Easter gifts for purchase to benefit Corpus Christi Church

Posted by on

Corpus Christi is offering something new and different for you to decorate your home at the Easter Holiday and to help support our church. This year, we are featuring a wooden laser cut Pascal Lamb. The lamb is a natural wood color and stands on a provided wooden pedestal.

They are beautifully carved out of pine and available in two sizes: the larger 6-inch for a donation of $10 and a 3-inch version for a donation of $5.

Also available are our specially embroidered doilies for a donation of $15; they were a big hit last year and are still available. Cover your Easter basket or have it displayed on your table.

All these items are wonderful thoughts and a lasting gift. Contact the office if you would like to purchase one, phone 716-896-1050 or office@corpuschristibuffalo.org. Shipping and handling is $3 for the lambs, and $5 for the doily.

****CANCELED**** Blessing of Easter Food on the East Side of Buffalo

Posted by on

As we approach Holy Week and Easter and continue our fight against the Coronavirus, we recognize the importance of maintaining our spiritual growth and traditions. As restaurants, grocery stores, and pharmacies offer carry-out and drive-by services, Corpus Christi and St. Stanislaus Churches would like to offer a drive-by Easter Basket blessing and distribution of Palms on Holy Saturday, April 11. This, of course, is a non-traditional approach but it is a way of bringing some normalcy to our lives in a safe and acceptable manner.

The blessing of Easter Baskets and distribution of Palms will begin at Corpus Christi Church at 11:00 am. – 11: 45 am. Cars should assemble in the church parking lot for a brief prayer. Following this blessing, the cars will proceed down Sears to Kent and stop in front of the church to receive a palm and personal blessing. Cars will then exit down Clark Street.

At 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm, the blessing of Easter Baskets and distribution of Palms will take place at St. Stanislaus Church. Cars should assemble in the church parking lot for a brief prayer. Following the blessing, the cars should exit the parking lot on Wilson, proceed down Paderewski to Townsend and stop in front of the church to receive a palm and a personal blessing. Cars will then exit down Peckham Street.

Father Michał Czyżewski and Father Jan Kolmaga are offering this opportunity while maintaining safe distancing practices as outlined by the CDC.

Easter represents Christ’s victory over death. With prayer, hope, and trust in the Lord, we can see this crisis through and rejoice in His resurrection and life anew. While neither facility can offer public Masses, St. Stanislaus maintains its tradition of the Polish radio Mass on Sundays at 12 noon at 101.7 FM.

Important information from the Pauline Fathers in Buffalo, NY regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic:

Due to the potential spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and following the guidelines from the Diocese of Buffalo, government and health officials, we have decided to immediately implement the following changes at our Church, until further notice.

All Sunday and Weekday Masses will be canceled. So as decided by the Diocese of Buffalo, there can be no public Masses at our Church. Also in order to avoid large gatherings of people, there will be no confessions on Saturday.

Unfortunately due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic our ministry and community are limited to some extent. However, we believe that God always provides!

In this situation, we can really learn how to trust Him and in the moments when we feel powerless or overcome by sickness, fear, and anxiety we can surrender to Him.
He is the source of our hope and of the Good News that always touches our hearts.

Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. (Isaiah 43:1-2)

That’s why as a religious community of Pauline Fathers & Brothers we would like to offer our prayers for your intentions. Every day during Midday prayers in our Monastic Chapel, we will present to the Lord your personal intentions, which you send to us.
