About:
Story The Basilica of Regina Pacis is a Catholic parish church located in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, New York, part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. The church was dedicated in 1951, built as a votive shrine, forming a part of the Parish of St. Rosalia-Regina Pacis. It is considered the "Mother Church of Italian immigrants" of the diocese.The church was raised to the status of a minor basilica by Pope Benedict XVI in November 2012.HistoryIn May 1942, during the course of World War II, a vow was made by the entire congregation of St. Rosalia Parish to build a shrine dedicated to the Blessed Mother for the safe return of the men of the parish and country from the battlefields of the war and for a just and lasting peace.Ground was broken for the construction of the church on October 3, 1948, with the cornerstone being blessed on October 29 of the following year by Bishop Raymond Kearney, auxiliary bishop of the diocese. The church was completed in 1950, built in the style of the Italianate Renaissance Revival architecture, and an image of Mary was enthroned over the main altar. It was built entirely in marble from various parts of Italy, with two pulpits, after the manner of Italian cathedrals."We are a Catholic faith community who believes in God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - and who follows Christ's teaching of love and service. As a parish founded by immigrants, we recognize that we continue to be a multi-ethnic parish. We welcome everyone by ministering to their various needs and provide all with the opportunity to grow intellectually in Christ."
