Blessed Easter and Happy Spring!

Posted by on

My Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Once again we are celebrating the most important feast in the lives of all Christians – the Feast of the Resurrection of Our Lord.

This is the time for us to rejoice in the meaning of the Resurrection – the knowledge that Christ has risen and has promised that we, too, will share in His glorious Resurrection.

In this spirit of faith and hope, we wish you a Holy and Happy Easter.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Blessed Easter and Happy Spring!

Wesołego Alleluja !

Pauline Fathers,

15th Anniversary of Pope St. John Paul II’s death

Posted by on

On the 15th anniversary of Pope St. John Paul II’s death, the Pauline Fathers privately celebrated Holy Mass in the Church of St. Stanislaus B & M (389 Peckham St, Buffalo, NY 14206), which is the Diocesan Sanctuary of St. John Paul II. After Mass, Father Jan and Father Michał said a breviary prayer in front of the relics of the saint from Wadowice, praying for parishioners, benefactors, sick people and asking for pandemics to cease.

Karol Wojtyła was born on May 20, 1920 in Wadowice, near Krakow, as the second of three children of Karol and Emilia Kaczorowska. He was elected pope by the second assembly of cardinals after the death of John Paul I. Cardinal Wojtyła was elected on the third day of the conclave and took the names of John Paul to honor his predecessor. John Paul II was the first pope outside Italy since the Dutch pope Hadrian VI (1522-1523), and also the second longest-serving pope in modern history after Pope Pius IX (1846-1878). The Polish pope guided the Catholic Church for almost 27 years. Pope John Paul II died on April 2, 2005 at 21:37, he was 84 years old.

On Feast Day of St. Joseph, Help Restore a Tapestry of the Saint

Posted by on

On March 19th, we are celebrating  the feast day of St. Joseph (the foster father of Jesus).

Several years ago we were fortunate to have found in the basement of the church, a canvas art reproduction of St. Joseph.  The tapestry is currently being restored to its’ original condition and will be placed inside Corpus Christi Church once it is complete.  I have illustrated several pictures below of the restoration efforts that have already taken place.

If you would like to help us in this restorative project and you would like to make a contribution, please make your check payable to Corpus Christi R. C. Church in an amount you choose of $25.00, $50.00 or $100.00 and send to 199 Clark Street, Buffalo, NY 14212.
