All these and more have been captured in this book. These photographs were taken over two days and effort has been made to choose representative photographs of the unique features of the basilica.

It is important that this edifice be maintained in pristine condition for future generations to enjoy. Individual contributions in cash or kind should be encouraged. The more people visit this holy site, the more the goals for building it, in the first place, be realized. We each have to do our part to keep the spirit of 'Our lady of Peace' and "Notre Dame De Tout Le Monde" alive.
