    We visited this church on a week day and was surprised to see the number of people who attend the mid day mass. Very close to the Premium Outlet Mall.

    While our group of 13 did not get to experience a mass at the Basilica, we did visit the church and also had a rosary at the Grotto under the stars. It was amazing!

    Beautiful and I was delighted that we were available to catch the tour on a Friday which was the only day the church was open when we were there. Well worth your time. I loved that he church had a greeter "docent" though I use the term loosely as the lady there the day we were there was very poorly trained. I imagine she was a volunteer so am thankful she was there but she didn't know how to oversee the group of tour goers at all. There happened to be a couple in our group of arrivals and the husband was very rude and started a one on one conversation with the "docent". He even positioned himself to block the rest of us from the docent's view though we were all there before him. At first we thought their conversation would end and that the guide would eventually address the rest of us again but that really never happened. We waited, waited and waited and after about 10 minutes we gave up and just walked around on our own. The guide was either rude or very poorly trained. I do admit the husband was really the one who was so rude that he ruined the experience for the rest of us but the guide needs to learn how to handle folks who have no manners. Still overall the church is magnificent and I would highly recommend visiting it.

    This is a great place to stop amongst the hustle and bustle of Duval St. The bright white exterior of the church against the blue sky is spectacular and the interior with its old wood ceiling and elaborate stained glass is worth a look. There is a small garden with places to sit and rest and get away from the noise of the street. If you enjoy old churches you should definitely visit - if you need a break or a little peace and quiet you should definitely visit as well.

    We were in the area visiting and attended the service at 8:30am. This was our first experience of a drive in church service and we were well pleased. This is nice for those traveling and not familiar with the church atmosphere, although there were locals in attendance as well. The concept is nice for those who may be a little shy about attending a church that they are not familiar with. The communion service was much appreciated. We visited on a beautiful morning when the temperatures were in the lower 70s and opening the car windows and feeling the nice ocean breeze just reminds us of God's amazing universe. Will attend again when back in the area.

    I visited the church’s second hand store. It is well organized and fairly priced. I specifically look for unique and different china and glass patterns. They always have a wide selection of manufacturers and patterns at more than fair prices.

    They also had a nice selection of decorator lamps. Some of the lamps would fall into the antique category, but most were contemporary. In comparison to buying new, it is a good way to tastefully decorate your home.

    Gesu Catholic Church in Miami, Florida, is significant for its important role in the religious history of the city and as a reflection of the city's growth and development. In addition, the buildings are excellent examples of religious architecture and noteworthy for the excellence of its design, craftsmanship and detailing. Located at 118 Northeast 2nd Street, at the corner of Northeast 1st Avenue and 2nd Street, it is the second sanctuary to serve the parish and the oldest Catholic church in South Florida, south of Tampa. The first church was built of wood in 1896 at a total cost of $3,600. By 1922, the wooden structure proved too small and the larger church we see today, which seats 800, was constructed with polychromed crystal leaded windows made in Germany and altars made of Italian marble. For over 100 years, the Jesuits have been much more than just sacramental. They welcomed soldiers and sailors returning from the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II and exiles from Cuba, Nicaragua and Haiti. For the last 42 years, the Gesu Senior Citizen Center has offered breakfast and lunch to the many seniors who come from all over Miami-Dade County. Many take advantage of the church's computer classroom with weekly classes and 26 computer places. The center also sponsors a flea market where donated clothing is sold at very low prices. Gesu Catholic Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

    I decided to get out of my and stretch my legs during the drive to Miami. This church came up after the Breakers Hotel and golf course. Most of the street parking was reserved for some reason so I found a spot off to the side to avoid any chances of getting a parking ticket.

    I spent just 15 minutes exploring the grounds as the church itself was closed. The church was built in the gothic revival style and housed one of the oldest congregations in Palm Beach. I found out that it also was a popular wedding location for former basketball star Michael Jordan and a recent ex-US President.

    I really enjoyed the garden area in the back. Very green and quiet.

    We visit NSB a few times a year. We always feel welcome here for services. The architecture and the main stained glass window alone warrant a visit.

    The Church of the Little Flower was established in 1926 by a small group of Catholics in the newly established town of Coral Gables. The new parish was named in honor of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, known as "The Little Flower" and a temporary church was built in 1928. A boarding school was established by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1925. They had plans to expand it but the crash of the Florida land boom spurned on by two hurricanes and the Great Depression cancelled their plans. The sisters signed the deed to the the school over to the church. The school was renamed the St. Theresa School and it became a parochial school for the parish.

    Father Thomas Comber, a missionary priest from Ireland, was charged with building the church. He envisioned something grand for the new church building but the lack of funds necessitated something more simple. The first church building was a parish center and auditorium that seated 800 and which was dedicated in 1928. It wasn't until 1951 that the present church got the ornate exterior that Father Comber desired. With the prosperity after WWII, Father Comber asked the Barry and Jay Company of Architects to build the church as he first envisioned it. The original 1920 plans were consulted and the church was built with stained glass windows designed by William Haley with the building in the ornate Spanish Renaissance style, to blend with the Mediterranean Revival architecture used by George Merrick when designing Coral Gables. The church was dedicated by Archbishop Joseph P. Hurley of Saint Augustine, Florida on December 8, 1952. It is still in use today. The church was renovated in 1987 and Comber Hall was renamed in honor of Rev. Msgr. Thomas P. Comber, Little Flower's first pastor. Also in 1987, a new rectory was built across the street.

    Today the Church of the Little Flower is a landmark in Coral Gables. In June 2019, Fr. Manny Alvarez was named the 9th Pastor of Church of the Little Flower and Saint Theresa School. The church has been associated with two presidential candidates, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush.
