The Basilica of St. Mary will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the laying of its cornerstone beginning in August. Many events are planned during the next year. The basilica also will introduce a new logo to mark the milestone. The inspiration for the logo design is based on the Rose windows that are part of the basilica’s architecture.
