St. Mary of the Seven Sorrows — Attraction in Nashville-Davidson

The music and the church is always beautiful and we aren't regular members but we go on Christmas Eve because they have a gorgeous mass but this time we left feeling very offended. It was horrible. The mass was beautiful until the gospel when the priest basically said you should go to church every Sunday and if you don't you need to go to confession and you won't be able to receive communion; he continued to say that if you are not 100% committed to the Catholic Church you aren't welcome.

St. Mary's Catholic Church in downtown Nashville is a remarkable southern Catholic parish that truly transports you—at Easter Sunday’s Latin Mass, I felt like I was attending a historic Boston church.

The service beautifully combined Latin songs and passages, accompanied by the rich smells and bells of a traditional Latin Mass, evoking centuries of faith and culture.
