St. Therese Catholic Church, North 7207 Missouri 9, Kansas City, MO 64152

"My daughter sent me your link so I could watch my grandson receive his first holy Communion and I couldn't find ANYTHING as it was happening live. Very, very disappointing as I could not be there in person. I clicked on live streamed masses and it took me to YouTube for previous ones. I tried your facebook page and nothing there, either. If it was possible to view it as it was happening, you sure don't make it easy to find. I never did."

"Just attented 10am Mass 12/31/17 Spoke with Father and had a great, uplifting spiritual feeling about St. Therese Catholic Church. My mother, my son and I attended for the first time and we were very happy with the mass service, beautiful church and very friendly people. We enjoyed it. Currently live in Melbourne, FL and attend Ascension Catholic Church. My son goes to Ascension Catholic School. Looking for a new Parish and Catholic School and I think we have found it. Though our move wont be until June 2018. Phyllis Machado"

"This is a Roman Catholic Church. The Mass follows the current tradition and stay faithful to the teaching of the church. Beautiful church. Really enjoyed Fathers homily. Be prepared and patient when leaving Mass the parking flow is not the fastest. My experience in leaving the parking lot was we funnelled out of one exit, now I am from out of town so there may be another exit."

"Gosh, Nicholas. I'm very surprised that you had such a bad experience at St. Therese Church. I am not a member there, but I have attended Mass there quite a few times over the years, and I have always had a much better experience. The parish has a lot of really good people, and I don't know which priest you encountered, but the pastor is wonderful, and I have never experienced anything but kind attention from him when we've visited his church. I wonder whether something out of the ordinary was going on the day you attended there and had everyone rushing off from Mass for some reason. I have honestly not experienced anything like what you've described there. My eldest son attends St. Therese regularly, and believe me, he would not be going there if the congregation was irreverent and the pastor unwelcoming. I hope you've found a home elsewhere, although perhaps you should give St. Therese a second chance. We would certainly welcome you at St. Charles Borromeo. If you're ever at daily Mass, feel free to say hello to my husband and me. We are the sacristans at the Tuesday and Thursday morning Masses, 9am."

"I am new to KC area and attended this church to see if I could find a new church home and community. At the end of church, the proceeding song began to play and the whole congregation left bounced out before father was even in formation to walk out. I stayed until the song was over. After the proceeding song, I walked up to father to introduce my wife, 2 boys, and myself. He shook my hand and forced me past him not giving me the time of day. I have never felt this way or a had a priest treat me this way while attending any Catholic Church in my entire life. This church was completely rude and felt like they where just going through the motions. I will never attend this church again for mass, nor will I ever have my children attend their school."
