http://www.saintadalbertbasilica.org
Construction of Saint Adalbert's Basilica, (referred to in Polish as Bazylika Swietego Wojciecha) was started in 1890 by Polish immigrants. It is an example of the Polish Cathedral style in both its opulence and grand scale. The brick building is 240 feet long by 118 feet wide.
The 36 Stained glass windows of the Basilica were produced by Franz Mayer & Co. of Munich, Germany. The interior was decorated by Jozef Mazur, an ecclesiastical painter and a member of the parish. The stained glass windows were imported from Germany. The main altar of imported marble was installed with funds left the parish for this purpose in the last will of Fr. Flaczek.
The church gained affiliation with St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome in 1907 but may not have received the minor basilica status.

"Fr. Damasus Winzen and three companions came to a wooded hill outside Elmira NY, which they named Mount Saviour in honor of our Saviour's Transfiguration. In 1951, the life was hard and lacked many of the comforts that people take for granted. The new monastery was not to be divided into 'choir monks' and 'lay brothers' as has been the custom in recent centuries. The monks share equal opportunities and equal burdens of work, study and prayer. The monks utilize 250 acres of the land for raising sheep and producing market lambs, yarn and pelt products while many other acres serve as a woodlot. There is also a book and gift shop."
North American Martyrs Chapel
Oscawanna Lake Road
Putnam Valley, NY 10579
845-528-6433?
Eight French Jesuits, the most famous of whom was St. Isaac Jogues, were martyred while spreading Christianity in North America and Canada.
In 1936, Msgr. Patrick A. O'Leary from Ireland, who had studied the Jesuits, wanted to build a chapel in their honor. He chose to build it in the shape of an Iroquois long house.
Outside the barrel shaped chapel, alongside the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary translated into Iroquoian, are Indian plaques and carvings.
Inside the church along with a painting of the Crucifixion are traditional North American Indian motifs stenciled along the walls. Pews are rough hewn wood. The overhead lamps are shaped like Iroquois food storage pots. The altarpiece is made of logs, shaped like stockade with the pickets arranged like organ pipes. The altar light rests in a two-foot-long replica of an Iroquois canoe. Stations of the Cross are painted on an Iroquois drumhead.
The church is maintained by parishioners of St. Columbanus Parish in nearby Cortland Manor.

http://www.sacredheartsyr.org
In May 1892, Rev. Anthony F. Kolaszewski and 124 families petitioned the bishop for a new parish. The following month the organizers met, decided to build their own church and selected the Sacred Heart of Jesus as their Patron. On July 24th 1892 the corner-stone for the new wooden church was laid and blessed. The first Mass was offered August 30, 1892.
Rev. Francis Rusin came to Sacred Heart in June 16, 1896, immediately after his ordination. He found a flock of 85 families, a $17,000.00 church building and debts of $11,000.00. From that day forward Father Rusin toiled, working with his own hands to build the beautiful current church. On June 20, 1906, with the permission of the Board of Trustees, two Park Avenue lots were purchased.
At the beginning of 1907, Merrich and Randall, architects, prepared the plans and specifications for the new church. The parishioners themselves dug the foundation to save on money. The cornerstone was blessed October 20, 1907. The gothic church, built in the shape of a cross, is built of stone with a marble veneer. It is 162 feet long and 105 feet at its’ widest point. The seating capacity is 1200. Its’ two spires are 212 feet high.
It was dedicated June 5, 1910 by Bishop R. Rhode, D.D. Polish Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago, by special permission of Bishop Ludden.
Sacred Heart was designated as a Basilica on October 10, 2004.
