St. Mary's Basilica, Phoenix

So So Beautiful! I was so Blessed to attended Holy Mass during the week here by accident. I did not know it was at 12pm. My Soul aches to return here again, for Holy Mass is so powerful you feel God's presence for sure. Thank you Lord Jesus for Loving us all while you took the cross.

Classic basilica in downtown Phoenix. Great Christmas mass. The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary (St. Mary’s Basilica) is the oldest Catholic parish in Phoenix and was the only Catholic parish in Phoenix until 1924. While on his American visit, His Holiness John Paul II (now Pope Saint John Paul II) visited St. Mary’s kneeling in prayer in the center aisle and speaking to the crowd from the balcony on September 14, 1987. The people of Phoenix voted St. Mary’s as a “Point of Pride” in the city in 1993.
