Plan Your Visit

The Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels is open every morning around 7am into the evening each day of the week. Enjoy our peaceful setting--so conducive to prayer and reflection-- in the tranquil valley surrounded by the Enchanted Mountains of rural Western New York State. Come and be refreshed and renewed!

We look forward to your visit to our beautiful jewel in this rural corner of the State. If you are driving a distance to get here or are coming as a group, we ask that you please call the parish office to schedule your visit. 716-372-4841 That way we can ensure to the best of our ability that your visit won't conflict with a funeral, wedding rehearsal or other events going on. We want to be sure you get the most out of your experience here at the Basilica and we will even give a tour if possible, and arrange for Confessions if possible.  And it IS an experience. We are eager to see you!
716-372-4841 Mon-Fri 9am-Noon. We are handicapp accessable. 

Don't forget, during this 100th Anniversary Year of the Apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima, our parish has a beautiful Children of Fatima Chapel with an amazing, specially-commissioned painting of the three shepherd children of Fatima that is unlike anything you have ever seen! Lovely place to stop to say the rosary. Children, particularly, love our painting. Very refreshing in lively colors and filled with anticipation of seeing the first light of Our Lady. 

 The faithful who devoutly visit the basilica and within it participate in any sacred rite or at least recite the Lord's Prayer and the profession of faith may obtain a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions (sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intention of the Supreme Pontiff):

February 14 - Anniversary day St. Mary of the Angels church was granted title of Minor Basilica
June 29 - Anniversary day of St. Mary of the Angels' consecration (in 1919) and the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul
August 2 - Patronal Feast Day and Porziuncola Indulgence granted at the time of St. Francis of Assisi
A day of the pilgrim's choice once a year
