The Diocese of Western New York will be observing the Bi-Centennial of the War of 1812, but our history encompasses the Iroquois Confederacy, the Erie Canal, the Underground Railroad, the Pan American Exposition and the Inaugural of President Theodore Roosevelt.

 

The conference program, "Living into the Legacy of Hobart and Brent" will explore the Church's connection to the historical highlights of the Queen City of the Lakes.

 

A tour will include visit to Niagara Falls, Fort Niagara, Freedom Crossing, St. Andrew's Episcopal Church (dedicated to the life and works of The Rt. Rev. Charles Henry Brent), the Darwin Martin House (a Frank Lloyd Wright design) and the Church of the Good Shepherd with Tiffany windows.

 

We will also worship at St. Paul's Cathedral, designed by Richard Upjohn. Downtown Buffalo architecture is varied and impressive with the work of Sullivan, Richardson, Art Deco, and contemporary, all within walking distance of the Cathedral. The Central Wharf and Canalside are waterfront improvements recently completed as Buffalo develops the resources of our Inner Harbor to focus on the importance of water transportation.

 

There's no snow in August, so visit Buffalo and be surprised by our local treasures and experience our hospitality.

Registration information and details available soon.
