as a Minor Basilica
Thursday, June 29, 2017
six o'clock in the evening
The Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul
The Basilica is deeply appreciative of the Diocese of Buffalo's Daybreak TV Productions which produced a livestream and on-demand video of the
entire Mass Solemnizing our designation as the 83rd Basilica in the United States.
Below is WKBW's news report that night.
A commemorative DVD of highlights of the historic Mass has been produced which utilized five cameras including aerial drone for the final film produced by Daybreak. This beautiful DVD loaded with gorgeous video of our interior and exterior is for sale on this web site, in our parish office and at McCarthy's Emporium downtown Olean.
