St. Mary's Basilica in downtown Phoenix has had a long life serving parishioners over the years. It was founded in 1881 and in 1985 it was visited by Pope John Paul II who proclaimed it a minor basilica. It's historical significance was recognized in 1978 when it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is also one of the Phoenix Points of Pride. My 10 year old post is here.

That is a nice looking church
A nice built church, btw, the link doesn't work.
I am always attracted by churches to photography them.
It's a beauty and what a grew blue sky as a background.
Link isn't working for me either, Sharon!
I'm not sure what happened to the link but, I fixed it this morning. Thanks for letting me know.
That is a beauty!
This is a much better shot of it.
Saw the old pic and love the new one best! ;-)
The church is a beauty and so is this photo. I like it much better than the previous one.
Wow, beautiful architecture and I love the symmetry! Interesting too the contrast between old and new, with the modern highrise down the street.
The entrance is raised to give it grandeur, but that must make it hard on the infirm to get up there. (Must be an ADA compliant ramp out of sight.)
