Catholic church

[shipty2]

We will be in Key West on Christmas day and would like to attend mass if possible. Does anyone know if the Catholic church is within walking distance from the port? I have been to Key West before but never noticed the church.

Everything in Key West is theoretically within walking distance, depending on your physical abilities. See http://www.keywestcatholicparish.org/ for information about St. Mary's.

St. Mary's Star of The Sea is located on Truman at Windsor Lane which is roughly twelve blocks or so from Front St and you should be able to walk it in about 20 min or less. Taxis are also plentiful and cheap.

Let me add that St Mary Star of the Seas is a lovely church. All the side doors are left open for masses. When there is a good breeze, it wafts right through.

 

You should not miss the Lourdes-style grotto. At the start of hurricane season, many locals, even non-Catholics, light a acndle there to pray for hurricanes to avoid Key West.

 

There is also a cemetery near the grotto where some of the nuns from the past of the chruch are buried.
