Next Sunday is Second Sunday in Broadway-Fillmore
As part of an ongoing effort to get people to attend a B-F church at least every second of the month throughout the year, here are two churches that are having great events next weekend in the neighborhood.
Saint Adalbert Basilica is having their annual Kolędy Concert & Mass next weeked.
Corpus Christi Church is rededicating its Disputa Mural with a Mass and celebration next weekend as well.
Public Invited to Rededication, Expert's Presentationon the Mural's Significance & Restoration
Both events highlight the importance of these incredible churches as not only treasures for the neighborhood, but Buffalo and Western New York as well.

Special shout out to the Am-Pol Eagle for this:
Last week we reported that Broadway Fillmore Alive is starting a program called Second Sundays in Broadway Fillmore. It is an effort to encourage people to support the East Side’s historic churches. They are calling on Polonia and the community at large to pick one of the churches in the neighborhood every second Sunday of the month and attend Mass there.
Churches that are a part of Second Sundays include: Corpus Christi Church, St. Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr, St. Ann’s, St. John Kanty, St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy and St. Adalbert Basilica.
We think this is a great idea to build attendance and revitalize the parishes that meant so much to so many for so long. We applaud the organizers and hope they continue to promote this idea.
The Am-Pol Eagle is one of the neighborhood’s biggest supporters and do a lot to help keep it A L I V E!

Walking tour of St. Ann’s neighborhood
Broadway Street, on Buffalo’s near east side, has long been home to its immigrant population, from nineteenth century Germania to a twenty-first century community which includes African Americans, and former residents of Burundi, the Congo, Liberia, Rwanda and Sudan.
In the 1850s, German immigrants settled a neighborhood anchored by its churches, one of which was St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church. The area’s population grew as did its church. The result is one of the most extraordinary church buildings in Buffalo, a city filled with exceptional ecclesiastical architecture. The stone church was constructed by its parishioners from 1878-1886 and consecrated at that time, a rare feat, indicating that the structure was free and clear of debt.
While the future of the congregation and the church is far from clear, the congregation has presided over ongoing efforts to preserve St. Ann’s Church as an important religious and cultural anchor in Buffalo and in Western New York. A two-hour walking tour will include a meander through the neighborhood surrounding St. Ann’s church, full of surviving nineteenth century homes and churches of alternate Christian denominations, some listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The tour will conclude with an exterior and interior tour of St. Ann’s Church, led by Martin F. Ederer, professor of history at Buffalo State College and author of Buffalo’s Catholic Churches. Proceeds from the tour will support St. Ann’s building restoration effort.
Cost is $10.00
