them communion was sick. And KNEW HE WAS SICK!!! (BUT still asked for prayers for his upcoming retreat) I'll be praying...praying that illness...

Family has been going here for over a year. We've been very happy until Fr. Zarate arrived. We leave mass upset. The way he stands at the pulpit and publicly humiliates the parishioners is disgusting. I go to church to listen to the Word of God, not how I can perform better for this priest. It's sad seeing how frail some of the elderly parishioners are, knowing the difficulty to stand, he stops mass order people to sit then stand again to his "approval ". Or dictating how you can not hold hands, because its very 1980s. Or how there will be change, and we will have to like it. Sorry, no. If you like to be reprimanded, go to his mass, otherwise find out when Fr Ignacious is doing mass! He's a lovely, happy, and genuine man. You can just feel it...
