Donate to our Automatic Door Campaign

Posted by admin on 06/10/2021

To accommodate our friends and parishioners experiencing a handicap, or are wheelchair bound, we would like to install an electronic door opener on the front, south side entrance door that already has the handicap ramp. Because Corpus Christi Church is an historic landmark, the 2 inch wood doors would NOT be replaced because of our landmark status and the opener would be responsible to open and close this heavy weight door at a cost of $5,650. This would include necessary electrical work that also needs to be done to prepare for the installation of the openers.

As in the past, we are looking to you and your family for your generous donation that will help offset the major cost of this electrical door opener. You and your family will be remembered during our Holy Mass celebrating 9-day Novena to Our Lady of Częstochowa in August, 2021. Please place your gift into an envelope marked “door opener” and either send it directly to the rectory or place it into the collection basket. You can also also use PayPal button or QR code to donate online.

Mail donations and make payable to:

Corpus Christi Church
c/o Automatic Door
199 Clark Street
Buffalo, NY 14212

Please include your intention for our 9-day Novena to Our Lady of Częstochowa with your donation. If paying via PayPal, you can include note on the donation.

You have noticed, I am sure, that our Church has not been as warm during Mass services. The reason is that we have had serious difficulty paying our gas and electric bills over the past two years. Mother Nature has not been kind with a bitter, very cold winter last year. As a result I have had to dip into our Pauline savings each time. In addition, in order to “save” a little money I have lowered the temperature to 52 degrees in the off hours in our Church. But, these are not the answers to our problem. We have older parishioners, persons with special needs, small children. guests and visitors. We have a beautiful Church which needs to be heated properly to at least 60 degrees each Sunday. We have the newly restored Disputa painting to maintain-the first restoration in 46 years, as well our organ, both of which require a warm and steady temperature. The Social Athletic Club, the Kolbe Center, the convent and our own priests’ residence also must be warm. We must and will have a warm and inviting Church this winter.
But, for this to happen, I need your help.

I do not like to talk about money but I must. Our bills for gas and electric for the last winter season were $54,600. This year we are told to expect them to be $60,000. While our monthly Fuel Collection envelopes have helped, they provide less than 5% of the monies we need each year. Please consider donating to our fuel fund. With everyone’s help we would be able to pay all of our winter gas bills from December 2014 through April 2015 and all of our electric bills from December to December.

Thank you in advance for your support.
