Please share some of your photos of any Buffalo area Churches and other houses of worship.

Here are some of mine from the beautiful Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Lackawanna, New York - The home of Venerable Father Nelson Baker ( http://www.OurLadyofVictory.org )

(Sorry some of these are so dark...most of the lights were off in the Basilica when I last went)

Buffalo is really renowned for its church architecture. Unfortunately a lot of these buildings are no longer in use and have fallen into disrepair.

Yes, and/or been sold for other or non-religious purposes. My former Catholic Church is now a buddhist temple.
