Buffalo

PARISHIONERS, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS

Posted by admin on 12/26/2022

Almost one year has passed since our return to Western New York. Time has gone fast and here we are, ready to welcome Christ Jesus to the Manger. As we prepare to decorate our beautiful historic church, we are grateful to the parishioners and friends who have continued to attend and support the Pauline Fathers in their efforts to evangelize on the East side of Buffalo, and give people a sense of hope amidst the chaos of today’s world.

A church is filled with many different people. Since our return, we were delighted to see families raising their children in the faith, teaching them how to pray and serve. We observed the old and the young in conversation. We also noticed the dedication of volunteers who help to care for our aging buildings, and the time and talent they share with the church community.

We cannot do this alone. Christ came into this world so that we may have life, and to have this life more abundantly. As we celebrate the Christmas and the ring in the New Year, please know we will continue to pray, teach, and encourage you on your journey. We will continue to listen, plan, organize, and support activities which strengthen your walk with the Lord. As for the care of our buildings, the challenges will remain, but with God’s grace, the work which has been started, will continue. We are so blessed to have parishioners who see a need, develop a plan, implement, and see it to its’ final stage. God bless you!

OUR CHRISTMAS WISH LIST FOR 2023

*Continue to attend church and receive the Sacraments

*Grow in your knowledge of the Catholic faith-ask questions, model the faith for others

*Pray-ask God how and where He wants to use you-then trust Him

*Share in the old and new traditions by support of your presence, time, or financial support

DONATE TO THE FOLLOWING ONGOING PROJECTS

CHURCH-new accessible bathrooms in the basement, installation of accessible chair lift

KOLBE CENTER-complete window trim, update the entrance steps to make handicap accessible

SEARS HALL-address a variety of physical and mechanical issues

You can mail donations to Corpus Christi Church, 199 Clark Street, Buffalo, NY 14212

As our Diocese continues with the Road to Renewal, Corpus Christi Church and the Pauline Fathers, will continue to work with our Diocese to better serve the community. As our journey to the Manger continues, and we anticipate the New Year, we will also pray together for peace within ourselves and our world.

In hope and joy,

Rev. Mariusz Dymek (Pastor)
Rev. Mark Kreiss (Associate)
Bro. Aniol Sokalski

Investiture in the Brown Scapular of Mt. Carmel after 9:30 AM Mass on Sunday

Posted by admin on 07/15/2022

After the 9:30 Mass, Father Marek Kreis, is going to invest those who wish into the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

St. John Paul II said the scapular is a “sign of continuous protection of the Blessed Virgin, not only along the pathways of this life, but also at the moment of passing into the fullness of eternal glory.” When Mary appeared to St. Simon Stock in 1251 and gave him the scapular, she said these words: “Take this Scapular; it shall be a sign of salvation, a protection in danger and a pledge of peace. Whoever dies wearing this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire.” She promises to deliver from Purgatory those who still are in need of purification shortly after their passing from this life.

Wearing the Scapular means you show your devotion to Our Lady and choose to live following Jesus through Mary who will help you to do so. The conditions attached to this devotion include some sort of daily Marian devotion such as the Rosary or the Little Office of the Virgin Mary, and observing chastity in ones state of life. We must not misuse the scapular by thinking how we live our life is not important.

Pope St. John Paul II was wearing Our Lady’s Scapular when he was shot in 1981. He insisted doctors not remove his scapular. Carmelite Father Mariano Cera told “Inside the Vatican” magazine: “Just before the Holy Father was operated on, he told the doctors, ‘Don’t take off my scapular.’ And the surgeons left it on.”

Investiture in the Brown Scapular must be done by a priest. You must wear it over the shoulders so one part hangs in the front and one part hangs in the back, either over or under your clothes. If your scapular becomes worn or broken, a new one may replace it without it needing to be blessed.
