The public is cordially invited to attend this beautiful service.

P O L A N D

Corpus Christi Church, located at 199 Clark St. in Buffalo, will celebrate a special Mass on Sunday, April 18 at 8:00a.m. in memory of Polish President Lech Kaczynski, First Lady Maria Kaczynska and 94 other Polish top ranking military, religious leaders and distinguished citizens who perished in an air crash of devastating proportions on April 10 . The disaster was made even more tragic since the purpose of the delegation’s ill-fated flight was to attend the 70th anniversary observances of the Katyn Forest massacres, in which more than 21,000 Polish prisoners were executed by Russian soldiers. The time of the liturgy is planned to coincide with the Polish President’s funeral in Krakow, taking into account the six hour time difference between the Polish city and Buffalo. Corpus Christi arranged a similar Mass in 2005, that was held simultaneous to Pope John Paul II’s memorial service in Rome, Italy. [Read more…]
