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.

The parish was then recommissioned as Blessed Sacrament Church. The parish operates with a mission to love God, love neighbors, and make disciples.
