Celebrating its first Mass on December 25, 1843, this striking Gothic Revival church is the longest-operating Catholic building in Mississippi. The ornate sanctuary, with its soaring deep-blue ceiling, prominent stained-glass windows, Carrara marble altars and delicate statuary, is simply breathtaking. Self-guided tour pamphlets are inside.
