Pretty little church in the Smokies to go to if in the area on a Sunday! I believe two Masses were offered on Sundays. Many visitors so you won't feel out of place. Recommend!

We go to church here every time we are in the Smokies. They cater to the tourists, but keep the service very reverent. Small gift shop in the back is only open after Mass, and you can park there all day if you attend one of the services. The priests there have always been very nice.

The ONLY reason I bothered to go inside was because somehow it appears as one of the top ten attractions in Gatlinburg on this site. However the interior is about as plain as a hospital waiting room. Unless your local church resides in the basement of bowling alley, you will not be impressed.

The sevices are at reasonable times, and the people are very friendly. The church has religious items for sale and since this year I have a baptism, first communion, and confirmation, I decided to purchase gifts at the store. Wide selection.

We usually end up in the area either on a sunday or holy day, it is nice to have a parish that welcomes visitors and is easy to find. The parking can get full so either arrive early or walk if your accomadations are close by. Watch out though the neelers arent spaced enough to allow you to stand up... More

Comfortable and friendly. Priest was somewhat hard to understand. Mass started on time and length was appropriate,

Friendly congregation with free parking in lot, if you leave the Sunday Church bulletin visible in your car. On 7/29/12, we were able to buy very nice end solid oak end tables for a small donation (evidently house furniture was donated and they need to get rid of it).

Sad to say that I did not attend the church but I did appreciate their fee for parking- $5 with in and out allowed.

Nice mass. Free parking around service times if you attend mass. At other times they charge $5, which is reasonable for Gatlinburg.
