This imposing structure is one of Southampton’s most beautiful landmarks. Built in 1908 of granite and marble in the Gothic Revival-style, it is a Minor Basilica of the Catholic Church. Its interior holds many marvels, all bathed in the light of stunning stained-glass windows from a studio in Innsbruck, Austria, where mosaic stations of the cross were also crafted. A 400-year-old pulpit is from France and the shamrocks in the arches are testimony to the Irish servants of the time, who would not work in the area if there were no place for Mass.
