About The Basilica of St. Mary of the Assumption
The Basilica of St. Mary of the Assumption in Lancaster, Ohio is a historic Catholic parish founded in 1820, serving the community for over two centuries. In 2022, the church received the designation of a Minor Basilica from the Vatican in recognition of its architectural beauty, historical significance, and spiritual importance. The parish welcomes new residents to the Lancaster area, those returning to the practice of the Catholic faith, and those interested in learning about Catholicism through the OCIA process. The church features a beautifully renovated sanctuary and serves as a spiritual home for families, young adults, and singles of all ages. Beyond worship, the parish offers sacramental care for the sick, a food pantry for community outreach, and various adult faith formation programs throughout the year.
