About Saint Mary’s Catholic Church:
In 1789 Saint Mary’s Catholic Church became the first Catholic church to be established in Georgia and the Carolinas. The Church has been through rough times but has always survived.
You can admire the magnificent stained glass windows from the famous Mayer Glassworks of Munich, Germany. The organ is a Jardine pipe organ, built in 1874, and updated to take advantage of the wonderful acoustics of the Church.
