Thank you for making Landmark Spark 2024 a night to remember. With over 300 people in attendance, it was an unforgettable evening of joy and community, of connections and possibilities. Because of your incredible generosity, we reached our goal and will be able to replace all 26 roof drains. There are many gifts still being made, which in total will far exceed our goal, all thanks to you. This now allows us to move forward with additional restoration and revitalization projects that our Basilica Landmark so desperately needs.

Help us illuminate the mission of The Basilica Landmark as we transform our interior dome lighting to LEDs — offering our historic space a life-sustaining future for the people and purpose we serve. www.thebasilicalandmark.org
Interior dome lighting project
How hard it is to change a light blub? It’s quite a project to change the interior dome light bulbs. Dave our Director of Buildings & Grounds must regularly climb to the dome, wearing a safety harness, as he changes the bulbs 80 ft above the alter.
We are currently raising $93,000 to update the 1,000 watt florescent bulbs and fixtures to new LED energy efficient lighting. The new LED bulbs will last up to 25 years, saving time and money.
