St. Mary's Basilica was designed by New Zealand architect Francis Petre and opened in 1905. It is listed as a Category I Historic Place. The building is not a minor basilica in Roman Catholic terms; its name refers to its architectural style. It serves the Catholic community of the Invercargill area, part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dunedin.

The name "basilica" here refers to the building's architectural style, not to a papal title: the church is not a minor basilica. It serves the Catholic community of the Invercargill area as part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dunedin, and Mass is still held in the building.

The basilica stands on Tyne Street, close to St Joseph's School, the Otepuni Gardens and Te Tomairangi Marae, so it can be combined with a walk through those grounds. It serves the Catholic community of the Invercargill area within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dunedin, so check Mass times before visiting.

Despite its name, St. Mary's Basilica is not a minor basilica in Roman Catholic terms; the title refers to its architectural style. The 37-metre building is a Category I Historic Place, and it has been called the "prettiest church in Australasia".
