Tranquility and a place to collect your thoughts.
St.Mary's Basilica is a classic Roman Catholic church and is a wonderful place to visit if you're in the downtown Phoenix area.
The stained glass,statutes, pipe organ, and high cathedral ceilings are spectacular. You have to see the stained glass to truly appreciate its beauty. The combination of stained glass and masonry construction will bring you back to another era. It reminds me of being back East and the time I spent traveling abroad .
The outside of St. Mary's Basilica is as beautiful as the inside. The garden is a picturess place to take a causal walk. The garden is shaded for those hot summer days, filled with varuous plants, trees, with a magnificent water fountain in the middle.
If your in the downtown Phoenix area and have some time stop by and enjoy the rich historic beauty of the Basilica.
