St. Michael's Basilica, Minor basilica in Miramichi, Canada.

St. Michael's Basilica is located on Howard Street and built from sandstone blocks, with a copper-roofed spire and rows of marble-faced columns supporting a vaulted interior ceiling. The main worship space has galleries and a central altar illuminated by tall stained glass windows.

Construction of St. Michael's ran from 1903 to 1921, replacing an earlier church destroyed by fire in 1878. It served as the cathedral of the Diocese of Chatham, which covered northern New Brunswick, until the see moved to Bathurst in 1938. The church then became a proto-cathedral until Pope John Paul II elevated it to a minor basilica on 28 January 1989.

The parish drew Irish Catholics who arrived before the Great Famine and, in New Brunswick, faced exclusion from public office and the professions and a tithe to the Church of England. The church helped unite immigrants of all ethnic origins, and as late as the 1980s large numbers attended daily Mass during Lent. Its bells have long marked funerals, the Angelus, Easter and Christmas for the town.

The basilica is situated on Howard Street and has a spacious interior with good views from different vantage points. An attached museum displays exhibits about the building's history and the development of the surrounding area.

The bells ring for important events throughout the year and can be heard across a wide area of the city. Their sound across the Miramichi River is a familiar part of the local soundscape and community rhythm.
