It is not necessary to travel thousands of miles to see some amazing sites. Pastor Charlie and some of the congregation of the United In Christ Community Church enjoyed a field trip to the Our Lady of Victory Basilica In Lackawanna, NY yesterday, the 9th. It was constructed beginning in 1921 at completed at a cost of $3.5 million dollars. There are 46 unique kinds of marble in the building. The pews are made of African Mahogany. The statue of Our Lady of Victory at the entrance is made of Carerra marble from Italy and is 12 feet in height and weighs 16,000 pounds. The number of statues of angels inside ranges from 1,500 to 2,500. I did not have the time or effort to count them. The dome from the inside is 120 feet from the floor and depicts the Assumption of Coronation of the Blessed Mother. There is so much more for the visitor to see; more than I can elaborate on at this time.. Regardless of a person`s denomination, Words can not do justice to this facility. It is the one True God we all follow.
