Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels — Attraction in City of Olean

I went to pay my tithes and enjoy the festivities. At my request the priest took time out of his busy schedule to pray over me. Everyone there was so nice to me and welcoming. I felt as if I were among old friends and I was being reunited with them again. I have NEVER stepped foot in a Catholic Church and know nothing about the ways of the Catholic faith but I felt loved, accepted, and welcomed. I spoke to many people there and I had a wonderful time. When the festival was over I volunteered to help with the clean up and I was not denied to service for my Lord. I had wonderful insightful talks with a man in training to become a priest. He told me the name of his position but I have forgotten what he called it. I was invited back next year. My contact information was given.

A prosession around the church with the priest carrying the Monstrance with the Eucharist followed and Benediction. In all it was a beautiful celebration with much spirituality. I was so thrilled to be able to attend...

A beautiful neoclassical Roman Catholic Church of the Novus Ordo Mass whose priests are the same as those of St. John the Evangelist's on No. Union St. Parts have been reconstructed and there are many activities/organizations that take place within the Church. Fr. David also organizes processions with Our Blessed Lady at least once a month, the only Church in the area to still do these. Again, great confessors and homilists, caring and...
