Let your pilgrimage begin… Discover, or rediscover the spiritual treasures of the diocese! The Diocese of Buffalo has a rich 175-year history and we invite you to visit some of the parish communities, churches and institutions throughout Western New York. From the table that St. John Neumann used as an altar when celebrating Masses at the various mission parishes he served, to the unique architecture which serves as a reminder of the faith of the people, you will be in awe as you journey from site to site on this pilgrimage.

This is a time to give thanks for our faith and to pray for others, for the church, our parishes, for vocations, peace, and many other needs. Be on the lookout for more information throughout the year on when your parish will be holding a Day of Prayer.
