Basilica of St. James, Minor basilica in Jamestown, North Dakota, United States.
The Gothic Revival church features twin towers reaching 125 feet high, with crosses covered in 23-carat gold leaf at their peaks.
In 1889, Pope Leo XIII established the Diocese of Jamestown, making the original St. James church building the cathedral for the new diocese.
The basilica maintains strong connections to the chair of Peter, celebrating this relationship during an annual feast on February 22.
The church offers Mass services on Saturdays at 5:00 PM and Sundays at 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM, with daily services Monday through Friday.
The pipe organ contains 1571 pipes arranged to preserve window visibility while maximizing sound quality throughout the church interior.
