    Ave Maria Catholic Parish is a fabulous Traditional Catholic Parish and high growth golf cart community with an Academy for your youngsters and an incredible college with an excellent law school and marketing college. Further the Knights of Columbus and Knights on Bikes of Ave Maria Parish are always involved in local fundraisers for the needy and poor. It's a very active Knights Of Columbus community. The Church is in the center of town and is a very modern/ contemporary version of the Old School Basilica. The interior design space is steel beams and arches and also has an incredible choir. 10AM Mass on Sunday morning...is my favorite. Adjacent to the church are several great restaurants...The Pub in Ave Maria, The Bean...next door behind the sacristy of the church, Lozanos Mexican restaurant and the Oasis are across the street...a couple of smoothie shops and the Oil well Brewery....next to the gas station. The town of Ave Maria is the fastest growing area in Florida. Homes range from 300 K to a couple million. Rental property is available. There's a water park...Fabulous outdoor entertainment and multiple Golf courses. if you're thinking of moving to a self sustaining town with great local services and a Publix food store and no crime...You found it...about 40 minutes East of Old Naples and the Paradise Gulf Coast ( Great Sunsets)and Naples Florida is an incredibly upscale place...Roughly ranked 7th in per capita income for all US. Cities... About 1 hour and 30 minutes from downtown Miami. What more can I say about Paradise...Check it out and safe travel Blessings in the meantime JMAC 😉🇨🇮😎

    As traveling Catholics (taking in the Everglades) we stopped by at Ave Maria out of curiosity. The church really is spectacular. It's a very modern architectural design but it is both beautiful and reverent - not like some of our modern churches that look quite ugly and are all about function over form. Take a look - the town itself is an interesting project and well worth a visit.

    Glory to God! Christ has Risen! And Hail Mary, Full of Grace! This is a beautiful church and temple that completes the town of Ave Maria. If you wanna come here for Mass or even Latin Mass Sundays @12pm come! If you wanna come for a family weekend. Come! If you wanna come for a silent retreat from the noise of society & the world. Come! If you wanna have an encounter with God. Come!

    Ave Maria Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Ave Maria, Florida. The church was built in 2008 by the Ave Maria Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Tom Monaghan, the founder of Domino's Pizza. The community of Ave Maria is a planned community with a population of approximately 2,500 people. The community is known for its commitment to Catholic values and its focus on family life. The architect of Ave Maria Church is the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Calatrava is known for his innovative and futuristic designs. The church is a blend of modern and traditional elements, with a soaring nave and a large dome. The church is a popular destination for weddings, baptisms, and other religious ceremonies. One interesting anecdote about the church is that it was built using a special construction system called "prefabricated concrete." This system allows for the rapid construction of large buildings. Ave Maria Church is located in the heart of the Ave Maria community. It is surrounded by a variety of restaurants and shops, including the Ave Maria University Bookstore, the Ave Maria Bakery, and the Ave Maria Cafe. The most important ceremonies celebrated at Ave Maria Church are the annual Christmas Eve Mass and the Easter Vigil. The church also hosts a variety of other religious events throughout the year, including concerts, plays, and festivals. Ave Maria Church is a beautiful and inspiring place of worship. It is a testament to the commitment of the Ave Maria Foundation to creating a community that is both Catholic and vibrant.

    We had a one-hour tour of the Ave Maria Catholic Parish Church with Bob, a very knowledgeable guide there. Very interesting story of the church's construction, the meaning behind the architectural details and more. Worthwhile tour, we recommend it along with the free trolley tour of the town.

    This gorgeous small city is a very family friendly place. Great communities to live in. An amazing beautiful Catholic church. The church building is precious and you can find Mass services in different schedules (English, Spanish or Latin). The city also has a religious gift shop, restaurants, cafés, Publix, and more. Many activities and events all year long.

    Was there for TLM and a Baptism. Fr. Joseph is a wonderful priest! The parish is vibrant and many families go there with their children of all ages. It's well situated in the town and nearby parking is abundant. Stop by the Pub or The Bean afterwards for brunch or just a coffee!

    The church is at the center of the town/residential areas. Peaceful place with hymns playing on the background. It’s surrounded by a few places to eat and other commercial establishments. Parking is easily available. There’s a coffee place that I really liked. The burgers at the pub were great as well.

    One of the most beautiful churches we've seen. The outside grounds and city are a piece of the picture.

    I HAD THE PLEASURE OF FIND THIS CHURCH, I SAW AVE MARIA, I STARTED DRIVING THERE. THIS HOLLY CHURCH IS GORGEOUS...SO PEACEFULL, BEEN HERE TO MANY TIMES. IT'S A BLESSING TO FING A CATHOLIC CHURCH ON MY VACATIONS AND BE WITH GOD FIRST THAN ANYTHING.

    One of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen since I moved down south from New York. And they also have one of the most beautiful Catholic stores right across the street from the Church. ❤😇🙏

    This is a beautiful church and whenever I go to Ave Maria, there is a peacefulness in this place. Attended a wonderful Latin festival with great music and food. The sanctuary was a wonderful respite to meditate and reflect.

    We went for an Anniversary trip with the family. All the people were very friendly and helpful. It's absolutely beautiful there but the gnats were a nuisance. Despite being there in early afternoon, the St Mother Theresa Museum wasn't open that day which was disappointing. The church was amazing as one would expect and the detail of the statues was impressive. Looks like an awesome place to live, work, and or visit.

    A beautiful church, inside and out. We went there to see Scott Hahn. The grounds are inaccurate and the church sits in the town square. If live to see a mad there. I'd also like to find out what the shape is supposed to represent. It has an organ that fills the church with beautiful music. Not something we see very often anymore.

    This is an awesome church structure. It is a must see from Naples, or Ft Meyers or even Marco Island. Not only a church but a hurricane safe evacuation point. The Town of Ave Maria is centered around the church. The outside sculpture is awesome and the inside stations of the cross were a perfect fit for those found in Michigan and were not lost to a demolition. You need to visit to see how the church is positioned on the site and why. Also see what they did with the steel on site, and when will the rosemary Window be illuminated by the sunrise?

    I'm not religious but went to appreciate the building. It's pretty neat inside and out. Worth a look

    What a beautiful Catholic Church in an amazing little town of Ave Maria. Located in the east side of Collier County below the town of Immokalee.

    We took our daughter for the first time to this church. She loved it. Majestic and beautiful construction. People inside were very friendly and helpful with every question we had.

    Very nice even though I'm not catholic. You can sponsor a brick on yhe front walk, like Dominos did.

  • 5/5 Harold Hishon (. 1 year ago on Google
    Liked it so much, I bought in a Del Web community. So much in amenities available for homeowners, and it's "Quiet" and gated.

    Absolutely beautiful Church in such a peaceful setting. Great setting for University students. Wish I was young enough to go to College again. Golf is awesome too.

    My brother and his wife live here and I love visiting. So beautiful. The little downtown is perfect for a stop at a Cafe or visit a great consignment shop newly opened. The church is beautiful!

    I am not Roman Catholic but this is one of my favorite churches. It is a gem, quiet, peaceful, and we will always visit when we get a chance. It is worth the drive. In a nice neighborhood with friendly people and safe.

👍👍 Beam me up Scotty! Is it just me, or does the facade of this super modern Roman Catholic Church look strikingly similar to the logo emblem of Star Trek? Hmmm... ? Maybe. In any case, its a beautiful church. The design is so modern and unique. The steel beams rise and open above the main sanctu...
