Basilica of our Lady of Perpetual Help, Labrador City, Minor basilica in Labrador City, Canada
The Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a modern religious building distinguished by its striking rock facade and prominent bell tower at the front. Inside and around the structure, three bells hang in the tower and mark the spiritual rhythm of the community.
The community began in 1959 with its first mass held in a mine garage before the current building was constructed in 1962. From these humble beginnings, it grew to become an important religious center for the region.
The basilica serves as a gathering place where the local Catholic community comes together for worship and important life events. Weddings, baptisms, and regular masses mark the rhythm of community life here.
The building is easy to spot and clearly marked within Labrador City's streetscape. Visitors should plan around regular service times and respect the space as an active place of worship.
The building earned its basilica designation through a papal decree in 2007, elevating its standing within the Diocese of Corner Brook. This honor reflects its growing importance as a religious landmark in the region.
