Basilica featured on MPBN The Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul in Lewiston was featured in a segment of "Maine Experience" on MPBN television. The segment features both historic and recent photographs from USM's Franco-American Collection. The basilica is the only basilica in Northern New England. Completed in 1938, it's called "the church built with nickels and dimes" because 98% of its cost was financed by the working class French Canadian immigrants that worshiped there.
