Reviews of St Olaf Catholic Church - Downtown Minneapolis

Homeless? Hungry? Need Clothes, A form of identity (not legal for most things you may want like tobacco products etc anything requires an actual ID but may be able to get away with it considering it has your age on it.) Also adult shelter connect (ASC) can get you placed into shelters in Minneapolis or Saint Paul.

The Mass is beautifully offered here and engages the senses. I'm very impressed by and grateful for this community's outreach to the poor in the community. Attended Mass here while in town for a trade show at the nearby convention center. Thank you for welcoming me.

The people there were wonderful and very helpful

LinSue Lee

I went there to talk to someone, anyone who could help me find a job or a place to live. We talked to 3 people. They helped me with a calendar, people to call, paperwork for different places and people. Fantastic people and I appreciate the help.

Joseph Shlanta

Location and mass times are very convenient, but the experience at mass there is not the best

Derek Mohawk

Best people in the city. Real Angels

dianne spera

Vanessa Sue Long, Edgerton

The staff there were kind, helpful caring and took care of my needs. I appreciate the help of the people who genuinely cared. Thank you sincerely for your regards and kindness in my time of need, I do hope I can one day I give back what you gave to me which was such a blessing.

It's okay. I visited here for the Adult Shelter Connect. It beats sleeping outside. You get a community card I just haven't found any restaurants that accept it as payment lol. Once they do help someone find a place of there own or that person finds one on their own they should have to return the card. It's a bit strange that people who aren't homeless have a card.

They have a very well done facility, nice events and announcements concerning events, but a lot of the priests (except for Father Kennedy) keep rambling on about a bunch of random stuff that doesn't teach me anything about the scriptures they've read, like their life stories, and they don't even bother connecting said life stories very well to the scriptures they've read. On top of that, the whole mass lasts around an hour (I've been to a much more substantial and worthwhile online mass lasting only 25-30 minutes total), all in return for no effective results coming out of it maybe except some good prayer. Father Wehmann was also taking his sweet time waiting in between moments of silence longer than practically necessary and talking too long and passionately about irrelevant subjects just before concluding mass, like football season, both wasting my family's time and making us cringe at the way he ran mass (like could you please save that for when mass has actually ended and after you've walked out of the "mass room" , or whatever they call that room anyways??) So that's my long, brutally honest spheal about the positives and negatives about St. Olaf; the facility is good, but the priests, well, not so much, except for Father Kennedy, who unfortunately had to retire. (Hey, at least I went to his retirement party; that was fun!)

Therese Copeland

Nice inner city church People in it Father wayman says a nice mass I have felt / found he is not a priest who you can talk to Such as many priests churches these days Many never learned or don’t know how to be with , show compassion etc That being said I am RN who is blessed w compassion knows how to be with listen to and comfort I wish they would teach seminarians this! I do love how He honors Eucharist and ends the mass w special something - go snd see the last words are beautiful thanks father wayman

Libra Pederson

Quiet today but I got info about much needed free store where I can get clothing going to check it out now!

Stephen Kattie

Great church and great people. I feel good here compare to other churches where I felt my family and I were not welcomed. People from many countries and cultures gather here to pray. Jesus Christ laid his life for everyone of us.

Joseph Janik Miller

a fine experience for the dearly beloved during a tough time for us all. If you are a believer in the one true church, I am sure that you will enjoy your experience at St. Olaf

Jodi Keyes

A picture of Jesus Christ. I really like Saint Olaf Catholic Church. I like that they have shelter connect in the basement and that they truly care about the homeless. Feeding them bagels and pastries in the morning along with coffee. Helping people to find a place to stay. That's God's work right there.

Sandy Stoa

Wonderful church 😄. Also very friendly staff and understanding and laid back clergy. Pastor Fr Kevin Kenney is a very holy man! Listen to him and the others and BELIEVE!!! …

James Kirby

Great peaceful church. Open very early. Great sounding organs. Love the shelter for the homeless (was reading this in the reviews). Great way to start your day!

Christy Stutsman

Beautiful African Mass here! Our family likes to drive downtown a few times each year specifically to attend the African Mass (generally every 3rd Sunday of the month at noon). The African choir is spectacular with the bongo drums and pianist who has such a soulful voice. Songs in a variety of languages: Lingala, French, Igbo, Swahili, Sotho, Pidgin English, etc. 💕💕

Dolan Lee

This is a very inclusive church with excellent sermons and priests, and has an exemplary emergency and affordable housing program as part of its ministry

Myrtis Allotey

This is a very traditional church that tries to encourage a holy life and offers lunch time mass and confession right downtown. Great for travelers.

geraldine inyang

Great place to go. The staff are very friendly, helpful, caring and kind.

Jeff Gellerstedt

If your in need of a little help when you're homeless like I am they will go out of their way to make you feel like you're not alone in this world.

Cheryl W.

Attended a lunch for another church. St. Olaf staff prepared and served the meal. The space was plenty and the food was fabulous. The hospitality of the saint Olive staff what's the superb. St Olaf Catholic Church is a beautiful Church in downtown Minneapolis.

This church currently is home to the Adult Shelter Connect. You can get a Community Card here, which you need to access many homelessness/low-income resources in Minneapolis, such as The Catholic Charities Opportunity Center, AKA "The Branch".

Perfect location to get to Holy Days, Skyway access, church is good sized and beautiful, mass times are good, services are good, and the priests and staff always accessible.
