The First Basilica in Kansas and the
78th in the United States.
In 2019, a Fort Hays State University student, Russell Heitmann, interviewed several St. Fidelis parishioners and created a 14-minute video of them sharing their knowledge of the history of The Basilica of St. Fidelis.
GUIDED TOURS
Several parishioners of the Basilica of St. Fidelis, "The Cathedral of the Plains", in Victoria, St. Ann Catholic Church in Walker, St. Boniface Catholic Church in Vincent, and Holy Cross Church in Pfeifer donate their time to provide guided tours of the churches for tour buses or other large groups. (Sorry, but tours are not available for small groups.)
Call the Parish Office at
785-735-2777
to make arrangements for a tour.
​
Please call a number of days ahead of time so we can coordinate the tour date and time with our volunteers.
There are 4 audio tour guide boxes that visitors are welcome to listen to, also. The first box is located near the middle doors in the west vestibule. The other 3 boxes are attached to several pews down the center aisle.
