Morning Tattoo,

The church I know of is called Mary Gate of Heaven. It's a Catholic church and the priest there is called Fr. Jim Bok. I know Fr. Bok personally and can say that he is not only a wonderful priest but he's a very kind, generous and has a fun loving spirit This is church involved with St. Anthony's Soup Kitchen, Get Kids to School program, Wise Choice Tutoring.... among others! They do an amazing job helping those less fortunate in the community.

I have heard many visitors say they make a point of going to this church to hear Fr. Bok's sermon. I highly recommend attending!
The church is located on the Beach Road directly across from Coco-la-Palm. Sunday service is at 10am. I believe there are also services at 8am Monday - Thursday.

Have a blessed day!
St. Anthony's Kitchen
