St. Joseph's Basilica, Edmonton, Minor basilica and cathedral in downtown Edmonton, Canada

St. Joseph's Basilica is a Catholic minor basilica west of downtown Edmonton, the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Edmonton and the second-largest church in the city, seating about 1,100 people. Its 60 stained glass windows depict the Twelve Apostles, Old Testament figures, biblical scenes and the church's link to St. Albert, Alberta's first diocese.

Construction began in 1913 but faced interruptions during World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II until the building was completed in 1963. This extended construction period reflects the economic hardships and social challenges Edmonton experienced throughout the twentieth century.

The parish split from St. Joachim's in 1917, when English-speaking parishioners moved here and French speakers stayed behind. In 1951 it became the first parish in Canada to hold perpetual adoration, a practice ended after the 1980 arson fire. The Casavant Brothers organ, damaged by smoke and water, was sent to Quebec for cleaning.

The basilica stands west of downtown Edmonton and seats about 1,100 people. Since a 1980 arson fire ended its 24-hour open-door policy, visitors should check opening times before setting out rather than assume the doors are unlocked. The 60 stained glass windows, including the Twelve Apostles and scenes tied to St. Albert, are best examined from inside the nave.

In 1984 the building received special recognition when it was designated the first basilica west of Manitoba. This honor acknowledged the work of early missionaries and made this location symbolically significant in western Canadian Catholic history.
