For the sixth year in a row on Holy Thursday, Broadway Fillmore Alive 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. Holy Thursday is on April 05, 2012.
Churches on this year’s tour include: Corpus Christi, Saint Ann, Saint Stanislaus, Saint Luke’s Mission of Mercy, Saint Adalbert Basilica, Saint John Kanty and Saint Clare.
The visitation period generally begins after 7:00 pm and the churches remain open till around 11:00 pm.
In our first year, we had about 50 requests for the tour info. The number of requests over the last few years has risen to over 500.
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 year on the Roman Catholic calendar. It also provides an opportunity for people who want to explore all these architectural gems on one night.

This coming Sunday is Second Sunday in the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood.
Second Sundays is an initiative started by Broadway Fillmore Alive to encourage people to attend Mass at one of the neighborhood’s historic churches every second Sunday of the month during the course of the year. It is a great way to check out one of these churches and support them.

For March, we are featuring Saint John Kanty Church. We chose the church this month because they are in the middle of their annual Lenten pierogi fundraiser.
Think about it…come to church at Saint John Kanty, buy some pierogi…it doesn’t get much better than that.
Here is Saint John Kanty’s website—>

All of the churches in Buffalo’s historic Polonia are architectural and spiritual treasures.
Let’s help keep them ALIVE!
Here is a short video showing the good people at Saint John Kanty making the pierogi.
