Gorgeous basilica! Built in Lewiston between 1905 and 1938, Saints Peter and Paul is the second largest church in New England and the only one to be faithfully modeled on a European Gothic cathedral. Moreover, the church looms as a Franco–American cultural monument. Unlike most European basilicas, which are surrounded by grand plazas, Saints Peter and Paul sits grandly elevated but is surrounded by modest, working-class houses. Measuring 316 feet long, 110 feet wide, and featuring two 167-foot-high towers, Saints Peter and Paul seats 2,200 parishioners.

A beautiful basilica with high, arched ceilings, lovely intricate stained glass, and warm wood along the walls. There are a large number of Mass times available, some of which are in the main church hall, while others are in a smaller chapel. You should definitely see it if you're near Lewiston.
