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&#8230;it 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&#8230;from 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&#8230;he will be the first to tell you that Corpus Christi&#8217;s success isn&#8217;t 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&#8217;t 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&#038;ref=nf\">There is a Facebook event page setup for the mass&#8230;click here to see<\/a>&#8212;><\/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&#8217;t, Father Anzelm Chalupka is being reassigned to Church of St Casimir in Yonkers, New York.
