About
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.
