St Anthony Catholic Church — Local services in Riverside

Have you experienced getting locked in the church property? I’m still in the parking lot doing things slowly and before I knew it all the cars are gone, no one is here, and the gates are padlocked!!

Gee…. I’m such in luck! I wanna consider this a blessing in disguise but how will I come out! I’ve been walking with my cane in the heat, knocking every building!

I’m already yelling Hello and Help! I’m definitely the only one left.

I called the cops and I’m on hold many times and the Riverside police is on his way after a very long hold.

My first time to hear mass here at St Anthony at 3074 Madison St in Riverside.

How could they lock me in when my car is way visible …, They could have given me the nudge of something!

It’s a good thing my air conditioner is working in the heat and I only have 2 bottles of water.

This church should be notified of their lack of coordination and concern for the safety of their parishioners.

I mean, WTH! Didn’t they see my car and me??

Can you imagine if I’m one with a condition and is out of meds or something??? Or if my air condition is not working????

Been here for 2 hours… And I am still...

I have been going to St Anthony's ever since I was baptized there. I'll admit off and on I recently started going back more often then I used to I have been going in and out of the hospital for several complications. Unfortunately for being Mexican American I speak or don't understand Spanish, so I tried to go to the English language sessions! They recently got a new father by the name of Father Omar!! A young man who in the beginning didn't speak too much English, but now he speaks and understands perfect English I feel I can talk to him about anything he was kind enough to go visit me in the hospital at my worst moment I thought that was very sweet he has inspired me to pray everyday and to be very thankful and grateful for what I have. Father Omar you are the best very kind and understanding I hope you never leave St Anthony's church it will not be the same...

I thank god for all the blessings he has given me like my 3 kids and my wife. my wife had the privilege of coming to this church as a child. and my kids have also attended this church by what I was told it is amazing. I am Christian at heart always have been christ is a magnificent being. I ask this chruch and all its beautiful people to pray for my kids and wife she is truly an Angel and my kids also. unfortunately the people they are residing with have lost touch with God and are living a pagan life style. please pray for my family christ is love regardless of what denomination...
