St John Vianney Catholic Church 445 82nd Avenue, St. Pete Beach, FL 33706

"Vacationing from Valparaiso, Indiana and I attended the 9:30 Mass on 4/28/2024. Beautiful church, enjoyed the Mass and your young priest. It is such a blessing to have a priest that clearly loves his work and parishioners."

"My family & I attended 7:30am Easter mass while on vacation and all of us really enjoyed it. Ushers all dress (matching) very professional and greeted us before we even entered the church. Very clean, welcoming and the mass was perfect. We will definetly be back when we are in the area again."

"I was visiting for 10 days in November, but felt like I was always home. Your parish is not only welcoming, but the spiritual warmth was over- whelming, it brought tears to my eyes. I was fortunate enough to attend daily Mass throughout my stay b/c of St. Pete's transportation availability and no charge. I was totally impressed by the silence of the grade school upon entering the church before Mass and the older grades watching over the youngest. What a tribute to our faith. Your priests and deacon spoke with such profound humility and strength in our Lord's words, I would have joined the parish, if I was staying, and would have felt welcome to become an active member. I lost a special crucifix during my stay. I asked the custodian about it. If you did find it, it was a St. Pope John Paul II crucifix I had on my rosary rose beads that I bought in Rome the week of his death. I know I should have called the office. I was there from November 22 through November 30. You can contact me if you have any info on this crucifix. T.Y. I love your parish and will be returning again. Thank you for your witness and evangilization. God bless you all every day of your lives."

"Absolutely stunning church!! I have never seen such beautiful stained glass in all my life! We did sea turtle morning patrol on the beach this morning and had to come right after fresh of the beach. Felt a little underdressed, but it worked out. The homily was beautiful- God providing manna in the desert during the exodus, Jesus nourishing us with the body, that communion is not a symbol. It was just the right message I needed to hear that we were in the right place even on vacation. Felt very welcomed. Love this place!"

"Father Victor Ambrosio formerly from my parish Our Lady of Lourdes Dunedin is doing remarkable work at St. John Vianney Catholic church and school. St. John's is a beautiful church with many beautiful alcoves one devoted to Divine Mercy. His homilies always are thought provoking and make you think about his message all week long. Fr. Victor is a natural pastor and friend to his flock. Young boys behind me in line were so excited because Fr. Victor had been to their game and is so engaging with all his parishioners. He shares the good news of the Gospel wherever he goes."
