Mission:
To form joyful missionary disciples of Jesus Christ who transform hearts under the guidance of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Vision:
The Basilica of the Assumption is a historic and flourishing Roman Catholic parish. We exist to invite others into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; to form holy friendships in our community; to teach the Catholic faith; and to worship God with all our heart, mind, and soul. Each member of our parish cherishes:
As the first Catholic cathedral and a Marian National Shrine in the United States, the Basilica places all things under the maternal guidance of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Ad Iesum per Mariam.
