high altar at Corpus Christi Catholic Church, while a mural above depicts Christ enthroned.)<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Opening up the Buffalo News today and finding Corpus Christi on the front page of the Lifestyles section truly made my day\u2026but that is only the start of it\u2026of the 15 churches featured in the \u201cArt Sanctuaries\u201d piece by Charity Vogel, four are from the Broadway-Fillmore area (Corpus Christi, St. Ann\u2019s, St. Adalbert\u2019s and St. Stan\u2019s).<\/p>\n<p>This is a clear illustration of what we have here in B-F in terms of churches which are not only neighborhood treasures, but treasures for WNY as well\u2026it also is a clear illustration of what we will lose if St. Adalbert\u2019s and St. Ann\u2019s close.<\/p>\n<p>These buildings are alive\u2026they don\u2019t have to be restored like the Central Terminal\u2026everything must be done to ensure that they remain alive for generations to come\u2026.they are a testament to the neighborhood\u2019s cultural heritage and are an enduring legacy of beauty given to us by B-F\u2019s forefathers and mothers\u2026buildings built by people with modest lifestyles and a lot of faith.<\/p>\n<p>If you are reading this from oustide of the Historic Polonia District or if you used to go to one of the churches in the neighborhood, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.broadwayfillmorealive.org\/adopt.php\" target=_blank><strong>consider coming home to one of the churches<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is like Father Anzelm of Corpus Christi says\u2026the extra 10-15 ride on a Sunday morning to attend church in Polonia isn\u2019t all that much of a sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"
