About Basilica of St. Mary
The Basilica of St. Mary in Natchez, Mississippi is the "Mother Church of Mississippi Catholicism," tracing its roots to a French parish established in 1722 on land where Robert de la Salle celebrated the first documented Mass in the region in 1682. Its Gothic Revival church, consecrated in 1886, served as the cathedral of the Diocese of Natchez for over a century before being elevated to a basilica; today it offers daily Mass and a solemn Sunday celebration under the care of Very Reverend Aaron M. Williams.
