Saint Mary Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church

Saint Mary Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church, established in 1920, is affectionately known as the "Mother Church of Saint Petersburg." This architectural gem features a distinctive Byzantine-style Romanesque design, characterized by an octagonal, column-free floor plan and sixty-one stained glass windows that bathe the interior in a serene light. The church's rich history includes the founding of the Daystar Life Center in 1982, which continues to provide essential services to those in need. Staffed by the Franciscan Friars, Third Order Regular since 1988, the parish remains a vibrant community dedicated to worship and outreach. While the church has been immaculately maintained over the years, 2024 brought significant challenges with some of the area’s worst hurricanes to date. All Trades has answered the call to help with the damages and issues that the church faced as a result of the recent storms.
