Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church

About this church

Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church in Sarasota celebrates a Saturday vigil Mass at 4:00 p.m. and Sunday Masses at 8:00 and 10:00 a.m.; the Rosary begins thirty minutes before each. Daily Mass is offered Monday through Saturday at 8:00 a.m., also preceded by the Rosary. Confession is available Saturdays from 3:00 to 3:45. The parish publishes additional devotions, including Monday-evening and first-Saturday holy hours, so the full Mass-times page is more useful than a Sunday-only listing.

The Catholic parish traces its origins to a 1959 Mass at Trailer Estates Auditorium and has grown into a congregation with extensive devotional and service ministries. Hospitality volunteers welcome people at weekend liturgies, while altar servers, arts and environment, and the Secular Franciscan fraternity offer distinct forms of participation. A St. Padre Pio shrine is incorporated into monthly devotion: after the final Saturday vigil of each month, a procession carries a banner and relic to the shrine for prayer. Newcomers seeking the least crowded option can compare the vigil and two Sunday liturgies; anyone seeking reconciliation should arrive before the Saturday Mass.
