    I enjoyed the 1100 am Sunday Mass here. This church is absolutely beautiful and is very historic. It was completed in 1852, and President JFK was married here. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

    Beautiful church with old world details such as a stand alone confessional with the priest in the middle and a place on either side of him for the parishioner to sit to give confession. Pews with numbers and names of parishioners and the time they attended Mass, hand carved wood detailing, and stone work.

    This is a gorgeous Gothic church and my home parish.we have a new younger priest now fr. Mark and he has now opened the church every day from 10 am to 2 pm I think it is when you can walk in and say a prayer and light a candle and take photos if you wish.

    ⛪Beautiful Architecture, Rich History, Welcoming Staff⛪ The oldest Parrish in the Diocese of Providence, St. Mary's was designated a National Historic Shrine on November 24, 1968. It is known among other things as the marriage place of JFK. If you love touring cathedrals and churches, St. Mary's is a must-see. The interior is gorgeous, and I've tried to capture the splendor with my camera. Of course, nothing compares to seeing it in person! The staff onsite are friendly, informative, and welcoming. They answered my questions and provided a place for me to leave my beverage while I went inside. I'd highly recommend the experience to everyone.

    We absolutely love St. Mary's and the welcoming feeling you receive when you attend. The church is filled with rich history, but more importantly a place to live your Faith freely

    Beautiful old church. Friendly greeters. The choir was talented and the service was meaningful and delivered well by the Father. I will attend again when I stay in Newport.

    The only road dedicated to an American president is Viale Kennedy in Naples. Was so happy to be at the church where they married

    If you are visiting Newport, you got to stop the visit the St. Mary’s church when JFK got married! It is a beautiful historical church.
