I was lucky enough to sit in with Pastor Beckwith awhile back and listen to what he had to say. I was one of the few attendees that was not African American. It was a good, uplifting, hopeful, optimistic and positive service that It's large and old and imposing and a brown colour that reminds me of some of the churches back in England. It's one of about 50 amazing old churches in the Buffalo area, and it will definitely make you weep when you remember Zion.

There is a good area for parking but otherwise you'd have to street park when it gets full. Inside was very clean and well maintained. I must admit i actually liked the simplicity but neatness of their decor. From holy images, to the altar and even window mosaics. The aesthetics of this church blended nicely with each other which also help you get into a state of calm and prayer. Very lucky to have found this church and attend one of their Sunday masses.

I made the assumption that this was a cathedral. I was wrong.

I was here a few weeks ago after eating at Nick's on Amherst and then stopping in at the wonderful Spar's Sausage Shop. It's very close to both on Amherst Street and totally dominates this portion of the skyline. It's absolutely spectacular inside and out. It's one of Buffalo's hidden gems because it is hardly a tourist attraction. It reminds me of Europe, and really adds a great deal to the West Side. Speaking of great deals, check out the huge portion of Chicken Souvlaki at Nick's on Amherst St (only open until 3pm), which is delicious and cheap. Definitely one of the prettiest churches in the area, but I'm not a church expert so what do I know. I did take a cathedrals class in University, and this church is so nice that it would have fit right in with all of those grand old (and much larger, but similarly old and beautiful) buildings of Europe. My disclaimer is that I'm not religious, will never be religious, and if I was going to be religious, I'd choose Scientology, because then I could look like Tom Cruise. Oh wait, he's really short isn't he? Never mind then. Skip the Scientology. Maybe I'd choose Hinduism since I like the sound of a god named "Buddha", and then be genuinely surprised when I find out that their god is not Buddha. I'd be like, "I can't believe it's not Buddha!"

I can't write this review from the standpoint of a churchgoer (I'm not), but I will tell you that…read morethis is one GORGEOUS church and well worth a visit from anyone who appreciates great architecture. Built to serve a largely Polish neighborhood, the first church on the site was built in 1888, with the current massive Romanesque structure following in 1914. It's a towering beauty from the outside, but the interior is truly a spectacular space that reflects a quality of artistic workmanship unparalleled in modern buildings. Bring your camera--and bring a few bucks to add to the donation jar. Buildings like this cost a lot to maintain, but they add immeasurably to the beauty of our city.

In addition to the gorgeous main altar and stunning vaulted ceiling, stained glass windows, and other religious effects, the choir and the organist and the German-American band were all in top form. This year's German Mass was held December 4, and it was the largest turnout I have seen for the annual event. German language missals are provided so that even those unfamiliar with German may follow along. This is a splendid Christmas event that I recommend to everyone, regardless of personal beliefs. Architecturally and historically, the church is also on many must-visit lists for Buffalo, New York.

WNY's churches are among the most gorgeous structures in the region, and this is one of a dozen or so truly spectacular structures which is five star inside and out in my personal opinion.

Heres what it is on the inside - "an interreligious/ecumenical organization of denominations, congregations, and religious organizations located in Western New York State, U.S.A. and the Niagara Peninsula of Southern Ontario, Canada." - direct from their website. What they do is offer space for many different groups to come and meet. The space helps those groups come together and talk to each other as well. Sharing experiences and faiths, hoping to keep a dialog going so different faiths learn more about each other. They also allow a place for different faiths to come together and work together on common issues and concerns. The group is not a religious organization in itself, its an umbrella under which different faiths can come together and learn about each other. Easy parking behind the building, but look for "unreserved" spaces. 1876

Obviously I need to update that picture with one when they're actually open, because when they are open it's crazy busy. Nevertheless, there she is in all her glory. Open every Sunday from 9-5pm, the hours of a true Flea Market, and boasting an admission price of only $0.25 I believe. You too can partake in the adventure of a lifetime. This place has it all, and none of that dollar store crap. I've found so many amazing deals here that I actually have to restrain myself from going every week. They usually even have local farmers selling produce outside. There are 3 giants rooms filled with booth after booth and you can easily kill a few hours here. Take your time and look carefully, there's a lot of junk in there and you really have to scan through everything to find the gold. They also have a small restaurant, which doesn't really have much that I can eat other then fries, but it's there if you need it. One quick tip: If you drive around to the back of the building, you should be able to find a decent parking place because no one seems to think there's parking back there, along with a separate entrance.
