Come pray with us! In anticipation of the Inaugural Mass Solemnizing the designation of our church as a basilica tomorrow...Fr. Greg is holding Evening Prayer and Rosary at 6:00 pm in the church. Come pray for our entire Olean Catholic Community as we all share roots with our first little church that was built on this very lot 165 years ago. We pray for our parish too that it may have the courage and patience and love to carry out the responsibilities that the Vatican asks of us as a basilica parish.
