The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also known as St. Mary's Basilica, is a Roman Catholic basilica located in Phoenix, Arizona. It was previously known as St. Mary's Church. It was built from 1902 to 1914 in a combination of the Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival styles, and was dedicated in 1915. It replaced an earlier adobe church built in 1881 when the parish was founded. From 1895 the parish was staffed by the Franciscan Friars, but it is currently staffed and operated by clergy of the Diocese of Phoenix.
Pope John Paul II raised the shrine to the status of Minor Basilica via his decree Una Propemodum Voce in 2 September 1985. The decree was signed and notarized by Cardinal Agostino Casaroli.
The oldest Catholic parish church in the greater Phoenix area, St. Mary's was the only parish in Phoenix until 1924 and is home to Arizona's largest stained glass windows collection and a 26-rank pipe organ built by the Schantz Organ Company.
