The Basilica of Saint Mary – America’s first Basilica – is a stunning, sacred place designed in Beaux Arts style by French architect Emmanuel Masqueray. But The Basilica is more than an important architectural Landmark. It’s a center for the arts, refuge for those in need and a beacon of hope for our metropolitan area.
Please support the Building of Hope. Your gift to The Basilica Landmark will support our mission: Ensuring that The Basilica stands strong for its next 100 years and beyond. Our mission of preservation and restoration requires dedicated support so that generations to come will enjoy its beauty and ministries. Donate today!
