Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate, Guelph
Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate, Guelph, Minor basilica in Guelph, Canada.
The Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate is a church building in Guelph featuring two tall towers and a limestone exterior in the Gothic Revival style. Its facade displays pointed arch windows and intricate stone detailing that define this architectural approach.
Construction began in 1876 under architect Joseph Connolly and finished in 1888. The building received its official status as a minor basilica from the Catholic Church in 2014.
The basilica serves as a central gathering place for the local Catholic community during religious celebrations and daily worship. It holds deep meaning for parishioners and remains a focal point of faith in the city.
The building sits in downtown Guelph and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should check whether services or tours are happening, as these activities may affect access to the interior.
The basilica received papal permission to crown a Marian image in late 2019, with the actual crowning ceremony taking place in October 2022. This rare recognition added a new chapter to the building's spiritual significance.
