Historic Catholic Church. Pope Francis declared it a minor basilica. Located in small town of Victoria, KS. Steeples can be seen for miles around. Built by German immigrants in late 1800s.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place! We were here recently with a group of teen girls on a road trip and even they felt the serenity of it. Audio tours are stationed around the basilica, so you can listen to the history and detail of the building. I've driven past this many times, but will always stop in the future, and will have to make time to attend Mass here. I've never been to the gift shop, because they have limited hours, but I hope to get there some day.

I find this church very conducive to inner peace and prayer. I sometimes stop in when traveling through the area and it is usually empty, except for Jesus in the tabernacle, or has only a few people either praying or taking in the atmosphere. There is some information just inside the main doors that can be used as a self tour. I like to pray at one of the altars or just look at the stained glass windows and statues and try to figure out what they represent. What a testament to those before us to leave us such a treasure. We should thank them and remember them in our prayers.
