The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis’ Lord, Renew Your Church campaign

Sustaining the Cathedral of Saint Paul & Basilica of Saint Mary | $30 Million

The Cathedral of Saint Paul and the Basilica of Saint Mary are vital to the Church’s identity and unity, serving as beacons of faith and community. They provide continuity and stability, fostering a sense of belonging across generations. Essential renovations and upgrades are needed to preserve these iconic structures for future generations.

• $15 million will support the Cathedral in addressing critical infrastructure updates, conservation of sacred art, and functionality improvements, including bathroom upgrades, sacristy restoration and a comprehensive HVAC replacement.
• $15 million for the Basilica will focus on structural maintenance, including rebuilding the front entrance stairwells and refurbishing the world-class organ.

By investing in the renewal of the Cathedral of Saint Paul and the Basilica of Saint Mary, we honor the importance of cathedrals in the life of all dioceses and recognize them as important elements of our history and places where we can gather together as an Archdiocesan Church.
