I'd been totally that this is one of the biggest and most active parishes in the Diocese, and that absolutely seems to be the case. The parish has a whole compound with a school, office/rectory building and a church, with a vast parking lot in between them all.
I came here for a 5pm daily Mass a few weeks ago. There were a bunch of people in the congregation, not surprising given the time and the size of the parish. The Mass was slightly longer than usual, and the priest was young and very animated. There were also a couple of young altar servers, which I can only remember seeing at St. Augustine's previously. There was a concelebrating older priest with an absolutely wonderful Irish accent.

The main church has a low ceiling and white walls. It's warmly lit, thanks mainly to the gold/yellow color that predominates in the stained glass windows. I was here in between Sunday Masses, and they had music playing over the sound system as a couple of people prayed in the peace and quiet. The whole church building is a thoroughly pleasant, modern facility. This is clearly a great parish that's doing very well.
