Saint Barbara Catholic Church — Local services in Santa Ana

This school is horrible. The teachers are rude, they don’t treat us fairly, and they don’t know how to teach. The schools bathrooms are smelly and gross. The water fountains don’t work, they have cobwebs, rust, and dirt on and inside of them. The teachers are always assuming things. The school should get better teachers. The reason why some students left in 2022 is because some teachers are rude and mean to them. During lunch, the teachers gossip about other students and when they do they bring it up to us.

I do not recommend this school. The boys bathroom have no walls in between the urinals and in the girls restroom there’s trash everywhere. The campus is always dirty.

It truly goes to show that the Catholic faith is exactly that a Universal church that any Catholic could attend....

Hopefully they can keep this place for spirit faith, pray , love and hope . Don't like the markets around church!

"Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves." Jesus made a whip. He chased out all the people who worked at the tables. He said, ‘How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market’ (John 2:16). He sent away those who cheated people. We call this the ‘cleansing...
