MILWAUKEE -- The St. Josaphat Basilica Foundation announced plans on Wednesday, Sept. 4 to unveil a new system that will illuminate the building’s iconic dome.
The Dome Lighting Ceremony, set for Saturday, Sept. 21, is the culmination of years of work to restore and preserve the historic building’s unique structure. The most publicly visible part of the project is the installation of 26 points of light in the surrounding Lincoln Village neighborhood that will all shine on the Basilica dome at night.
Following the Basilica's 4:30 p.m. Mass on Sept. 21, the community is invited to gather outside of the historic building from 5:30 p.m. through 8 p.m. for an evening of fun.
