Thomas Merton once said, “Art enables
us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at
the same time,” and there are many places
here in Pasco, where we hope you will do
just that. Relax and get lost in the culture of
Pasco. There is something for everyone, from
talented musicians playing at restaurants
to dancers and performers in shows or art
galleries and even places where you can
create your own work of art.
A piece of Architectural art you need to be
sure to see is the Saint Leo Abbey, located
in St. Leo. It traces its beginnings to 1882
when Judge Edmund F. Dunne founded
the Catholic Colony of San Antonio. Sent
by Archabbot Boniface Wimmer, Father
Gerard Pilz, O.S.B., arrived in 1886 as the first
Benedictine in Florida. While you are in the
area, make your way to Downtown Dade
City to the Historic Courthouse. The
Georgian-style courthouse was built in 1909
for $34,860 and was recently restored.
Visitors may view common areas inside.
