If you are in Ocho Rios and want to go to Church we recommend this highly. Mass is at 1030 on Sundays (there is a Sat afternoon mass but do not know the time) You will be find the parishioners to be friendly and greet you warmly. Service is about 1hr 45 minutes but it is well worth it. If you are staying a resort you can take a taxi or car service and they will drop you off and pick you up. We have been to Our Lady of Fatima several times and it is a wonderful experience.

Definitely worth a stop. Lots of history here in a beautifully maintained sanctuary, although we were told that services are no longer held here. Ironically, although one has nothing to do with the other, it's within a few blocks of the Kingston prison. The Rodney Buildings and town square are also within a few blocks and there is a sign that chronicles the history of the area.

Well,I have always wanted to attend a Pentecostal service and this church was recommended to us by our hotel staff. Everyone is dressed in the bright Sunday best clothes,ladies with hats and bright coloured outfits men in suits and children in suits and brightly coloured dresses and shoes. We got there during the service and were welcomed with warm friendly smiles and shown to a pew right in the middle of the locals attending.We were welcomed by all. After the Sunday School service the main service starts.I found the service incredibly powerful and if I am honest I was left stunned. Then the choir joins in and yes it is everything you believe it will be. An amazing experience. Really glad that we attended,I would go again especially now that I know what to expect. We arrived just before 1100 and were picked up at 1200.Found this was just the right amount of time to experience it.

We visited on a Saturday and there were quite a few people in and around the Church. Lots of history and remarkable elements including the old pipe organ, very old altar and pews, ornate carvings, stained glass, and the outside cemetery. Make a contribution and say a prayer when you're there.
