Wonderful church. Father Robert is an excellent inspirational orator well-versed in the meaning of Scripture. Go here. It will renew your faith in God and Jesus. Take the boardwalk through the forest behind the church to the bay: memorial garden and stations of the cross.

The altar painting is amazing. It feels like Jesus is looking directly at you as he breaks the bread. The Stations of the Cross are just a amazing.

The annual Royal Rummage Sale is an event not to be missed. Everything you could want or need- clothes, linens, housewares, collectibles, furniture, books... it's all here. It seems like all of Longboat Key shows up for this.

Lovely church with very welcoming priest and parishioners. Not a member, but always attend mass here when in town. The pastor is a great lecturer, explaining the day's readings in spiritual and historical contexts. He also promotes donations and assistance for the less fortunate parishes in the diocese, as well as the needy in the community. The music director has a beautiful voice and is a joy to listen to as she leads the congregation in hymns. Highly recommend for Catholics and non Catholics alike. A lovely way to start Sunday morning!
