The first Catholics that moved to Daytona Beach arrived in 1881. Mass was celebrated in private homes a couple of times a year by priests who traveled from DeLand. Daytona Beach became a mission of St. Teresa Church in Titusville in 1886. Mass was now celebrated every Sunday in either the opera house or the armory. The Rev. John F. O’Boyle became the first resident priest in Daytona Beach in 1895.[1] He purchased property on South Palmetto and Myrtle Avenues and built a church in 1898. The Rev. William J. Mullally arrived in 1923 and made plans to build a school and a new church. The school, which opened in 1925, was the only Catholic school on Florida’s East Coast between St. Augustine and West Palm Beach at that time. He built the present church, which was completed in 1927. Construction costs totaled around $250,000.[1] The cupola (dome) and cross on top of the building date from 2006. They replace the ones damaged in the hurricanes of 2004.

The Basilica of St. Paul Catholic Church in Daytona Beach, Fla., is a spiritually rewarding stop to visit, pray, and worship. A spare of the moment stop, we are grateful and feel Blessed for taking a relatively short time to step inside, to pray, and to visit the gift shop, which, by the way, was staffed by a very cordial and helpful volunteer. The Daytona Beach Basilica is definitely a Blessing for all visitors.

First order of business on our trips is to go to churches & attend masses when we can. Glad to have found the Basilica. Very welcoming community, we are from Toronto & the priest (I didn't get his name ☹) asked for visitors & thats the kind of invitation we would like to experience. Interior was amazing, there is the solemnity feel. Thank you!

This architectural masterpiece serves as a magnificent venue for the congregation of God's people. We recently had the privilege of participating in a two-day retreat titled "Vida en el Espiritu," which proved to be a profoundly moving experience. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to return.
