I am pleased to welcome you to OLV National Shrine & Basilica.
In 1926, after Father Baker’s vision was completed; Pope Pius XI designated our church as the second Basilica in the United States. This Basilica designation gives it a special relationship with our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, and to the Vatican.
Group tours may be scheduled any time between 1 and 5 p.m. throughout the week except Fridays, provided they do not conflict with Masses, weddings, or funerals. To schedule a tour, contact Carolyn at (716) 828-9444 (or via email). Please allow ample time when calling to schedule a tour ... we will do our best to accommodate all requests!
Tours of the breathtaking OLV Basilica are free of charge, although donations are accepted and go toward the cost of ongoing renovations and maintenance.
If you have any questions, contact us by email or at (716) 828-9444.
From the streets of a booming Buffalo, NY, to the battlefields of Gettysburg. From magnificent shrines of Europe to humble orphanages. Father Baker’s story is an inspirational tale of unconditional love, unbridled faith, and an unshakeable belief in a better life for all of God’s children.
