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.
The grayish blue stone capping the buttresses and accenting the
brick was quarried from the nearby town of Muldoon.

Comment:
... 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,
