Basilica of Saints Cyril and Methodius

The Basilica of Saints Cyril and Methodius is a monument of faith. The donors of the chapel’s marble, mosaic stained glass, bronze, silver and gold worked in coal mines, steel mills, factories and on farms across America. Because it was built during the Great Depression and beginning of World War II, the chapel serves as a testament to thousands of people’s faith in God. The beautiful precious metals of the tabernacle, vaulted ceiling tiles, terrazzo floors and marble altar, baldachino and walls are a reminder of remarkable generosity during a time in history of great tribulation.

Adoration Chapel 

Beneath the majestic Saint Cyril tower is a perpetual Adoration Chapel, opened in January 2001. The chapel is open to the public Wednesday And Thursday from 7am – 8pm And the first Saturday of each month from 9am-4pm ,  Accessed through the front doors of the stone motherhouse. Arrangements are not needed to visit the chapel.
