St Mary'S Armenian School

What's wrong with St. Mary's Armenian Apostolic Church hosting bingo? They don't seem to read the Bible. Jesus condemned turning the temple into a marketplace: Gospel of Matthew 21:12–13: Jesus drove out buyers and sellers, overturned tables, and said, “My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers.” Gospel of Mark 11:15–17: He drove out sellers, overturned tables, and said, “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations, but you have made it a den of robbers.” Gospel of Luke 19:45–46: He drove out sellers and said, “My house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers.” Gospel of John 2:13–16: He made a whip, drove out animals and sellers, scattered coins, and said, “Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” What's wrong with Armenian people ignoring this? Church should be for prayer, not gambling. Disappointing.

We came here for my good friend church wedding and it was our first time at an Armenian church. Finding parking here is very easy since they have a decent size lot and I didn't have any issues parking or leaving. Once you walk up the stairs and go inside the church, it is very beautiful. The seats are almost like an older style movie theater but they were comfortable enough for us. The statue and artwork that they have here are all beautiful. The audio system that they have here are loud and clear so you be able to understand what the priest are saying. It looks like the church can hold a lot of people inside because it's pretty roomy.

Been attending this church since the mid 1980's. I was married here, my children were Christened here, and sadly, many relatives have laid in rest here. It's a breathtakingly beautiful Armenian church. Staff can sometimes be impolite, and of course the church has changed over the years, but it's still a calming and spiritually fulfilling church. Sundays are extremely crowded and parking can be a headache. That's why I go during off-peak times to light a candle and pray. There's no other Armenian church like St. Mary's!

I had my wedding here and was disappointed with the experience. The church itself is beautiful, parking is easy, but nothing about my ceremony went the way I wanted it to. I couldn't have my choice of walking down the aisle music. The order in which ppl walked down the aisle was determined by a clergyman / priest. Also the clergyman seemed very irritated at everyone and everything. My maid of honor as well as everyone else was rushed and no one was there to fix my dress / veil and it was all crumpled up in the entrance. I wanted my relative to be the cross bearer during the ceremony but they made the process complicated saying it has to be the best man and same person who signs legal documents. I'm very disappointed at the lack of cooperativeness. They also kicked us out as soon as the ceremony was done so we couldn't take pictures and also wrapped up the ceremony that they told me will be an hour long in 30 minutes so my guests had to wanted around during this time gap that was unaccounted for. The priest himself was nice and the content of the mass (prayer etc) was nice.

We've been coming here at 5:45 AM for several weeks now, and the church is closed, and the opening hours are listed incorrectly. At the very least, they should update the opening hours on Google so that people don't travel for 20 minutes only to find out that they can no longer enter the church.
