Going inside The Basilica of Saint Mary renovation

Nearly 120 years ago, construction began on The Basilica of Saint Mary in downtown Minneapolis. Today, this landmark is undergoing a massive renovation. They're working on nearly everything from the ornate ceiling to the stained glass, the pews and even the organ is getting refreshed. This project started in 2024, and the interior portion is slated to be completed by March 2027, in time for Palm Sunday. Despite the scope of the project, the Basilica is still open for worshipping in the lower level.
