A relic of Pope John Paul II has made an unscheduled stop in Buffalo and the opportunity to see it is at Corpus Christi Church, but not for long.
The relic will be in the church through Ascension Thursday. Hours for viewing on Thursday 10am-8pm with Holy Masses at 11:30am and 6:30pm.
Corpus Christi Church will host a relic of John Paul II. It is a rare opportunity for the Buffalo and Western New York community to pray with relics of John Paul II, as they stop in Buffalo on their way around North America.
A reliquary containing the blood of Blessed John Paul II, can be seen. The relic will be on display for the public on Wednesday, May 8th at the 7:30am and 11:30am Masses and on the Solemnity of the Ascension and Thursday, May 9th from 10am until 8pm with Masses at 11:30am & 6:30pm at the church located at 199 Clark Street, Buffalo, 14212.
The relic has been traveling across the Eastern United States and will arrive here from Pennsylvania on the way to Montreal, Canada.
This special Honor was arranged through Rev. Sławomir Oder, Postulator of the Sanctification Process of Blessed John Paul II and Rev. Rafał Walczyk, O.S.P.P.E. from the Church of St. Casimir in Yonkers, NY.
Pope John Paul II was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on May 1, 2009. Before being elected Pope, John Paul II visited Buffalo in 1969 and 1976.
Corpus Christi church has been serving East Buffalo’s Historic Polonia since 1898. The church is on the state and national lists of historic places.
