I take offense to the previous e-mail stating that positive reviews of this house of worship are less than factual. Everyone is welcomed who has God in their hearts. If you have feelings of ill will; those are of your own belief and accord. I enjoy coming here and appreciate the atmosphere of cordiality and christian worship.

So thankful to have had our wedding here. fr. ed did an amazing job making it personal and meaningful. the structure of the church allows for an intimate ceremony. Mary Ann and the staff all were so supportive along the way. we love this parish and look forward to the years and celebrations to come with it.

GOD BLESS!! ️️️️MUST MENTION THAT THIS ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH EXEMPLIFIES GOD’S WILL. EVERYONE INCLUDING FATHER O’RYAN, FATHER BENIOFF, AND MICHELLE FROM THE RECTORY/OFFICE HAVE BEEN THE MOST HELPFUL IN ORDERING MASSES FOR MY DECEASED FATHER. I CANNOT WANT TO GO BACK TO MASS THERE!! PRAISE BE TO GOD️️️️

Very serene gardens and the mass spoke to me. Very cool school associated with it as well. 90 years!

A great church with a home feel.There is a lot of history here in terms of fame, but there is a LOT more history here when it comes to family and friends.What a wonderful church.Five stars?This gets ten.George Vreeland Hill

Everything is superficial here, for a photo opp. Youd expect at least the Catholic Church in Beverly Hills would be down to earth. Read the reviews of those who are complaining instead of the fake positive ones that they posted recently on a campaign to make themselves look better. They were down to 3.5 stars and sinking.Theres so much turmoil and drama with the parish priest, the office staff, the volunteers and the way they all use rumors to destroy people. Find a different church where GOD and Faith are the focus, not pettiness

My experience of attending Church of the Good Shepherd over the past 4 years has been one of profound comfort and joy. The staff, especially Sister Virginia and Penny are consistently helpful and caring. Their RCIA program is excellent. Father Ed is a great priest. SO encouraging. To have all these attributes in one parish is impressive.Blessings !

Beautiful Catholic church in Beverly Hills. Christmas day service was wonderful! (Im not Catholic).

The best place to be for Easter Vigil.

Excellent mass and choir. Beautiful cathedral inside. Nice place for Christmas Eve service.

THE best choir and cantor we’ve ever heard, BUT also the yappiest Mass we’d ever been to! Visiting CA from out of state, we’d selected Good Shepherd for our Sunday worship. We arrived early and there was a buzz in the church as many of the parishioners were visiting with each other. That’s fine and all as it builds community, but they didn’t even try to keep it somewhat quiet for those coming early and wanting some quiet to prepare their hearts for the Word and Communion. The buzz increased as more people arrived, and it was more like we were at the theatre than in a worship space. It finally quieted down, but the congregation never seemed to settle into Mass. There was lots going on between pews, and I don’t mean just the understandable fussy children, but likewise inattentive adults. There was even a gentleman that was visiting, loudly, with someone in the pew behind him...post Communion! Couldn’t believe it! Someone WAS trying to shush the congregation from the back during Mass, but to no avail. I pray this community continues to get 5 star reviews, but for this more traditional family, we’ll seek quieter Masses when back in town. I humbly submit this critical review in a constructive manner.

Nice and peaceful Cathedral in the heart of BH.Beautiful Christmas Eve celebration

Awesome place Fr. Ed and Sis Virginia leads this Church with there atmost personalities while Fr. Bryan is recovering.Friendlies Church

Asked for help... emergency ....and they argued with me that I would not answer my phone on the middle...of it..this went on for days snd weeks..even now I called asking why they have not called me and they gave the excuse that I do not answer my phone again even though I am waiting all day .I would like to discuss this with a humanitarian person witin the church if their is any. I am upset and in shock and will not support any organization who is this abusive in the future when I get help to do my humanitarian work the way God gives me the wisdom to do in a loving way and not hateful as the energy this church is putting out. .

Most welcoming church, very welcoming to all people, great msg from Fr. Ed !!!!

This is a kind loving community. I would encourage anyone to come to Mass here. The choir is Academy Award worthy. Father Ed is a gift to GS. Visitors are welcome with open arms.

It was a wonderful night with the Good Shepherd School students performing Christmas carols

Try to visit this place and nice place to walk around

I wanna make this clear. Tbe first thing i did that was associated with church was say a Hail Mary & an Our Father. Just sat in silence for another hour.From what ive seen....the church attendees are very nice & the church staff includirng the priest really are lax. It seems like they understand that they are the last line of defense when it comes to human decency.When all else fails, the Catholic Church should be always known & understood as a place where no matter who you are l or 2hat your going through, love will be the only thing you feel when walking through those church doors.

Theres a lot of history to this church with its location and who has attended over the years. Worth a visit if youre in the area.

Beautiful church!

I like exploring new places and while walking at a park I saw that this church was near by.

Very Holy place. One can feel the presence of The Holy Spirit.

Good Shepherd is a beautiful and welcoming place to attend services.

The biggest, The best tasting free breakfast every friday morning in all los Angeles county. Thank u.

Father Ed is a FANTASTIC pastor with excellent sermons.

I had my doubts about attending mass in Beverly Hills, I didnt want to deal with stuck up people and all the stereotypes the rich have, but I gave it a chance. From the moment I first set foot in the church I truely felt like I was coming home. We have no other family in the area and The Church of the Good Shepherd is where I feel like I am welcome, accepted and wanted. My family has nothing in common with other people in the parish, other than being Catholic, but I dont feel any of that at the church or the socials we have attended. We have tried many, many other Catholic perishes in the area, and across the country, and this is the best (other than the Church I grew up in). Father Eds homilies are always relevant and on point. Other Priests who hold mass from time to time are also relevant and bring the readings to today and relating to everyday life. Unfortunately Father Ed and Michelle are not able to stay on top of everything at every moment right now due to a very small staff and other responsibilities in the diocese. If you attend Mass you can be sure to feel the presence of Christ and come away with some ideas and understanding of how Christ is present and working and how you can make your life more relevant to following Christ. Any negative reviews can be reconsidered by trying to be more Christ like and filling in where the church is lacking to make the community more whole. You will not be disappointed in mass or the presence of Christ at the church. Everything outside of mass at a Catholic Church is a group project and takes participation from the community, if you see a need than fill it to make it better rather than criticizing and trying to turn others away. God Bless

A beautiful church that welcomes all.George Vreeland Hill

Another great Church to worship God.

Yes, the pastors sermon runs strong as usual.

The place has never been the same since the elephant showed up...& we have to pretend the elephant isnt there. ...pray for whatever ...cant even put it together in an intelligible sentence... maybe thats what a groan a prayer is all about

A beautiful place of worship. Both the parish council and congregation are very friendly. Also a church steeped in Hollywood lore and history.This is an update. Please dont mind any criticism. This church has meant the world to me since I first attended services in 1973. I plan on returning to the city when I retire and hope to become a member of the congregation.All my love to God, this church and this city.

My Lord is always there for me in the Tabernacle

Great church with solid citizens

Conservative but friendly church. Always feel welcomed and warm in this community.

I had the pleasure of conducting the baptism of my newborn at the Good Shepherd Church and found the experience intimate, meaningful and very professional. The administrative staff did a wonderful job handling protocols & logistics. Father Ed Benioff if a wonderful leader, with deep appreciation of his congregation and of the service his profession entails. I would highly recommend the Church of Good Shepherd for members of the Catholic faith and newcomers.

Christ

Its a great place to worship God.

A good place to worship

Beautiful Chirch and the Staff is Wonderful!!

One day I will build Jedi temple and Jedi religion I swear

A place to relax & Meditated @ Beverly Hills.

Awesome Church Sunday mass 8:30am

I have been going to Church here since 1980.....it is a wonderful family church...love all the special services

Great pastor, beautiful music, good community.

I called in during the week to set up a wedding date. A woman named Michelle had answered the phone and set up an appointment to meet with A Father Ed. We went in on a Saturday, my fiancee and I to meet Father Ed to set up our wedding and date and to learn more about the church experience. Needless to say 2 weeks went by and we were waiting for Father Ed to get back to us on a few SIMPLE questions. I had called in because no one was responding to us. I had gotten Michelle back on the phone inquiring about the date we set with Father Ed as well as the unanswered questions from our first meeting. Michelle took my information and instructed me that she would be speaking with Father Ed after he got in AFTER 12 and she would then circle back with me on feedback. So, TWO days later I called back again for a 3rd time, still unaware of where my fiance and I stood with our Wedding date and our meeting with Father Ed. Michelle now picked up the phone and said Why are you calling!, I told you I would get back with you when I hear something.. Now 4 weeks have transpired and still no response from anyone at this point. My poor sweet fiance called in and asked if she could speak Michelle. Michelle now at this screened her call and told the gentleman through the phone she has not heard anything and why are we calling back?I urge anyone who is looking to find a church to call home, this is not the place. If you are looking for a Priest or front parish with INTEGRITY. This is not the place to call home. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CHURCH. They are the reason our Catholic church has a bad name, people like this who are careless. I am disappointed in this place Father Ed, Michelle and those in that parish that they do not take their roles more serious. I want people everywhere to know what the experience is like in this place, a Catholic born and raised that people. This is a careless Lot. You should be ashamed to call yourself a CHRISTIAN. By the way look at the other manufactured reviews included here they have no substance. Is this church employing people to post a review in their behalf??? WOW!!from a concerned Born and raised Catholic who has spent his entire life apart of the St. Cyrils parish

Great services!

Nicest Most Caring Church Leaders

Been going there for years odd and on.

Attended first Friday mass from 12 noon to 12:30 PM. Walking distance from BH offices.

Its rating is for the lawn and exterior maintenance.

Tha mass are good

Very warm and welcoming.

Beautiful church

Very nice people

Nice small and diverse parish

Beautiful and peaceful place !!!!

A beautiful church and I don´t see some contradiction between and be a Church inside rich place. I believe that the riches do not take away the deserving to be Christian, since that not let be slave of money.

This place is awful! Tried to call the place to inquire about getting a schedule for my babys baptismal rights. Worst service ever! I would have gotten a better response from a satanic cult than from this place. They called me names and mocked my race. I wouldnt call them a catholic church, a true catholic wouldnt have that kind of tongue. Stay away from this place if I were you.

A beautiful church outside and inside. There seems to be something about the feel of the community that makes you wanna be part of it.

Our Lady of Cadillacs is the celebrity catholic church in Beverly Hills

Nice Shepherd .

Magnificent architecture.

I love the solemnity of the mass especially last Christmas...more power.

Beautiful church

I visited los angeles in 2003. I went to beverly hills and stepped inside the church of good sheperd. I am talking about a beautiful parish.
