There are many reasons for contributing to The Basilica Landmark… For gratitude for all that The Basilica has been, going back years before I joined, and now for its liturgies, preservation of the building and its inclusiveness. The Basilica Landmark will be around long after I am not and will continue to work for the improvement of The Basilica.
— Bernie, Heritage Society member
The Basilica Landmark is committed to preserving this historic place for future generations to enjoy and experience. Stewardship gifts from The Basilica’s parishioners fund the church’s programs, administrative costs and day-to-day expenses, but can’t cover annual maintenance needs.
Over 100 years old, The Basilica of Saint Mary and its campus buildings require regular upkeep, including much-needed renovation and preventative maintenance. Your gift to The Basilica Landmark will support our mission: Ensuring that The Basilica stands strong for its next 100 years and beyond.
