Review content:
I have been attending St. Benedict's for the past several months. Every week that I have attended, I have felt as if I was attending a financial meeting! Every week the liturgy is devoted to discussing the financial situation of the church as well as an update on the building plans for the new church. Last week, they even had a guest speaker (financial advisor) come during the liturgy and discuss how members are not donating enough money each week to the church!!! Never had I been to a mass where this was actually discussed in such great detail. The financial advisor even gave statistics, i.e. There are 500 families who are registerd and out of those 500 families, only 150 families donate the recommended $20 or more offering!!!! \r

I really don't know how I lasted so long at this church. Every week I tell myself, if Monsignor Chet devotes the entire ceremony to discussing the finances of the church or how the current members are not doing enough, I will not attend again and find a new church. Last week, when they had a financial advisor give a presentation, was definitely the last straw! I was sitting there feeling as if I should be taking notes watching a powerpoint presentation. \r
\r
If you have just relocated to the area or are considering switching to a new parish, PLEASE consider finding an alternative church. \r

FYI: I do understand that the church needs money to operate and that religion is not ""free"". I just feel that if the church did not press the issue so insistently that members would be more willing to give and not become cynical of the practices of the Catholic Church. I never thought in a million years that I would be writing a bad review of a church.
