Catholic Church near Disney

[paper1225]

I am not sure where to post this question-hopefully this area will give me a response! We will be at Disney for Christmas and want to go to church on Christmas eve. I think I have read somewhere that disney will have a non denominational service on the resort area somewhere, but I am looking for a Catholic Church close to the resort-any suggestions? Names would be great so I can do a web search and find mass times!
There is a shrine of some sort off of I-4 that I remember seeing before, I think right by the Dixie Stampede-is this a Catholic Church? We have never stopped there.
thanks!

Bear in mind, however, that Christmas Eve (as with Easter services) is an extremely popular and busy mass (read: a lot of people). Make sure you allot enough time to get there and find a spot to park.

The Shrine is very good about crowds and crowd control in general, but it always makes sense to give yourself some extra time ...

Are there any shuttles to mass from WDW resorts and if so, how much do they cost? Are reservations needed?

Does anyone recall what time their masses are on Christmas Eve? (Besides midnight mass) Thanks!

Remember back in the day they used to have mass at the Poly where the luau is? I wonder why they dont do that anymore.

They explain what happened quite nicely here http://www.maryqueenoftheuniverse.org/disneymass.html .

There is a Mass on Christmas Day in the ballroom at the Contemporary. We have attended the last 2 Christmas Days & it was very nice. We also enjoy Mass at the Shrine.

I do remember attending Mass at the Polynesian.

During mass at the Contemporary this last Christmas-the Priest let us know that Disney only allows them to come on Easter and Christmas, it was sort of comical, he also told us that if we would like to see different then speak with Disney!
