Book on Corpus Christi Church’s Stained Glass Windows Officially Released

Today was the official release of “Adorned in Light: The Stained Glass of Corpus Christi Church” at Corpus Christi Church.  The event featured a book signing by author Greg Witul in the church’s Kolbe Center.

I’ve been through about half the book myself and it is a great read.  If you are like me, you sit in B-F’s churches and examine a lot of the artwork including the stained glass windows.  This book gives you the story on the windows at Corpus Christi Church and is a must read for anyone who appreciates the quality of work put into bringing them to life.  It also reaffirms what a treasure Corpus Christi is and what a valuable part of B-F it remains.

Here are some photos from the book signing.

NOVEMBER 28 BOOK SIGNING, GERALDINE WIERZBICKI-ROACH @ BROADWAY MARKET

THUS BOUND-THE STORY OF TADZIU AND MARYSZA is a novel about Tadziu and Marysza, the children of Polish immigrants and their lives from the Great Depression through modern times. The setting for the novel is Buffalo and while it chronicles couple’s enduring love, it has a surprise and stunning ending.

GERALDINE WIERZBICKI-ROACH was born, raised and educated in Buffalo, New York and earned her Ph.D. in English literature from SUNY Buffalo. Her dissertation focused on the novels of George Eliot and Dorothy Richardson. She has taught in colleges in and around the city for seven years. Gerry and her husband, Robert, reside in West Seneca, a town near the city she knows so well and which serves as the setting for the novel. As a single mother facing financial stress and hard work, Gerry raised a daughter and two sons, all of whom have brought her great pride. She believes we do not understand our own happiness. “Looking back on that challenge, I remember the strength my children gave me and realize that the years I thought were difficult were some of the happiest years in my life.” She frequently visits her twelve grandchildren, who are scattered throughout the northeast.
