Asked to get baptist. It took months for them to answer my request. Then said somebody will get back with me. That was over 3 months ago. Not too happy.
Great place to feel the power of God working in the lives of all who worship here. Music is fantastic, they have classes and activities for all ages. We feel at home here.
Service was good, people not too friendly, looked at me like I didn't belong

Covenant Presbyterian Church has been my loving support group for over 25 years! We were welcomed from the moment we walked in the door and I feel part of my church family every time I join in Bible Study, Choir rehearsal, Book Club, Fellowship Meals, and especially Sunday Worship. I encourage anyone to visit Covenant and experience the warm welcome.

Stuart Hall School's 2023 graduation ceremony was held in this church on a Friday evening. Our daughter was one of the graduates. It was a grand and memorable affair, & particularly the atmosphere elevated the overall experience. The church is historic and stunning both inside and out. I've visited cathedrals in Europe, and this church is on par in its beauty. I hope to attend a religious service in the future.
Thanks to a tip from a local we chatted with while visiting Downtown Staunton, we came here to look at the Tiffany stained glass windows from the outside. It was a Sunday and services were just ending and a few members of the congregation who saw us invited us inside the chapel to see them up close. It is a gorgeous church and I wish we’d known earlier as we would’ve come here to attend Sunday services at 8:00 or 10:15 AM. During weekdays, the church is open from 1:00 - 4:00 PM (M-F) for visitors.
Very nice place to visit... great gardens, historic cemetary and the architecture of the building is amazing 🙂
This is a nice church with beautiful Stainglass.
Don't miss this gem with Tiffany windows, a locally built pipe organ, gorgeous architecture, a historic cemetery, and friendly members.
This is more than just a beautiful, historical church. It's also a place that actively feeds and clothes the underprivileged regularly, offering all kinds of support. The volunteers that dedicate their time, love, and compassion to the people in this community are absolutely fantastic. There is also a playground behind the church that is a very safe and quiet place. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
Unbelievable and must see to appreciate. You’ll find this in downtown Staunton, VA.

St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Staunton, VA is a significant attraction, especially for Catholic visitors. The church has a rich history tied to the growth of Catholicism in Virginia and offers a welcoming atmosphere for parishioners and visitors alike. Known for its traditional Mass and music-oriented services, the church also boasts beautiful grounds including a Marian prayer garden.
+JMJ Very many fond memories of this Church. The parishioners are welcoming and hospitable. My visits afforded me the opportunity mainly to interact with fellow members of a lay apostolate called the Legion of Mary. Even though I wasn't able to participate in the Holy Mass, I was able to meet the priests at those Legion of Mary meetings. They were always inspiring in their spiritual talks given at meetings. The transcendental beauty of the Church surrounds those who enter into an atmosphere of peace, serenity. Also, there is a side Chapel devoted to private prayer and a visit with Jesus truly present in the Holy Sacrament of the Alta. If in the area, a visit paid, will be a visit full of blessings.

This church is a beautiful building that reminds me of European churches as it is ornate with stained glass windows, blue ceiling arches and an array of statues. I especially like the Stations of the Cross.
When I was there, Mass was packed, and the pews are comfortable. The Priest delivered a thoughtful sermon and greeted people as they left the building. One surprise was during Communion, parishoners knelt at the altar and the altar boy held a paton for those who wanted to receive in that way, like in the old days. I, however, stood to receive the sacrament as my knees are wobbly. The Priest did not object. I look forward to going back some day.
Beautiful church with a visiting priest that took his own time to meet with me when he could have been doing other things. Also has a Marian prayer garden and beautiful grounds.
Great traditional catholic church!
Beautiful old church we found during our walking tour. Loved the architecture.
Absolutely beautiful old church in downtown Staunton.
Beautiful church. More traditional Mass. Parking can be difficult, but there is plenty of on street parking in front. The new renovation made such a noticable difference. Friendly staff and parish. Easter service is simply STUNNING!!
It's the only Catholic Church within miles, but that doesn't mean they're lazy about their services. It's a very music-oriented church and expect the congregation to largely be above 50, but they are refreshingly welcoming to visitors while being homey at the same time. Easy to follow along for non-Catholics as well.
