Saint Thomas Korean Catholic Center

A vibrant and welcoming Korean community. I enjoyed Father Dominic Chai’s first mass on June 15. What a delight!

This is the largest Korean Catholic Church in Southern California when considering the capacity of parishioners it can accommodate within its premises. They underwent renovations after my departure from California in 2000. Whenever I am in Orange County to visit family, I make it a point to attend Mass at this church. The church is splendid, roomy, and invokes a sense of devotion when praying before the tabernacle. The cantor's melodic voice adds to the reverent atmosphere during the Mass. Despite the circumstances in society, relationships among people, and church leadership, I believe it's crucial for us to continue attending church to worship the Lord. This practice fuels our spiritual growth, provides meaning to life, and paves the way for salvation, for Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

Going there to participate in Table Tennis with other adults and take private 1/2 hour coaching lessons with a competent excellent and patient English/ German speaking coach used by many of the Korean players. The seats of the sanctuary are removed and tables take their place. So ceilings are very high, the lighting is great and the room is air conditioned. Play times are Tuesday 1pm-5pm and Sunday 2pm-6 pm. In addition, I pay an annual facility fee of $100. I do not know if lessons can be taken without paying the additional fee. But feel practice/play time is important. And the coach can also observe my technique between intervals of his coaching other players. Those things are important for me to speed along my progress. There is a ping-pong robot and two other free to use tables each with a basket full of practice balls.

Best korean Catholic church in U.S. Cinvenient access from I5 and 91 fway and parking lot is spacious. Provide a variety of programs for all generations year round. July 4th Bbq party and October Fest are real fun

Lots of parking and huge halls, goot sounds system and holy atmosphere🙏

I am not too comfortable with fancy indoor decorations in catholic centers. But I still see some places to upgrade a bit... still not so comfortable 😕..
