Blessed Trinity’s Exterior
Saturday, May 15, 2021 at 10:30 a.m.
Blessed Trinity is happy to announce the resumption of church tours with an Explore Buffalo Walking Tour of our Landmark building’s exterior on May 15, 2021. A team of Blessed Trinity docents will be happy to share their knowledge of the history and construction of this Lombard-Romanesque treasure, including the hand-formed Harvard bricks laid in a medieval fashion and the extensive used of terra cotta. And they’ll also help “crack the code” of the church’s medieval iconography. Bring your binoculars. There are examples of Christian symbolism on display all the way to the roof line! Plenty of off-street parking, too. This is a ticketed event, with a portion of the cost being returned to Blessed Trinity. For ticket information, click HERE.

St. John Paul II Schola Cantorum
We regret that the current COVID-19 Protocols have forced the cancellation of our Tenebrae Service.
Tenebrae Service
Friday, April 3, 2020
7:30 PM
An adaptation of the Good Friday Liturgy of Tenebrae will take place in our church on Friday evening, April 3, at 7:30 p.m., with choral music provided by The St. John Paul II Schola Cantorum. This is the second year we have been blessed to have the Schola enhance this moving service, which includes seven readings relating the story of Christ’s passion and death. It is a beautiful prelude to Holy Week, and we hope you will be there to pray with us.
Our church is large enough to allow ample distance between worshipers.
Located at 317 Leroy Avenue (between Fillmore and Grider) in Buffalo,
it is also wheelchair accessible with ample off-street parking.
