" Cathedral Basilica"
Living in St. Louis, we are truly fortunate to have one of the premier Basilicas in the world. The construction of the Cathedral Basilica would begin in May of 1907 to the tune of $1.000.000. Which in today's standards would be paltry. Its construction would last approx. another 80yrs. The mosaics were installed by the German firm of August Wagner. The Cathedral was ready for consecration on June 29, 1926
