The Basilica’s original 1914 pews have been carefully removed and transported to a restoration workshop in St. Paul. As part of the comprehensive restoration, each pew will be repaired and refinished to preserve its historic character. Once completed, the pews will be reinstalled with improved spacing to enhance accessibility throughout the restored Basilica.
