INTERIOR OF CHURCH AT TYBF.E—Familiar to Catholics from
all parts of the State of Georgia who have enjoyed vacations at
Savannah Beach, is the interior of St. Michael’s Church, where

Masses which are offered in the church on Sundays and Holydays
during the summer months. As quite a number of Catholics reside
at Savannah Beach the whole year round, Mass is celebrated at St.
Michael’s during the week and on Sunday throughout the year.
