the historic and beautiful Basilica of Saint Mary of the Assumption. There are numerous reasons to make a visit. If you are Catholic; making a pilgrimage and participating in the celebration of Holy Mass or a prayer service, can strengthen your faith and help you grow spiritually.<\/p>\n

If you are an Orthodox, Protestant, or Evangelical Christian, making a visit is a way to learn more about your Roman Catholic brothers and sisters and how they worship God and express their Christian faith. The same holds true if you are a non-Christian. If your interest is art and architecture a visit to the basilica can be a rewarding experience, as the basilica is a fine example of American Gothic Architecture.<\/p>\n

No matter the reason for your visit, we are happy to receive you and share our spiritual home with you. May your time at the basilica bring you a glimpse of the transcendent and may you experience the welcome of God and His people.<\/p>\n
