Restoring Upstairs, Celebrating Downstairs
During the restoration, The Basilica’s primary worship space will be Teresa of Calcutta Hall (TOCH) on the lower level.
We will continue our regular Mass Schedule.
As we make this transition, we appreciate your patience and understanding. We will continue to provide updates on our website during the restoration.
Tours of the church are suspended until approximately April 2027.
Entrance and Exit
Attendee Entrance and Exit
To improve traffic flow, entry to the TOCH worship space is through the ground level doors (1 and 7).
To prevent delays when exiting, the moat doors (8, 10, 23, and 25) will serve as the primary exit and are exit only. Exit through the Art Gallery is discouraged, except for those who need to use the elevator for accessibility needs.
TOCH Usage
Teresa of Calcutta Hall will be dedicated as a sacred space for worship and will no longer be available for social gatherings during the restoration.
Outreach Ministry
The St. Vincent de Paul outreach ministry will move to the Cowley Center on April 7. The program will pause for two weeks to prepare for the move.
