We visited simply to make the midday Mass and we would have missed their AMAZING reliquary if not for a friendly parishioner who recognized us as out-of-towners. They have relics from several of the Apostles, and several other Saints, as well as a relic from...Read More

What a beautiful church with a magnificent atmosphere. We attended the Christmas Eve mass and it was so lovely. The music and sound inside transports you to a heavenly realm. This was our first time visiting and we were so glad we did.

Such a beautiful find. The pastor was very welcoming and informed us if we came two weeks later the scaffolding for the interior renovations would have been gone. Despite the scaffolding it was so beautiful! I wish we could have spent more time looking around,...Read More

We went on a Saturday and it was closed, but we did walk around the outside of the cathedral and it was beautiful.

Beautiful Architecture! It sits overlooking Downtown Roanoke. It was the first thing to catch my eye as we made our way into Downtown. Really worth the stop!

The facade of the church is so beautiful, and there's a great view from the top as you go down towards the parking lot, unfortunately all the doors were close and we weren't able to see the inside.

My family and I are members of the Bascilica community. The church itself is worth seeing if you have an interest in modern Christian architecture. Of the cruciform churches I have personally visited, its shape manages to enhance the experience of those who notice its...Read More

Gorgeous cathedral with amazing acoustics. Went to a concert, not a regular worship service, so I can't speak to the services.
