About the Parish

MISSION STATEMENT
Basilica of Immaculate Conception, a historic downtown parish, comprised of a diverse community of believers, is committed to serve all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, social background or creed. Our parish is a refuge for all who seek solace, peace and renewal.

VISION STATEMENT

To accomplish our mission, to build upon the foundation first established in 1854, and to perpetuate our Roman Catholic heritage in downtown Jacksonville, the Parish strives to accomplish the following:
To provide Parishioners, visitors and members of the downtown community with a place of worship, praise, and meditation that is maintained and preserved for future generations.
To offer spiritual, economic, and emotional support to the poor and others in need by sharing our gifts of time, talent, and treasure.
To support a variety of Religious Educational Programs for children and adults.
To recognize and support the work of our pastor and visiting priests they administer the sacraments and shepherd community.
To foster a spirit of genuine welcome and hospitality for the benefit of all.
