Overall the church is OK. Whenever I come though the same people attend the church through a decade almost. So I can assume that the new people are something different to them. I didn't have problem with priests. Overall it's OK but I didn't feel warm also.

A real place where you can get a peaceful mind. All priests that I met here are very welcoming and helped me massively. Its parish school is great academically and an amazing welcoming place where the pupils, parents and teachers become a big family.
