Although The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis was completed in 1914, it was not consecrated until June 29, 1926. Also known as the “New Cathedral”, the building was designated a basilica by Pope John Paul II on April 4, 1997. Pope John Paul prayed and delivered a speech at the Cathedral during his St. Louis visit in January of 1999.
