| “Paint the Basilica” is a 2-day (August 6-7) “Plein Air” event. Artists can come out, set up space and create their unique vision of OLV Basilica. Passers-by are encouraged to come out and watch! For details, or, if you are an artist who wants to register, click here. | Join Buffalo legend Bobby Militello and a churchful of friends for a special concert and Jazz Mass at the Basilica on August 6. A pre-Mass concert will be held at 4 p.m. prior to 4:30 p.m. Jazz Mass. No tickets are required. | |

Mark Your Calendars! The beloved "Penny Drop" begins on Aug. 7 prior to 8 a.m. Mass. Families and friends are encouraged to drop off their pennies/loose change on the sidewalk in front of the Shrine's main entrance. Nothing goes better with summer than BBQ! This year, the drive-thru will be open on Aug. 7 between 1-5 p.m. (or until we are sold out). Chicken dinners are just $15 and will be available for pick-up in the parking lot behind the Basilica. Pre-order & donation information will be available soon! |
Come out for noon Mass on Aug. 7 and pay tribute to the saintly man who started it all, Venerable Nelson Baker. | |
