👍👍 It's a family parish. It's great! The music ministry is well-rehearsed and does an excellent job. The Mass is reverent. Parents *do* supervise their toddlers. Some people expect the little folks to behave as if they are adults. Guess what? The majority of them are baptized and *have the right* to be... People often mention church, mass,

    It's a family parish. It's great! The music ministry is well-rehearsed and does an excellent job. The Mass is reverent. Parents *do* supervise their toddlers. Some people expect the little folks to behave as if they are adults. Guess what? The majority of them are baptized and *have the right* to be present. My husband and I enjoy sitting by the young families, some of them blessed with a good-sized brood. If you want perfection, I suggest you seek another parish. I, for one, would rather welcome those parents, babies, and smalls. How will they stay if they are greeted with crabby faces and told to leave the first time the baby fusses? The faith formation program is first-class. Life Teen at St. Paul's embraces teens from the entire area.

    While this church was under construction, masses were held in a local gymnasium. I believe that the atmosphere of the gym carried forward to the church as the congregation carries on loud personal conversations before mass. Many parents allow their toddlers to run through the church during mass. If you're looking for a reverent place to pray, this isn't it.

    Attended Saturday evening Mass during a visit with my grandnephews. It is a very nice, large church. I especially liked that they called the young children forward after the homily to discuss the simple message from the homily with them right in front of the community for about 5 minutes. The Deacon gave an excellent homily and the church was welcoming. I will attend Mass there whenever I visit my family.

    We have been parishioners of St. Paul the Apostle's Church in Gurnee for over 10 years now. Even though the church is quite large, the people there are friendly and welcoming. The music is wonderful. I feel renewed after each mass I attend. The church offers many ministries so there are many ways to meet others and be involved.

    Really a good church with a lot of good people. 5 stars for the infrastructure and cleanliness of the church. Also it has a vast parking area.

    The weekday masses are a half hour so it's easy to get to these and still get ro work on time. The homilies feed my soul. Weekend masses are more traditional with a great music program. While wouldn't show up dressed as if I was going to a picnic or the beach I can say that it has a more casual and inclusive atmosphere.

    Contemporary music, very friendly parishioners, huge parking lot, short and penetrating homilies. Excellent Donuts and coffee every once in a while.

    I do like their projecting tv that show prayer and the songs to follow.

    I've been visiting the 5pm Sunday mass for a few weeks. I really enjoyed mass on 8/6/23. Everything just came together well for a beautiful liturgy. I would attend mass at St Paul the Apostle again.
