Your
Marian Pilgrimage to
Buffalo, “The Queen
City,” should include visits to the beautiful Basilica and National Shrine of OUR LADY
OF VICTORY (http://www.ourladyofvictory.org/)
in Lackawanna NY just 10 minutes from downtown Buffalo. Erected by
“The Apostle of Charity,” Father
Nelson Baker, it was declared by L'Osservatore
Romano in 1925 to be "one of the most superb shrines
the American Church possesses." (SEE BELOW) Also, the unique and
beautiful FATIMA
SHRINE in nearby Lewiston (http://www.fatimashrine.com/),
just 30 minutes from downtown Buffalo, and a focus of pilgrims from
all over the world. A short sidetrip to awesome NIAGARA FALLS, on the drive to
or from Lewiston, will make your pilgrimage especially memorable for
every member of the family!
