A Rector’s Vision

A Rector’s Vision

“The Church over the history of civilization has been a guardian of artistic works, both secular and religious. Using the museum space as a gallery for local artists is the least we can do to continue this form of stewardship. We also want our community and visitors alike to enjoy the talents of our local artists in an environment befitting their inspirational works.” - Msgr. James L.G. Benavente, Rector

The Museum…

The National Museum of the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica covers 7,000 square feet above the Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux. The split level interior sports black granite flooring, is painted with subtle colors, and has been outfitted with built-in directional lighting. Cathedral windows frame views of the Plaza de España and provide a quite and meditative setting for patrons.
