St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica is a Gothic Revival Catholic cathedral located in the downtown core of Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia. It is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth and is the largest Catholic church in the Archdiocese. Consecrated on 19 October 1899. Pope Pius XII raised the shrine to the status of Minor Basilica via his decree Quas Moles et Pulchritido on 14 June 1950. The decree was signed and notarized by Apostolic Chancellor Ermenegildo Brugnola. The St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica boasts the tallest granite spire in North America.
