St. Isaac Jogues Catholic Church

I had the privilege of completing our marriage preparation courses with Father Bautista. Initially, I was a bit nervous because he seemed very serious, but I quickly realized that he is deeply compassionate, nonjudgmental, and an excellent listener. He also has a great sense of humor, which was a surprise. Father Bautista guided us patiently through every step of the process, ensuring that we understood everything we needed to do and complete. He accommodated our busy schedules by showing us how to complete the marriage preparation courses online at our own pace. He also assisted my husband with his online confirmation classes, providing clear guidance and support. On one occasion, I had gone to confession but left feeling unsettled. Father Bautista noticed and kindly offered to hear my confession, even though he was preparing for Mass. That moment of compassion brought me profound peace. Because of Father Bautista’s guidance, patience, and care, I have developed a stronger relationship with God and a deeper appreciation for the sacraments. His mentorship has truly been a blessing in our faith journey.

This was a non-denominational service disguised as a catholic mass. The guitar really put it all together, so did the clapping and non-hymn singing. Everything, the readings, responsorial hymns and traditionally non-sung sayings were extremely fast paced and non-traditional. It felt as if the holy-spirit has abandoned this parish. Mass is meant to be solemn and reflective, this was the exact opposite. I was extremely uncomfortable, so was my entire family. If you are looking for a new Catholic Church, do not attend. I am not even confirmed and I know that this mass was no mass, this was a non-denominational service.

A beautiful and welcoming parish with a strong sense of community. The church is well organized, and the Masses are inspiring and spiritually uplifting. The priests and volunteers are very kind, and it’s a wonderful place to grow in faith and prayer. Highly recommend this parish. 🙏⛪

Had a really bad experience with my dad’s funeral and truly turned me away from church even more. These people “welcomed” my mom and I with a smile ear to ear like it was a party. They made my aunt write a whole page about my dad and his life the proceeded to not talk about him almost AT ALL. The entire service the priest was talking the most ridiculous stuff about how much better off he is dead than alive in this world. If that’s the Catholic Church then definitely not my cup of tea. It did not celebrate his life only made us all angry at the lack of empathy from these people. Not to mention before walking in with his ashes they’re giggling behind us. Then at one point someone was hugging my mom and the lady came to rush him away. I get the church has its rules but empathy and patience are nice too. Also so much singing got annoying. I wish we never went with this place for his service. Again if you want the person you’re saying goodbye to to actually be talked about and celebrated don’t choose this church for service. What made me angrier was the priest talking about “sinners and how people only wish for money and don’t value the important things. My dad was nothing like that and it’s annoying that that is what he chose to discuss

The BEST Catholic Church in Orlando. I was visiting and fell in love with this place! This church community has something special! Keep up the good work-making a difference in the world!

Wonderful parish and community. Thank you Fr. Jose for bringing me back home. God bless everyone.

What a bad experience to be promised to have a priest come to our house and bless it. The schedule was made, reconfirmed from the call that I made a week prior to the date and no call, no show. Where was Fr. Jose that the scheduler assigned to do it? It was reassured that he will be in our residence at 4PM In 1 of my calls, since he had a 5:30 mass to celebrate. Is this how we practice what we preach? It was a turn down, especially that we prepared and invited some guests to celebrate the "supposedly" blessed event. 1 additional suggestion. Kindly remove your auto answering service. IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT MY CALLS WERE NEVER RETURNED OR CALLED BACK. A BUNCH OF COMMERCIAL COVER UP.

Inclusive, community oriented staff. Services are open to cultural modifications within Church standards.
