Personal Narrative: The Holy Family Catholic Church

Recently, I attended the Holy Family Catholic Church, located on, 5125 S Apopka Vineland Rd, Orlando, FL 32819. I must say I did feel nervous, because this would be my first time in a catholic church; also I have not been to a church in general in several years. The scenery and the parking lot full of cars added to my nervousness. My first impression of the church was astonishing. I was persuaded that most of my attention was focused on how well put and maintained the quality of the church was. As I entered the church through the wooden doors, the inside was nice looking with colorful stained windows, different candles, and the huge portrayal of Christ on the cross. The architects and paintings inside the catholic church was a strong indication
of how holly and spotless the place was for worship. The attendance of Christ portrait made me feel more intact, as it was a good indication that the people had faith in Jesus Christ. As people entered the service, the hand shaking of the priest to everyone, brought a heartwarming welcome to the church and eliminated that nervous feeling I had of being a stranger in presence of an audience that was huge. The mass was pleasing. The chain of events reminded me of the ones I used to see on television, though there was inclusion of much kneeling, reading of prayers and beliefs that involved participation of the whole audience. I tried my best to participate and tried to keep on trend with everything and it really worked for me. The whole audience was so energetic and responsive to an extent that one (including myself), could not tell who was attending the church for the first time and who was an old member of the church.
