Saint Francis de Sales Catholic Church — Attraction in Miami Beach

My husband and I attend the Sunday 8 AM Mass. We usually sit in the second or third row on the left (looking at the alter). You can’t miss us: I’m a short blond and my husband is a tall African American stud muffin. 🤗 You will usually seeing us serving as well: he is a lector (very good one!) & occasional Eucharistic Minister, and I am a Eucharistic Minister and Lector occasionally. The church is located in South Beach so if you’re vacationing, we invite you to our humble church. We love visitors. And if you live in the neighborhood, we welcome you as well, regardless of your religion. The more the merrier! I invite you to please come say hi and introduce yourself to us! We love our Priest, Fr Gabriel. He is an incredible human and has a great sense of humor. He also gives great homilies. We also have several “regular” visiting Priests. Some of our favorites include: Monsignor, Fr Kent, & Fr Joe Morton. Our church also offers opportunities to get involved in various ministries, religious education, services for Sacraments, & our active young adult community. I invite you to come check out our incredible church! Everyone is...

When my husband and I moved to the area, one of the main things we missed the most was our church Our Lady of Lourdes. After attending a couple churches nearby, we came to St. Francis de Sales… what a game changer! We felt back at home in this church. Not one time I have not felt recharged in the Glory of our Father after attending mass. We go to 11am mass and the only thing stopping us is either we are traveling or may not be able to attend if sick and if this is the case, you can join in by watching live mass in YouTube or the church website. Father Daniel is my absolute favorite❤️, May God continue to bless him for many more years so he can continue blessings us. There is another younger tall priest (don’t know his name) who gives mass once in a while and wow is all I can say, his homily is one of the best too! Come by...

I live this church. It's plenty of peace. Every Sunday if possible I go to the mass . I usually seat in the back last 2 rows BUT one month ago or 2 the helping people from the church decide the last 2 rows stayed reserved for old people or special people. However when it is not reserved if and old people or special family with stroll needed the seat the people seated moved without problem BUT The most of the time it stand empty. And didn't allow the people to seat . I think is not good idea the church is a sacred place far away personal rules. Freedom to seat is the minimum we hope in the church. Another people comment this absurd and personal rule!!! The archidiocesis must know...
