Catholic Church near Disney

Pooh Fan · 10-31-2005

Does anyone know where the closest Catholic church is to Disney? Usually when we are on vacation, DH feels like it is ok to miss mass, but considering the length of our trip, I think we need to go each Sunday and especially on Christmas morning. Also, if you know how to get there, I would apperciate any directions. We usually seem to get lost. Thanks for any help!

My Grandmother used to attend a mass in one of the resorts. I can't remember which it was and I never went with her

: but I can't remember which resort it was at i THINK it might have been at the Polynesian. hmm, I will have to research that for you. Unfortunately, she's since passed so I can't call her as ask but I am sure it must still go on.

I know there are church services on the grounds, but as far as an actual Catholic church, I am not sure. Do you have the unofficial guide? I think there is a section in there about worshipping while at the world.

Found it....

Sunday Services at Luau Cove at the Polynesian Resort Catholic Mass - 8am & 10:15am Protestant Service - 9am

There is a huge shrine not too far from Downtown Disney. Get there at least 45 mins early for a seat at Christmas.

I think I read that ended a couple of years ago but I'm not 100% sure.

Here is a link from Deb's site with some information on local services:

Thanks for making me feel guilty PoohFan, lol. We'll be there a month, and the same thing crossed my mind. According to the official guide, Mary,Queen of the Universe Shrine is 2 1/2 miles north of Lake Buena Vista, at 8300 Vineland Avenue. Call 407-239-6600 for mass times. (it's really close, we've passed it dozens of times on the way to SeaWorld or Universal). Disney no longer holds any religious services at the resorts.

**WishUponAStar** · 10-31-2005

Whoops, sorry for the outdated info, it didn't say it had ended or had a date on the site. Although, I know EXACTLY where that "Mary, Queen of the Universe" congregation is and it's HUGE!!! It is REALLY close to the Downtown Disney area, right there on I-4.

**ddoll** · 10-31-2005

Yes, they ended the masses at the Poly a few years back. But we're just as happy going to Mary Queen of the Universe anyway..it's much bigger. And it's pretty easy to get to.

Here's a link to their website:http://www.maryqueenoftheuniverse.org/
You may want to check back there later, as they may have a different schedule for Christmas than their normal weekly mass schedule.

And BTW, as you pass the entrance to the church grounds, you'll go past one of the best off property restaurants we've found: Bahama Breeze. Check it out!

Pooh Fan · 10-31-2005

Thanks everyone! Llama, sorry to make you feel guilty. We usually will miss Church while on vacation, but this one is so much longer that I just don't feel right missing that much. It is nice to know that there is one so close. I will also try to make time to check out that restaurant Ddoll. Thanks again everyone!

**MissDisney** · 11-01-2005

Maybe Disney will bring back Christmas mass? I think they should -- Maybe at Boardwalk Business Center in one of the big ballrooms! It would be easy for everyone, and out of the way of the parks and crowds... plus plenty of parking! I think I will write a letter... (where's my pen!)

Goofmeister · 11-02-2005

Last year they did do a wonderful Catholic mass at the Contempory for Easter. They actually did a wonderful job! Otherwise, we always go to Mary Q of U. It is also a sight to behold.

They do not do this any more. WE asked when we went in August. We now go to the Shrine, Mary Queen of the Universe, it is very beautiful and convient.

Baloo85 · 11-02-2005

I loved it when the Polynessian had mass...I even went to the Contemporary once...but now we have no choice but to go the shrine.
