Summary
| Description |
English: SS. Columba-Brigid RC Church, 75 Hickory Street, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. Founded in 1987 through the merger of St. Columba and St. Brigid parishes, the latter of whose church had burned in a 1968 fire, SS. Columba-Brigid held Mass for its first quarter-century-plus in the former St. Columba church until it, too, burned in 2004. Their current home is the newest Catholic church building in Buffalo, built in 2006; its construction was controversial given the then-recent trend of church closures and parish mergers throughout the city, leaving many architecturally significant buildings vacant and at risk of demolition. The merged SS. Columba-Brigid is notable as the home parish of Sister Karen Klimczak, co-founder of the Bissonnette House, a halfway home for former prisoners named after a Buffalo priest who was murdered by a vagrant in 1987, and who was herself murdered in 2006 by one of the house's residents. |
