Shrines and Sights of Niagara Falls Region

Home Up

Journey to the lovely Niagara Falls Region and visit Our Lady of Victory Basilica and National Shrine.  Constructed in 1921 as our nation’s second oldest Basilica, the church is built in elegant fourteenth and fifteenth-century Italian Renaissance style.  The Basilica stands as a reflection of the life and work of Fr. Henry Baker, who through the intercession of Mary, saved thousands of orphaned and troubled boys and provided aid to multitudes of adults in hard economic times. Niagara Falls has never ceased to be a natural wonder, mesmerizing travelers from around the world.  Enjoy spectacular views 775 feet above the falls as we gather for dinner in the revolving restaurant of the Skylon Tower.  Travel along the scenic Niagara Parkway to the quaint village of Niagara-on-the-Lake.  Continue on to the National Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Fatima.  The magnificence and natural beauty of the Shrine is highlighted by an awe-inspiring chapel whose semi-transparent dome depicts the Northern Hemisphere.
