We took part in the Seven Churches tour last evening and it was spectacular! These churches and the people that still support them are the hidden gems of Buffalo. If you haven’t done this I would highly encourage everyone to get down to them this weekend and continue to support them….spread the word!!
Amen!
For me, I tried not to take too many pictures last night. Sometimes I just need to experience nights like this not looking through a lens.
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.
Please also consider joining the Saint Ann’s Parish Community for Adoration and Stations of the Cross at Saint Ann’s Church & Shrine every Friday in March.
5:00pm – Doors open
5:30pm – 6:30pm – Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
6:45pm – 7:15pm – Stations of the Cross
To inspire your Lenten Journey, the Parish family and friends at St. Ann’s Church & Shrine have produced this Station of the Cross video. Pray along each Friday–or even everyday!
This Sunday is Second Sunday in Broadway-Fillmore. Second Sundays is an effort to get people to come down to one of the neighborhood’s beautiful and historic churches at least one a month to help support them.
This month we are featuring Corpus Christi Church’s 11:30am Mass on Sunday. The Mass will feature the official book launch of “Adorned in Light: The Stained Glass of Corpus Christi Church” and book signing by its author Greg Witul. For more info, click here—>
Even if you can”t make it down for this Mass, you can come down and attend our other churches.
