In August 2021, we celebrated 100 years since the Basilica’s cornerstone was laid and blessed. Over the next five years, the Centennial Celebration will honor the Shrine’s first century and blaze a bold, vibrant path for the next 100 years! The Celebration's theme is "All Are Welcome," and we invite everyone to visit and be re-inspired by one of Western New York's most revered places.
