Mass times to be announced. A PLENARY INDULGENCE may be gained today - One of four designated days per year that we can offer this grace to pilgrims. See link for details. Our basilica was named by Franciscan friars in 1858 with the laying of the cornerstone of the original St. Mary of the Angels Church. The friars, based at St. Bonaventure College (as it was known at the time), ministered to this church for 20 years until it became an official parish in the diocese in 1876. In 1915, a statue of St. Francis was placed in the new church that today is a minor basilica. When the cornerstone was laid for this church, relics from Assisi were placed in it. It's a holy place open seven days a week just for you to come in and explore and stop to say a prayer. You are always welcome. This day, is a particularly blessed day to come.

First Saturday Mass and Devotions requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima. Offered the First Saturday of each month 7:30 am includes Mass and Rosary. See link for details about this important devotion.
