The optional memorial of the Dedication of St. Mary Major, celebrated on Aug. 5, recalls the importance of Mary in the life of the church. It also calls to mind the Marian title of “Our Lady of the Snows,” thanks to a legend associated with the basilica's construction. Whether the legend is true or not, devotion to Mary under the title Our Lady of the Snows has endured.

In the Diocese of Rochester, Our Lady of the Snow Parish includes St. Joseph's Church in Weedsport and St. Patrick's Church in Cato.
