Peaceful and reflective. I'm not a Catholic, nor a believer but the calm I felt, thinking of my late husband of 41 years was overwhelming. It's such a beautiful building.
Beautiful basilica with stunning stained glass windows. A lovely grotto to Our Lady. Very peaceful, a place of comfort.
Built in 1909, the Sacred Heart Basilica is described as '... inspiring architecture that lifts the soul in the worship of God ...'. We were unable to enter the Basilica. However if you visit their website, there is a video of the interior. It was opened and consecrated in October 1911. It is truly a magnificent piece of architecture and history.
A place of praise and worship. ALL Believers are welcomed!
A must see. Beautiful place. Under major renovations & probably will not open for another few months.
