As the annual fall pilgrimage to western North Carolina begins, our churches along some of the state’s most scenic routes serve to amplify the beauty of God’s Country. With striking interiors, stained glass windows and sacred art – these churches invite visitors to stop in and experience the spiritual uplift a moment of reflection can bring.

From our newest parish, St. Jude near Gorges State Park in Sapphire, to one of our oldest, St. Lawrence Basilica in Asheville, these churches will elevate your visit – and your faith.

Many also offer historical and architectural significance within proximity of such natural treasures as Mount Mitchell, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Gorge and Sliding Rock.

This year, peak color is expected from the early October through early November, depending on elevations. Come see God’s grandeur – inside and out.
