Blessed Sacrament Church
Buffalo, New York
Blessed Sacrament Church is a Catholic parish located in Buffalo, New York, near Elmwood Village and the Delaware District. Founded in 1887 as a chapel for the second Bishop of Buffalo, Stephen Vincent Ryan, the church expanded to serve a growing congregation. In 1915, St. Joseph's New Cathedral was dedicated adjacent to the church with capacity for 1,500 people. The cathedral was demolished in 1976 after sixty years due to deteriorating materials. The parish was then recommissioned as Blessed Sacrament Church. The parish operates with a mission to love God, love neighbors, and make disciples. Guiding principles include Faith, Hope, Love, Mercy, and Justice. The community offers committed ministries, children's programming, service opportunities, and year-round events including concerts, tailgates, and Taizé prayer.
