St. Mary's
Catholic Church is High Hill's main attraction.
As one of Fayette County's Painted Churches, it has some of the
best examples of faux-finish woodwork and stained-glass.

elaborate faux marble columns and ceilings make this church one of
the ones not to miss.

I am also very familiar with St. Mary’s in High Hill as I have attending
mass there frequently as well. The rectory is on one side of the church
and the parish hall is on the other side. The cemetery at St. Mary’s
is directly behind the church. ... - Regards, Mike Osina, January
