I was visiting the area and went to 1:00 pm mass based on the reviews.Was quite disappointed by a priest, in his words, relaying a message from the Archbishop telling me who to vote for “If” I am a good catholic.Sickening

Love the Historic Churches.Wish I could have went inside,maybe attend a mass.It was Christmas and closed.

Beautiful church. Only wish one could go somewhere without being harassed about a mask.

** Very nice old world styled church **.... with wonderful pictorial colored glass windows, plenty of statues of favorite Saints and large altar. Church seems like something you would see in Southern Italy or Spain.

After 1 year of looking for a church to baptize my daughter I knew I found the one when I came to Gesu for the parent/godparent class. The father was amazing he was real and down to earth (he wasnt there to drill religion down your throat but to help you learn how to keep an eye on your growing child in the world). I had been to many other churches and the stained glass was the detail that won me over. A beautiful church to remember a beautiful day!Might I add that this church also gives back tremendously to the community by feeding the less fortunate real plates of food not just a yogurt or a sandwich.

Beautiful historic church with amazing stained glass windows and the Sacrament of Reconciliation available 3 times a day.

Most beautiful chatolic church in Miami

Amazing church. Full of old world charm with a youthful priest who gets it. Hes teamed up with a great mentor priest. The place is teeming with enthusiasm and fire for Christ and the people of Miami.

They don’t have enough money to feed their disadvantaged members with Publix gift cards during pandemic unlike most other churches in Miami.

Father Eddie is the best!

Beautiful church! I was impressed because it does not look like that from the outside view.

Miamis oldest Catholic Church. Fr. Alvarez has done an amazing restoration of the church. Definitely worth a visit.

INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE NAMES RAUL ALVA PRETELL,

Hidden gem in the middle of downtown Miami! When you walk in the smell of wood takes you back.

This is an historic church over 100 years old. This church was establish when Florida was a Spanish Colony. If you into history this is a church you should visit. I know the parking is free on Sunday for services. During the week I am not sure, so I suggest you call the rectory for further information on parking. Beside that its a beautiful church run by the Jesuit sect.

Oldest church in Miami and 3rd Oldest in Florida.

Open, clean, organized, peace, meditation and contemplation context!

Beautiful church. I love visiting this church during lunch time when I need a moment of peace, meditation, and ofcourse a nice talk with the Lord.Even if you are not catholic, take a moment, walk in and look at the beautiful painting on the roof.

BEAUTIFUL! Art work, most beautiful stainglass art windows in Miami. Parking in back. Masses in English and Spanish. Beautiful very elegant weddings can be done here. Right in the middle of downtown.

Good place to pray

It’s Beautiful church!!!

Sermon talked about us having to be perfect. Kind of shaming if you cant be..just sayin

I like because is bi-lingue no excuse.

Oldest church in Miami. Find true peace in these old walls. Support Farher Alvarez who works so hard to make this church a true community place of worship.

Loved it

It was gorgeously decorated for Christmas! Be sure not to miss visiting here if you are downtown.

When I am in the Church I feel peace

Extraordinary!Different amass in different languages on Sunday. Nice and cheap lunch.Beautiful all araund. Oh my God!!!

Excellent acoustics! Beautiful venue... Love to perform here!

Beautiful church! They have several masses in English and Spanish. It was within walking distance of our hotel. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott Brickell Area.

Beautiful Place! Great place to Pray

We had a middle night mass on December 25 was a blessing

The oldest Catholic Church of Miami. Great mass

Nice, historic Catholic Church

The nicest historical church in Miami. A definitely must see in the city!

A beautiful and peaceful place!

A great Christmas day Mass. Friendly parish

Beautiful catholic church . From outside looks like a normal building but when you come in side take your breath away. .Worth it to visit . Come earlier before english mass week days 12.30 and Sunday 11.30, and enjoy the present of the Lord

Lovely church, a gem. First catholic church in Miami. Daily Mass at 8am, 11am, and noon. Also confessions before each Mass.

The Jesuit Order of the Roman Catholic Church runs this historic site; the 1st RC Church in Miami. Parking - a City lot across the street. A wonderful spiritual oasis in the middle of busy downtown.

This is such a beautiful spaceGood energy here. If you come to mass on Sundays the parking lot on the Eastside of the church [behind] usually has free access.

Very nice church hidden in downtown

One of the oldest churches in south Florida. There is history, tradition, and caring Catholic priests serving both the indigent and business people that live and work in downtown Miami.

Best place for prayer. #pray4us #godhavemercy

Its the only place left that is open I think 7 days a week to allow one to enter a place of worship. Has many real good church services and allows you to sit and pray, light candles and purchase roseries with baby Jesus. So even If you are not Catholic and wish to have a rosery without Jesus on the cross. Because as a Presbyterian my cross is without Jesus because we believe on the 3rd day he arose and ascended into heaven. Thus we dont were the crucifix bearing him as I forementioned. The priests Ive encountered there. I think everyone loves that Church I have a freind in her seventies who has fond memories of her mother taking them to that Church to pray and light a candle and they were Pentecostle. My freind now attends the Methodist Church. I leave my Church service on Sundays and go there to commune with the holy spirit. The service at that time is in Spanish not my language. Its always well attended. Cant say the same for the early service at my Church. Gesu Church is truely the house of the Lord and welcomes everyone. I love that Church! No other Church I know offers so much time to worship!

Thank you jesus, I love to go church.

Historically one the old indian Americans homeland.. so spiritually blessed

Nice church

The best church in town.

This is such a beautiful church.

Always a solemn religious experience!Priests always deliver a stirring homily!

Beautiful Church and very spiritual Mass service. The priest gave a profound and inspirational homily for the commemoration of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth.

Great convinient times for mass and confes6

One of the very very few truly beautiful sanctuaries in Miami. Old school and exquisit!!

Historically significant to the area.

Its the most beautiful church in Miami area, almost 100 years old, thanks Father Alvarez for be the Pastor of a great and growing community in downtown Miami.

I love this church!

BEAUTIFUL with the history and restoration it is comforting, like God has His arms around you.

The church is beautiful.

Great church in Miami. The made mass in English or Spanish. The confess until the mass start and after the mass. You can find the detail and time table for mass and confession on the website

Great catholic community! Many children I didnt give it 5 stars because I never listened very to the priest!

Wonderful and beautiful. Oldest in South Florida since 1896. Fr. Eddy is a great compassionate pastor. Historic.

I called to hear the schedule for Ash Wednesday services.I was surprised to hear a recording that has not been revised, I have not been this this beautiful landmark, and in my humble opinion it deserves a well put together introduction.I can’t wait to walk through it’s door.s and listen to the mass even if I may not get. my ash cross this morning.

Beautifull arquitecture.

I love this church. I always come here for the Sunday mass.

Beautiful church to celebrate JESUS Christ, and find piece.

Oldest Church in Southern Florida

This is the first Church I visited when I came from Cuba in the 1960s . This Church is the Spiritual inspiration for me. My moral and spiritual support in the absence of both my Parents whom I loved so dearly!! I come to Mass every Sunday and I feel the presence of God in my Soul.

I like this church always prayer in peace

I was born in Miami my grandma went to Mass most every day. I would go downtown sometimes and attend mass in this beautiful Church I always felt close to God Im very spiritual I wanted to see if it was still there. Im in California now and I miss Miami Im very glad this beautiful church is still there

Beautiful church...

Beautiful church

This church is discriminating against handicap people. The church has no facility to help people in wheelchair go to mass. I made a phone call since my mother is handicap and was told that the only way is going thru the rectory and then take 2 steps, one elevator, walk to the church, two more steps up and then 2 steps down! mind you, the principal entrance has so many steps that no handicap will be able to attend any celebration at this church! incredible! a church that doesnt allow handicap so handicaps cannot attend mass! discrimination much? A FREAKING CHURCH!!! DONT YOU THINK THEY SHOULD TELL EVERYONE THAT GOES TO GET BAPTISM AT THIS CHURCH THAT THEY DONT HAVE FACILITIES FOR HANDICAP PEOPLE????? THEY HAVE THE MONEY - BAPTISM IS $300 IT IS NOT FREE!! HOW MUCH MONEY DO THEY NEED TO MAKE SOMETHING ACCESSIBLE TO HANDICAP???? THEY TAKE THIS MONEY BUT DO NOTHING ABOUT HANDICAP PEOPLE??? HYPOCRISY LIKE EVERY CATHOLIC CHURCH! WHEN THE SILENT GENERATION DIES, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL BE OVER!!!!

Ive visited Gesu Catholic Church quite a few times. I choose to go to the 8am service and really enjoyed the service. The parish is very welcoming and inviting.

Nice atmosphere beautiful church

Beautiful church and service loved it

Very nice

Real feeling in this space. Wanting to stay longer and longer. Peace is here when you pray.

Because I get fun
