A Catholic Church Experience
Christianity today is one of the dominant religions in the world. Christianity has a variety of beliefs, exercises and forms, despite the many denominations all have one common belief, which is faith in Jesus Christ and that He is our Lord and Savior. I am a strong believer in God and Jesus Christ. I am of the Christian religion and the church I attend in The Bahamas is a non-denominational one. My choice for this class site visit was to attend St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church. Father Maximilian Kolbe is honored because his faith gave him the dignity to live and die knowing that, despite whatever horrendous condition he experienced; they believe God is always with them. Though large and diverse, guided by the love of the Holy Spirit, they work every day in a daily mass to minister to every soul who finds their way to St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church. The church is located on 701 North Hiatus Road Pembroke Pines, FL. On arrival at the church, I was a bit hesitant to enter. The unfamiliar environment around was still causing me to feel nervous. The nervousness was quickly lifted from me the moment I walked in. I was greeted at the door by an elder of the church 30 minutes before mass begun. Her name was Sister Joanna. I had talked with the elder gaining some profound knowledge of the religion and also asked if I could have a seat in the back during mass and take several notes. She complied and made me feel well at home. My first impression of the church was that they were all going to be benevolent and enthusiastic people who loved their religion. My second impression and something that I immediately adored about the church was its beauty and cleanliness. I was convinced that much attention was geared toward maintaining the beauty and quality of the church. As one enters, their ‘holy water’ fountain is an exquisite three part modernistic piece where water flows from square structures into a rectangular pool, all
