Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church — Local services in Phoenix

The priest who did the 7am mass on 9-1-24 was so fast and irreverent with the Eucharist, I am honestly unsure if the Eucharistic mass was real and valid.

Someone finally called me back today and said they can't even help me with $100 because they don't get enough cash donations. In case anyone doesn't realize this but the Catholic Church is one of the wealthiest organizations in the world. This is why my mom left the church years ago because they were always asking for money. So my question is where does...
