For the third year in a row on Holy Thursday, B-F-A has put together a self-guided tour of seven historic churches in the Broadway-Fillmore area partaking in the traditional visitation of the Blessed Sacrament on this holy night.
The visitation period generally begins after 7:00 pm and the churches remain open till around 11:00 pm.
The churches include…Corpus Christi, Saint Adalbert Basilica, Saint Stanislaus, Saint Luke’s, Saint John Kanty, Saint Ann’s and Saint Clare’s.
In our first year, we had about 50 requests for the tour info. Last year the number rose to over 400.
The churches in Buffalo’s historic Polonia are awe inspiring and are deeply rooted in tradition…this is a way to experience their religious, artistic and cultural beauty while spending some time in prayer and reflection in this most sacred time of the year.

REQUEST FOR HELP. – – – – What needs to be done.
I’m looking for people who wish to help improve the St Stans surrounding area. Trees need to be pruned and lots need to be cleared of debris.
I’m currently working in front of the church on Peckham between Townsend and Wilson. When properties are demolished, the contractors are reluctant to remove borderline fences and trees. A lot of debris builds up, and trees are over grown.
This will help the area look better, and bring some respect back to the neighborhood. The area is going through a major clear out, and I see light emerging in the neighborhoods improvement.
I’ve spent 15 years in the neighborhood trying to stabilize it. There are also a few dozen people who have live in the surrounding area over 20 – 30 years.
You can contact me, Ron at 860-0111.
Let me know the days and times your available. Mornings from 8 am – 12 noon are better. This Saturday 4/4/09 appears to be a dry day.
(Maybe the other churches in BF can organize neighborhood clean ups too)
Ron,
I pretty much let people post whatever they want in the comments…
But this one bugs me…it is off topic on what this post is about.
If you ever want to post anything, please send me an email. I wil put it up…
Chris
