Last night, I interviewed Greg Witul about his new book “Adorned in Light: The Stained Glass of Corpus Christi Church” via telephone.

The official book launch is Sunday at Corpus Christi Church after the 11:30am Mass. There will be a brief talk in the church about the book and a signing will take place afterward in the church’s Kolbe Center.

From organizer Andy Golebiowski on Facebook:

Polish 40 Days of Christmas continued on January 15 at the St. Stan’s Social Center in Buffalo. In this video, Fr. Czesław Krysa gets the crowd going with the Polish Christmas Carol-Kolęda “Dzisaj w Betlejem” (Today in Bethlehem).

Here is a WIVB story on the event.

Father Anzelm sent me this video he put together of footage he shot of while he was in Buffalo last week to celebrate the Mass where Corpus Christi Church’s Disputa was rededicated.

It is wonderful!

A memorial for the homeless who have died on the streets in Western New York was unveiled Wednesday at the Matt Urban Hope Center. Sharon Cantillon / Buffalo News

Local advocates for the homeless Wednesday launched the longest night of the year with the unveiling of a memorial dedicated to those who have died on the streets merely for lack of adequate shelter.

The outdoor memorial rests in the earth at Memorial and Paderewski drives, just feet from the Matt Urban Hope Center, where Karen Carman serves as director. During Wednesday’s service, which included a candlelight vigil, Carman described homelessness as a social tragedy.

“We have men, women, children, veterans, the elderly homeless, [all] living on the street. We have people with mental disease living outside unable to fend for themselves,” said Carman.

Sister Mary Johnice Rzadkiewicz and John Reed share a laugh over a singing moose during Christmas dinner in the Response to Love Center on Kosciuszko Street. - Derek Gee / Buffalo News

Twenty-six years ago, when Sister Mary Johnice Rzadkiewicz was studying at a Philadelphia seminary, Mother Teresa came to town, and the two women sat at the same lunch table.

“Mother, do you think I could come to Calcutta?” Sister Mary Johnice asked. “I want to learn how to work with the poor.”

“She looked at me and said, ‘Little sister, go back to your neighborhood. Find your Calcutta there.’”

That’s exactly what Sister Mary Johnice did.
