St. Finnan's Basilica, Minor basilica in Alexandria, Canada.

The Gothic Revival church features a stone exterior, pointed arches, and tall spires reaching toward the sky at the intersection of St Paul Street.

The construction of St. Finnan's occurred between 1883 and 1885 under architect William H. Hodson, with completion costs reaching 35,000 Canadian dollars.

The 1907 Casavant organ, known as opus 284, remains a central element for musical performances and religious ceremonies within the basilica.

The basilica stands at 72 St Paul Street in Alexandria, Ontario, operating as part of the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall for regular Catholic services.

Pope Francis elevated St. Finnan's to minor basilica status in 2021, making it one of three basilicas in the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall.
