Catholic Mass for Florida travelers

Visiting Florida for a cruise or a theme park trip? Here are the Catholic churches closest to the places visitors go most, with drive times and regular weekend Mass times.

Pick where you are going

A Saturday evening vigil Mass counts for Sunday. Church law says a Mass in any Catholic rite on Sunday, or on the evening before, fulfills the obligation (canon 1248).

Christmas, Holy Week, Easter and other holy days have special schedules. Those are not on this page. The times here are regular weekend Masses, so check the parish website before a holiday visit.

How we measure

Drive times are for a car with no traffic, from the OSRM route planner on OpenStreetMap data (© OpenStreetMap contributors). Real trips often take longer. Mass times come from our parish data. Parishes in the Archdiocese of Miami are checked every week against the archdiocese directory. Times in other dioceses come from parish websites and are marked as not yet confirmed.

Parish schedules change. Check the parish website or call the parish before you go. Each church above links to its website when we have it.
