This was our go-to church whenever we were at the beach. It is warm and friendly church and we especially loved the Saturday evening mass.

Attended my grandson's soccer game... what I saw was more than soccer...I saw kids having a great time and coaches "dancing" on the field as they showed the kids the footwork needed to play the game...a captivating and loving display of dedication and skills!
