Current Exhibition: Catholic England

Ongoing at the Basilica of Saint Mary Museum is a temporary exhibit on “Catholic England.” This exhibit offers an overview of the rich history of Catholicism in England, as well as the country’s eventual separation from the Church in Rome. Learn more about the religious persecutions endured by Catholics in England, and why many of them sought the promise of religious freedom in the new American Colonies.
