Corpus Christi in Celebration is 10 minutes away from the property line and is really nice. Mary Queen of the Universe is like going to mass in an auditorium. Corpus Christi is easy to get to, there is on street parking and a lot. It's a local parish, very welcoming people. I prefer it over the other.

Mary Queen of the Universe is near the outlets. It is such a lovely church. Remember to make your 3 wishes when you visit a new church. That's what my Grandma always said. Happy Thanksgiving BTW.

I'm sorry...and I'm sure it's sacrilege, but the name of that church just makes me laugh. Queen of the Universe? That doesn't sound very Roman Catholic to me. It has a freaking gift shop. LOL
Be sure to Fastpass+ your Communion.

I'm glad you asked this -- I've always been a little surprised that local churches aren't easier to find. In the past, we've thought about hiring a cab just to take us to Sunday morning services (we're Protestant), but it's never materialized. (I checked the recommendations at http://www.wdwinfo.com/tips_for_touring/churchservices.htm and it looks like "Mary Queen of the Universe," mentioned by previous posters, is definitely the closest. I confess, had I not been told it was a church, I'd have thought Mary Queen of the Universe was a 70's movie in the style of Conan the Barbarian.)
This strays a bit off-topic, but for members of the Christian faith who can't make it to a WDW-area church but don't want to neglect their spiritual life on vacation, there are some great "vacation devotionals" for families that are available online (links below -- I'm sure there are similar resources for other faiths although I didn't look). We spend about 10 minutes each morning over breakfast in our hotel room doing one, and it's a great way to put everyone in the right frame of mind to start a Disney day.

I was thinking the same thing, I've had Queen's "Princes' of the Universe" stuck in my head ever since I started reading this.

Looks like they stopped that Worship thing......
Do some holidays now, for anyone else that looks....

you can check out masstimes.org for locations and times worlswide.
Just FYI Queen of the Universe is one of the titles of Mary. It is meant to be a shrine type church. It is huge but it needs to be some days. For anyone who ever attended Mass in the luau location at Polynesian, it is a magnificent change. Of course it is a 10 minute drive away.

I would imagine that any church popular enough to need a gift shop would have to be big.

The Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington , DC has a gift shop. It is a good place to find special rosaries and such.

And there's nothing more Christian and "Jesus" (used as an adjective) than a gift shop.The Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington , DC has a gift shop. It is a good place to find special rosaries and such.
