Recognized as one of the finest examples of Beaux Arts architecture in the country, the Basilica of Saint Mary was constructed between 1907 and 1915. It's also the first Basilica in the United States, honored by Pope Pius XI in 1926 and it has also been named to the National Register of Historic Places. [Close]

Seek the well being of the city to which I have sent you. Pray for it to the Lord. For in seeking its well being you shall find your own. – Jeremiah 29:7
