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!

As was reported here almost two weeks ago, the Central Terminal installed a new flagpole to replace one that was taken down for scrap some thirty years ago.

I finally had the opportunity to see it up and close over the weekend and decided to shoot a little video of it to share.

You can see old glory waving at the Terminal from a lot of different vantage points in the neighborhood.

What a great sight!

Alive!

This video is from the National Geographic series “Naked Science” and was shot at the Terminal in 10/2010.

Here is part of the back story…

Filming a Parallel Universe

By: Abigail Williams, Associate Producer

Filming parallel universes is a challenge – not only because no one is completely sure if they exist, but also because if they do exist they lie far beyond the reach of our most powerful telescopes or in a reality that is very close to ours but completely inaccessible. Even the latest HD cameras can’t catch one.

This is why we are here in Buffalo NY on a cold October morning. We’re shooting in Buffalo Central Terminal, a huge abandoned train station with an uncanny similarity to Grand Central in New York City. Deserted since 1979, the vast complex had been left to rot until a committee of locals and rail enthusiasts stepped in to try and save it. Some work has been done but the building is still spookily similar to the day the previous owners left.

We’ve come here to recreate a parallel universe. A universe our contributors, all internationally renowned physicists, promise is out there somewhere. A world where Grand Central Terminal has been abandoned and New York City evacuated.

Pretty cool stuff.

Just another video from last Saturday’s Koledy Concert and Mass at Saint Adalbert’s!!!

Just various B-F places shot while the snow was falling yesterday.

Enjoy!

I put together a slideshow featuring various images of Saint Adalbert Basilica.

After putting on YouTube and looking at it, I am on the fence about if I like it or not.

I am my worst critic.

The bottom line, it helps expose the world to Saint Adalbert Basilica.

Enjoy…

Parish Music Director Bruce Woody held a music camp for children at Corpus Christi this past week.

Today we got to see the results of the camp. The children performed at 8:15am Mass and then held a special percussion performance after church outside using garbage cans. I wonder what neighbors of CC thought when they heard the organized bagging of trash cans.

Pictures below are from camp this week…

Shot this early today while at Corpus Christi Church during 40 hours adoration of the Holy Eucharist…just something cool and divine about hanging out in church in the wee hours of the morning.
