One of Western New York’s most exquisite landmarks, this Basilica Buffalo attracts visitors worldwide. Rivaling the great churches of Europe and built in 1926 as a gift of thanks to the Blessed Mother, it is the final resting place of Venerable Nelson Baker, a current candidate for Sainthood. Prominent features of the Shrine include breathtaking paintings and marble sculptures, as well as the Father Baker Museum and OLV Gift Shop located in the lower level. Public tours are held Sundays or by calling the Director of Programs. Admission is free at Our Lady of Victory National Shrine & Basilica Buffalo.
