A little while afterward, I joined Corpus Christi and then get very involved with the church.<\/p>\n<p>What is most inspiring to me about Father Anzelm and the rest of the Pauline Fathers, is that are really down to Earth people\u2026it was easy for me to connect with the church and become part of the Parish community.<\/p>\n<p>What the church has accomplished in the last six years is amazing\u2026from being on the brink of closure in 2003 to being in a mode of restoring the church and growth in 2010 is truly a success story.<\/p>\n<p>At the top of it all was Father Anzelm guiding his flock\u2026he will be the first to tell you that Corpus Christi\u2019s success isn\u2019t necessarily tied to any one person, but a lot of the success comes from him leading the way.<\/p>\n<p>In typical Father Anzelm style, he didn\u2019t want any type of farewell party and all he wanted as a send off is to have the church packed for his final mass next Sunday at 11:30.  Father has always like when the church is full.<\/p>\n<p>Please come next Sunday and HELP PACK THE CHURCH!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php?#\/event.php?eid=294992220427&ref=nf\">There is a Facebook event page setup for the mass\u2026click here to see<\/a>\u2014><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/corpuschristibuffalo.org\">http:\/\/corpuschristibuffalo.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have heard already, but if you haven\u2019t, Father Anzelm Chalupka is being reassigned to Church of St Casimir in Yonkers, New York.
