Since hiring Douglas Architects of San Antonio in October of 2020, a lot of work has been done “behind the scenes” in our restoration project. The friars have been working closely with Douglas Architects, Project Control of Texas (our project managers), various engineering firms, historical preservation experts, and a capital campaign consultant to develop a master plan for the Basilica Complex.

The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower is entering the final phases of the Master Plan project that is underway for the restoration, renovation, and repairs needed to the Basilica complex.
