Our Mission

The Basilica of Saint Mary is a community rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Here we gather to celebrate faith, mourn, proclaim, serve, heal, learn, reflect, and form community. We join those who seek to be immersed in art and music. We join others in need of refuge, shelter and aid.
