Lovely church, very friendly parishioners. Enjoyed the priests' homilies during daily mass. Very convenient to our B&B!

Lovely church, all decorated for the Christmas Holidays. A nice respite amid the KW experience.

“Great spiritual experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

Father John Baker is such a joy. His smile warms your heart not to mention his religious message. The church is historically breathtakingly beautiful! Stop by to visit the chapel and grotto too.

“You have to go, beautiful service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

We are Catholic and I was really looking forward to Mass at this Church, the history is wonderful and it is a beautiful expereince. If you are not Catholic, do not let that deter you - visit - it is beautiful!

“If you need a place to go to mass, this is a good place.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

As Catholics, weekly mass is not optional. We were in Key West for a wedding/vacation. The wedding was on Saturday afternoon, so we couldn't make the vigil mass as we do when we're home.

Sunday morning was beautiful. A perfect church morning. One of the priests came into the back of the church snapping his fingers. I was hooked.

As it turned out, he did not deliver the homily, but the priest who did was good. He was a fast talker, but he had a nifty message.

After church, the finger-snapping priest was outside greeting the parishioners. I waited my turn and snapped my fingers at him. He cracked up. Good service.
