It was such a beautiful church, so glad we got to see it. It is worth your time to find it, if you like church history.
We were in Key West for a long weekend of R&R. We went to Mass on Saturday evening. Not only was the priest very welcoming, so were the parishioners. The inside of the Basilica is beautiful as are the grounds outside. We walked through the outdoor stations of the cross area which was so peaceful. We really appreciated the fact...
