For the eleventh\u00a0year in a row on Holy Thursday, Broadway Fillmore Alive has put together a self-guided pilgrimage to seven historic churches in the Broadway-Fillmore\/Polonia and Kaisertown areas partaking in the traditional visitation of the Blessed Sacrament in seven churches on this holy night.<\/p>\n
Churches this year include: Saint Stanislaus, Corpus Christi, Saint Adalbert Basilica, Saint Luke\u2019s Mission of Mercy, Saint John Kanty, Saint Casimir, and Saint Bernard’s.<\/p>\n
The visitation period generally begins after Holy Thursday Mass (around 8:00 pm) and most of the churches remain open to 11:00 pm.<\/p>\n
In the first year, Broadway Fillmore Alive had about 50 requests for the pilgrimage\u00a0info. The number of requests over the last few years has risen to over 2000.<\/p>\n
The churches in Buffalo\u2019s historic immigrant neighborhoods 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 during this most sacred time of year on the Roman Catholic calendar.<\/p>\n
Holy Thursday is on April 13th\u00a0this year.<\/p>\n
