If I may ask, what records are you hoping to obtain? Churches are a good place for baptismal records and for very early birth/marriage/death records. But, for anything beyond the mid-1850's (and sometimes much earlier), you may do better to inquire at the comune's Stato Civile or Anagrafe office.

I have written to the Uffico di Stato Civile requeting records of my ancesters. I have some replies for them. I think I have to get the rest from church records. I need BIRTH, MARRIAGE, DEATH records .I wish there was some one ther to help me getting the church records of my family ancesters.

Ufficio dello Stato Civile should easily have birth/marriage/death records back into the 1870's and further depending on the comune. If they don't, there is a chance you are barking up the wrong tree (that is, researching in the wrong comune).
As for church records, your best bet for dealing with these is to hire a local genealogist/researcher. I know, expensive, but whereas comuni are required by law to provide these documents in a timely manner, success when dealing with churches is hit or miss.

Dear First Generation I hope you requested the documents in Italian language and not in English, The service is normally free but you have to submit one application for each document. Church records research can be unpredictable and can cost money in excess of $20.00 for each document since before the dollar took a nose dive it used to be considered $15.00 per document based upon the Mormon church advice.
I got records from the Stato di Civile allready. They don't seem to have the records of my family. I was told to write to the church in Tresilico and Oppido Mamertina,in the province of Reggio Calabria. Any tips on how and to whom to write to there?
Thanks ,
