Basilica of Regina Pacis
Brooklyn, United States · built 1951
The Basilica of Regina Pacis (Latin for Queen of Peace) is a Catholic parish church located in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, New York, under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. The church was built as a votive shrine, within the then-Parish of St. Rosalia (later renamed St. Rosalia-Regina Pacis Parish). The original parish church, built in 1905, was considered the "Mother Church of Italian immigrants" of the diocese. The church was raised to the status of a minor basilica by Pope Benedict XVI in November 2012. In June 2017, the diocese closed the Church of St. Rosalia, establishing the basilica as the parish church.
