St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica

St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica in Galveston has launched a statewide capital restoration campaign, with the theme "Help Save the Historic Texas Catholic Mother Church, St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica."

Church officials have identified major emergency church building repairs that need to be done within the next 14 months in order to preserve the building's foundation.  Church officials have established a goal of $1.5 million to complete the building repairs.
