Description

Completed in 1905, the Saint Vincent Basilica has served as a symbol of the evangelization efforts of Saint Vincent founder Archabbot Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B., for one hundred years. Archabbot Wimmer arrived in Latrobe, Pennsylvania in 1846. It had been his dream to someday build a magnificent church, but construction on the Basilica was not begun until 1891, four years after Wimmer’s death.

This special commemorative book is also a collector’s edition with pictures never-before published, as well as large format photography that captures the Basilica’s grandeur. This book pulls together the history of the Basilica and Saint Vincent Parish, along with the words of those who witnessed many of the significant periods in the Basilica’s history, including its construction and consecration in 1905.
