On Wednesday, Corpus Christi Church received Preservation Buffalo Niagara’s award in the restoration category at a luncheon downtown.
The award illustrates how far Corpus Christi has come over the last seven years.
To almost closing in 2003…to the Pauline Fathers taking over the church in 2004…to the restoration efforts we see before our eyes at 199 Clark Street…all of it, a truly remarkable story.
It is also something I am very proud to be part of working alongside all of my friends and fellow parishioners who support Corpus Christi…an amazing group of people.
And the work continues… 
Alive!

Some great news on the BFA front as one of our co-founders was just named the Executive Director of Preservation Buffalo Niagara!
Michael Miller is one of the finest people I know and has a love for preservation which is tremendous.
I remember the first time I met Mike…it was about five years ago and I was at the Central Terminal manning a table for the Broadway Market at an event…he introduced himself and we got to talking about the neighborhood…over the next few months we communicated more and came up with the idea for Broadway Fillmore Alive along with our other co-founder Michele Johnson. All of us recognized the need to start promoting the neighborhood as a sum of all its parts. What amazed me most about Mike is that though his prime passion was with the Central Terminal, he understood the value of everything in the neighborhood…I am not only talking about buildings…its people, its charm, its unique character and place in the fabric of Buffalo.
That last line is what I believe is the most important thing Mike will bring to the table for Preservation Buffalo Niagara.
Congratulations Mike…we love you man! He will now be able to take his “passion” for preservation to a whole new level!
