| Qimmatbaho qon |  | 145 Lyuis St. | 1898 | 1899 | Albert A. Post | 2007 | Gothic Revival cherkov binosi bir vaqtlar devoriy rasmni o'z ichiga olgan Masih Shoh cherkov rassomi tomonidan 20-yillarda bo'yalgan Jozef Mazur apsis semidomasida. Parish initially comprised a community of mostly Irish- and German-Americans working in the Jacob Dold Packing Plant and similar businesses around the Buffalo stockyards, but was Polish-majority by v. 1910 as that ethnicity came to dominate the meatpacking industry.[3] The Felician Franciscan Sisters were in charge of the school, and a convent was built for them on the property in 1964.[75] The parish merged in 2007 with St. Valentine, St. Stephen, Holy Apostles SS. Peter and Paul, and SS. Rita and Patrick and vacated the building at that time.[6] Now home to an African-American Baptist congregation.[16] |
| Tinchlik malikasi |  | 1955 Genesee St. | 1920 | 1928 | Dietel & Wade | 2007 | Parish originally served a Polish-American community that, in the years immediately after World War I, had migrated north from the city's main Polish enclave in Broadway-Fillmore. Notable for its architecture; building is in Late Gothic Revival style[76] with a façade of Ohio sandstone accented with Indiana limestone and a floor plan unlike any other Catholic church in Buffalo; a cross-shaped, multipurpose structure encompassing a rectory to the west, a school building to the east, and the worship space itself extending north-to-south between them.[3] Interior once decorated with mural paintings by Jozef Mazur, now painted over.[77] Parish dissolved in wake of the diocese's "Journey in Faith and Grace" parish consolidation program; was purchased in 2009 and is now a mosque and Islamic community center; Jizvit -run parochial school on site remained open for some time thereafter.[78] |
| Queen of the Most Holy Rosary |  | 1040 Sycamore St. | 1913 | 1917 | Władysław Zawadzki | 1993 | Parish was established by the Buffalo Diocese as a pretext to acquiring the church building formerly belonging to Holy Mother of the Rosary at a foreclosure auction; they were a renegade "independent Catholic" church that, due to longstanding disagreements within the congregation of St. Adalbert, seceded in 1895 not only from the parish but from the Diocese itself; they later aligned with the Polsha milliy katolik cherkovi. Current building was constructed after Holy Mother of the Rosary won its church back in a subsequent lawsuit.[3] Architecturally, the building is an example of Zawadzki's signature quasi-French Renaissance style[79] with some Gothic Revival elements added.[80] After the parish's 1993 merger with St. Adalbert's Basilica, the building was purchased by Darul Uloom Al-Madaniya Islamic Seminary for use as its girls' school, known as Darul Rasheed; ironically, they also own the original Holy Mother of the Rosary building too, which is now their mosque. |
| Muqaddas yurak |  | 200 Emslie St. | 1875 | 1915 | Schmill & Gould | 1973 | Parish originally served German-American community that had gathered in the Hydraulics neighborhood; worshiped initially in various temporary locations then built a church on Seneca Street in what later became the midst of the Larkin sovun kompaniyasi zavod majmuasi. Larkin purchased original church in 1912 to facilitate expansion of their operations, whereupon it was vacated by the congregation.[3] Present church built of brick and Ohio sandstone[7] in the Late Gothic Revival style with an imposing tripartite clerestory; complex also included a school, rectory, and Frantsiskan convent surrounding a courtyard.[81] After parish dissolution, served variously as home to a Ukrainian Orthodox church and Witness Cathedral of Faith; endi bo'sh.[82] School and rectory demolished in 2008 and 2017 respectively; convent and church still extant as of 2019 but at risk of qarovsiz qoldirib buzish.[83] |
| St. Adalbert Basilica |  | 208 Stanislaus St. | 1886 | 1891 | Raymond Huber | 2011 | Second Polish Catholic parish in Buffalo, founded due to overcrowding at St. Stanislaus. Originally envisioned as center of master-planned community including a park, home for the aged, and immigration house; plan abandoned when original church burned down. Infighting among parishioners in 1880s and '90s led to high turnover of pastors and schism leading to foundation of "independent Catholic" parish Holy Mother of the Rosary, later affiliated with Polsha milliy katolik cherkovi.[3] First church in the United States to be named a basilica (1907). Present church sports Romanesque and Byzantine influences and was largest in Buffalo at the time of its construction. Interior decorated with murals by Jozef Mazur[84] completed in 1925, many of which were removed in a 1976 renovation, as well as stained glass by Franz Mayer & Co. of Munich.[85] Parish merged with St. John Kanty and is now used by them as an notiqlik san'ati.[86] |
| Avliyo Agata |  | 65 Abbott Rd. | 1909 (as All Souls) | 1956 | Mortimer J. Murphy | 2010 | Parish originally known as All Souls; founded to serve the Italian-American community that had coalesced in the western part of the Triangle neighborhood near the railroads where many of them worked, though by 1917 it had become Irish-majority.[87] Original wood-frame church at the corner of Germania and Mystic Streets suffered damage in June 1920 when the floor caved in under the weight of the parishioners at a particularly well-attended Sunday Mass; the congregation was temporarily disbanded pending repairs and was renamed St. Agatha upon its reopening the following year. Austere design of the 1956 combination church/school is owed to the fact that the parish was traditionally small and did not have the need for, nor the financial resources to support, a large and extravagant building such as many parishes in Buffalo had at the time.[3] Merged with Holy Family and St. Ambrose to form the new Our Lady of Charity parish,[18] who later sold the building to developer Sam Savarino. As of 2018, the building is proposed to be converted into apartments, offices, or educational or performing arts space.[19] |
| Sent-Agnes |  | 194 Ludington St. | 1882 | 1905 | Esenvayn va Jonson | 2007 | The first of what were ultimately three parishes in the neighborhood of Lovejoy, initially serving a mixed German and Irish community attracted to the area by availability of jobs on the railroad; Irish parishioners seceded in 1898 to found Visitation parish. Congregation became majority-Italian after World War II. Church is Romanesque Revival in style[3] and one of few ever to have been designed by the otherwise prolific local firm of Esenwein & Johnson. Stained glass installed 1919-1921 was the work of Otto F. Andrle; six mural paintings by D'Arcangelo Studios once adorned the interior, five of which were removed in 1985. Parish merged with Visitation and St. Francis of Assisi to form the new St. Katharine Drexel parish, which meets in the latter's former home on North Ogden Street.[34] Now a Buddhist temple owned by the International Sangha Bhiksu Buddhist Association.[88] |
| Sankt-Ambrose |  | 260 Okell St. | 1930 | 1950 | Foit & Baschnagel | 2010 | Established from the southern part of the territory of Holy Family parish; the modest frame church constructed on the site was not replaced with a permanent structure until 1950, due to the economic hardship of the Katta depressiya and supplies rationing during Ikkinchi jahon urushi.[3] The building was designed in a Modernist style and is most notable for its stained glass, created in 1992 by local artist Russell Vacanti; its imagery was inspired by the reforms of the Ikkinchi Vatikan Kengashi and deals with themes such as socioeconomic justice, gun violence, drug abuse, interfaith relations, and others not typically seen in stained glass art. Merged with Holy Family and St. Agatha under the auspices of the diocese's "Journey in Faith and Grace" consolidation program to form the new Our Lady of Charity parish;[18] the building still hosts two Sunday masses a week, as well as Saturday evening vigil and midweek Masses on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.[58] |
| Sent-Ann |  | 651 Broadway | 1858 | 1886 | Brother Charles Halfmann, from drawings by Francis Himpel | 2007 | Founded at what was then edge of Buffalo's urbanized area under correct assumption that new church would be catalyst for outward expansion of city's East Side German community; by turn of century was largest German parish in diocese and among largest Catholic churches in the U.S.;[89] its school was also largest in Buffalo at the time, with 1,500 students.[7] Construction of current church began 1878 and lasted six years; was designed by assistant pastor who was also amateur architect, based on sketch drawn by a New York architect whose original design was rejected as too costly. Gothic Revival design described as most European of any church in city; walls 7 feet thick, built of steel-reinforced Lokport dolomite. West tower shorter than east due to inability of ground to support its weight; spires once rose over 200 feet above street, removed 1964 after damage due to wind storm. Interior contains stained glass by F. X. Zettler Studiyalari Myunxen, altar imported from Germany featuring painting of Seynt-Anne, large fresco paintings by Leo Frohe;[3] Johnson & Son pipe organ sold for scrap in 1966.[90] Parish began to share ministry team and pool resources with St. Mary of Sorrows and SS. Columba-Brigid in 1992 as part of reorganization of "central city" parishes[26] but challenged outright merger with the latter as part of subsequent consolidation; latter decision reaffirmed by diocese in 2013 and by Vatican's Havoriy Signatura 2017 yilda,[91] though building's 2013 nomination as a Buffalo city landmark[11] forestalled diocese's original plan to demolish it. |
| Avgustin | No image available | 417 Michigan Ave. | 1912[92] | between 1854 and 1872 (as private residence)[93] | noma'lum | v. 1946 yil[94] | Short-lived mission established on the Near East Side to serve a small congregation of African-American Catholics that had heretofore worshiped at St. Joseph's Cathedral, from which the parish continued to be administrated. Parish also operated a school and offered manual training classes.[7] After dissolution of parish, building housed a nightclub, Club Savoy.[95] Demolished shortly after 1960 as part of the same urban renewal scheme that claimed the former St. Lucy church.[96] Site is now part of the parking lot in front of the Compass East Building. |
| Avliyo Varfolomey |  | 335 Grider St. | 1912 | 1930 | George W. Stickle | 1993 | Parish founded in an East Side neighborhood then newly urbanizing due to construction of a streetcar line along nearby Kensington Avenue; served an initially German-American congregation.[97] English Gothic-style building constructed largely of cobblestones salvaged from then-recent repaving of Elm Street downtown; entrance portal and frontispiece are of Indiana limestone; interior decorated with handcrafted woodwork.[98] Parish population peaked at 1,000 families in 1962 but fell precipitously thereafter due to demographic changes in neighborhood; school closed 1978; parish began sharing a priest with St. Matthew in 1989;[3] merged with Blessed Trinity as part of diocesan consolidation program for inner-city parishes.[26] Now home of Ephesus Ministries, a nondenominational African-American church. Former rectory notable as site of murder of then-pastor Rev. Joseph Bissonnette, one of two Buffalo priests slain over a two-week period in 1987,[99] as well as that of Sister Karen Klimcak in 2006, ironically after its conversion to a halfway house for former prisoners named in honor of Bissonnette.[29] |
| Mur Benedikt | No image available | 281 E. Utica St. | 1874 (as St. Nicholas) | 1893 | Fred Mohr | 1993 | Parish founded under the name St. Nicholas in Cold Spring, then a well-to-do East Side German neighborhood without a Catholic parish of its own; growing Irish ethnic minority led to bilingual services by 1891. Worshiped in three church buildings each consecutively bigger to accommodate population growth, the final of which was a Gothic-style building[3] with asymmetrical spires 80 and 120 feet in height respectively; towers featured exquisite pointed-arched fenestration in various arrangements.[100] Parish became majority-black in the 1970s and was renamed in 1981 to honor prominent saint of African descent.[92] Merged upon its closure with the neighboring parishes of Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Boniface, and St. Matthew under the new name of St. Martin de Porres.[42] Church building demolished v. 1990-yillarning oxiri;[101] site now occupied by various detached single-family homes built in 2000.[16] |
| Sent-Bonifas |  | 151 Mulberry St. | 1849 (as St. John the Baptist) | 1857 | noma'lum | 1993 | The third German-American Catholic church in Buffalo, serving the Fruit Belt neighborhood northeast of downtown. The church was founded under the name St. John the Baptist and given the new name St. Boniface in 1857 upon the completion of its second church building, an English Romanesque-style structure whose sanctuary was centered on an altar presented to the congregation by King Bavariya Lyudvig II featuring a large oil painting of Avliyo Bonifas. The church also purchased a rare Aoliya organ in 1939 for use in services.[102] The parish population had already begun declining by 1914,[7] and by 1970 had shrunk to fewer than 100 families, leading to the demolition of the church building in 1979. The congregation continued holding Mass in the former Parish House on Locust Street[103] until its merger with Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Benedict the Moor, and St. Matthew to form the new parish of St. Martin de Porres.[42] The site of the original church is now a vacant lot, while the Parish House has been owned since 1995 by Teen Challenge, a faith-based drug recovery organization.[104] |
| Sent-Brigid | No image available | 399 Louisiana St. | 1850 | 1860 | Rev. Martin O'Connor[105] | 1987 | The first Catholic parish to be erected in the city's First Ward, a crowded area of working-class Irish industrial laborers, St. Brigid served as social center for the neighborhood and had an influential voice in community affairs, especially in labor disputes such as the one between industrial magnate William "Fingy" Conners and the city grain scoopers' union in 1899. Parish gained a sizable African-American and Hispanic contingent after the construction of the Commodore Perry housing projects[106] 1940 yilda.[107] Church was badly damaged in a 1968 fire and razed the following year; Mass was held in a chapel in the school building until the parish's 1987 merger with St. Columba.[24] The St. Bridgid's Square (sic) shopping plaza now occupies the site of the former church.[108] |
| Sankt-Casimir |  | 160 Cable St. | 1890 | 1929 | Oakley & Schallmo | 2012 | Parish served initially small and isolated Polish community along Clinton Street near the city line which began to grow rapidly after turn of century; original frame church replaced consecutively by larger one in 1908 and even larger current building for which ground was broken in 1926; Vizantiya tiklanishi design inspired by Rev. Anthony Majewski's travels to the Near East and desire for church architecturally unlike any other in the diocese.

| Sent-Kler |  | 197 Elk St. | 2007 | 1888 (as home of predecessor parish St. Stephen) | Fred W. Humble | 2016 | Parish merged with St. Teresa's upon its closure. St. Clare itself was the product of a 2007 merger between the parishes of SS. Rita and Patrick, St. Valentine, Holy Apostles SS. Peter & Paul, Precious Blood, and St. Stephen, worshipping in the church formerly belonging to the latter.[6] Building was sold in 2017 to a local sound engineer who plans to turn it into a recording studio[111] va ro'yxatiga kiritilgan Tarixiy joylarning milliy reestri 2018 yilda.[112] |
| Sankt-Kolumba |  | 75 Hickory St. | 1888 | 1892 | noma'lum | 1987 | Parish founded in what was then a majority-Irish district on the Near East Side without a conveniently located Catholic church. Held services at first in a converted tenement house before completion of permanent church, a relatively austerely decorated Romanesque-style building whose interior was centered on a marble altar topped with a Celtic cross. Over the years, the ethnic makeup of the congregation changed to Italian and then became largely Hispanic[3] after 1960, when St. Lucy's parish was dissolved and its congregation merged into St. Columba's. Long famous as home of the "Printers' Mass", which took place at 1:30AM on Sunday mornings from 1925 until 1971 for the benefit of late-shift newspaper workers.[3] Parish merged with St. Brigid's,[24] and the combined SS. Columba-Brigid continued to meet in the former's church until it was demolished after a 2004 fire.[28] |
| Sankt-Elizabeth |  | 986 Grant St. | 1906 | 1908 | Max Beierl | 2007 | Parish served Buffalo's Hungarian-American community, the bulk of whom lived in Black Rock in vicinity of church; however, parish counted members citywide as well as in Lackawanna va Tonavanda due to the fact that it was the only Catholic church in Western New York where Mass was said in the Hungarian language. Church was built of brick and is Romanesque Revival in style,[7] with steel-truss roof and open floor plan.[3] Was still offering Hungarian-language services at time of its merger with Assumption parish as part of 2000s-'10s diocesan consolidation program.[113] Now home of Abundant Life in Christ Ministries, a Pentecostal church with a predominantly African-American congregation. |

Original combination church/school building erected 1919 was meant to be temporary, but unexpectedly slow growth in parish population kept it in use much longer than anticipated.[3] Permanent church building Modernist in style; contained stained glass windows in sanctuary depicting Polish saints which were removed upon the parish's dissolution due to the diocese's "Journey in Faith and Grace" consolidation program.[114] Now home to the nondenominational Renovation Church.[115] |
| Sankt-Frensis-Sotish |  | 575 Humboldt Pkwy. | 1912 | 1927 | Murphy & Olmstead with George Dietel | 1993 | Foundation of parish coincided with sale of defunct Buffalo Driving Park site to real estate developers; diocese correctly predicted rapid growth of new East Side neighborhood of Hamlin Park. Current building was third to house parish,[3] replacing a brick combination church/school building built in 1913 and a small temporary church built in 1912, respectively.[7] Most notable for its architecture; an Italian Romanesque design suggestive of churches in Ravenna, with Indiana limestone façade, ceramic tile roof, and 140-foot campanile overlooking Humboldt Parkway; interior bedecked in colorful mosaics executed in Guastavino plitkasi.[116] Building has passed through various owners after closure due to reorganization of inner-city parishes; much of original stained glass was stripped in 2004 by subsequent owner in violation of local preservation law, leading to criticism of city government for lax enforcement.[117] Building was named a Buffalo city landmark in 1978 and is a contributing property to the locally-[11] va Tarixiy joylarning milliy reestri - ro'yxatga olingan Xamlin bog'i tarixiy tumani.[118] |

Rumschick | 2007 | Founded to serve the Italian-American residents of the multiethnic neighborhood of Lovejoy,[3] who arrived slightly later than the Germans and Irish who attended St. Agnes and Visitation, respectively, but who came to demographic dominance after the Second World War. In 2007, as part of the "Journey in Faith and Grace" program, the Buffalo diocese merged Lovejoy's three Catholic parishes into one, which was given the new name St. Katharine Drexel and which continues to meet in the former St. Francis church complex.[34] |

| Sent-Jeyms |  | 3021 Bailey Ave. | 1916 | between 1935 and 1951[129] | noma'lum | 2007 | Parish founded to serve mixed German/Irish community in an East Side area that was still semirural at the time but rapidly urbanizing. Ground was broken for the current building in 1926, but construction soon stalled due to lack of funding; congregation worshipped in the basement (the only completed portion of the building) until completion of present church, an unusual-looking Gothic Revival-style building with an enormous, deeply recessed portal dominating the front façade. Interior of church was renovated 1980[3] but parish population began to decline soon after; shared a pastor with St. Gerard parish for last two years of its existence.[130] After closure of church, building served for a time as a food pantry;[131] now home to a Baptist church serving the local Karen refugee community.[132] |

| Suvga cho'mdiruvchi Yuhanno |  | 60 Hertel Ave. | 1867 | 1927 | Oakley & Schallmo | 2007 | Second Catholic parish in Black Rock, founded to serve the Anglophone Irish community that heretofore had worshiped at the German-majority St. Francis Xavier; congregation grew rapidly throughout the 19th century despite 1885 foundation of Annunciation parish to which more than half of St. John the Baptist's former parish was divided out; complex continually expanded to accommodate growth and included a rectory, school, litsey, and convent by 1914.[7] Church sports a mix of Italian Gothic[133] and Spanish Baroque Revival influences typical of the output of its architects, with exquisite terra cotta detailing both inside and out.[3] Building was named a Buffalo city landmark 1978 yilda.[11] Parish merged with Annunciation as part of diocesan consolidation program; building's purchase two years later by Rev. Ronald Kirk as home of Witness Cathedral of Faith was controversial as congregation had recently been evicted from their previous home, the former Sacred Heart Catholic Church, as neglect of structural maintenance had led to the building being unsafe for occupancy.[134] Church is now vacant; former school is home to RiverRock Church, a congregation affiliated with the Buffalo Myanmar Indigenous Christian Fellowship.[135] |
| Avliyo Yuhanno |  | 2319 Seneca St. | 1907 | 1931 | Karl Schmill & Sons | 2009 | Founded by German-speaking faction at St. Teresa who petitioned bishop for establishment of new parish where services would be conducted in their language; however, rapid population growth in parish (and South Buffalo in general) in ensuing years[3] meant congregation had Anglophone majority by 1914.

Interior contains exquisite mural paintings in apse depicting scenes from Vahiy kitobi, the work of artist Valdemar Kjeldgaard, as well as stained glass by Rambusch Dekoratsiya kompaniyasi.[136] Building purchased in 2014 by local real estate investor intending to convert it to an event space,[137] but was resold in 2016[16] to another development group for conversion to apartments and commercial space, possibly including a craft brewery.[138] |
| Aziz Jozef yangi sobori |  | 1015 Delaware Ave. | 1847 (as Avliyo Jozef sobori ) | 1915 | Aristide Leonori | 1976 | Intended as the new cathedral church of the Buffalo diocese, to replace the old one on Franklin Street downtown. The architect was a native of Rim unaccustomed to the considerations of design for cold climates like Buffalo's, and structural problems made themselves apparent almost immediately: the twin steeples were removed for safety reasons in 1927, and by the 1970s large sections of pews had to be roped off to protect congregants from the chunks of plaster that fell from the ceiling at regular intervals. Unwilling to pay the estimated cost of $2.2 million necessary to restore the building to a sound state, the diocese had it demolished, at which time the original St. Joseph's Cathedral reverted to its former role. Timon Towers, a senior citizens' apartment complex, occupies the site today.[139] |
| St. Lucy | No image available | 264 Swan St. | 1906 | shortly after 1914 | noma'lum | 1960 | Served a working-class Campanese Italian community on the Near East Side[3] who had heretofore been attending St. Columba church on account of the distance to St. Anthony of Padua, Buffalo's only established Italian parish at the time; a former Presbyterian church that had been purchased for their use, along with two adjacent houses that served respectively as a rectory and a parochial school staffed by Sisters of St. Mary of Namur dan Lokport, were replaced some time after 1914[7] by a larger building, magnificent and of Victorian style. The church, along with most of the 160-acre tract on which it stood, was demolished shortly after the parish's dissolution due to shahar yangilanishi of what was by then a blighted neighborhood. Most of its former congregants moved to other parts of the city;[140] those who didn't joined St. Columba parish.[24] The former site of the church remained vacant until 1991, when a tract of suburban-style housing was built there.[141] |
| Aziz Luqo |  | 1300 Sycamore St. | 1908 | 1930 | Oakley & Schallmo | 1993 | Founded to serve the Polish population[7] in the northeast corner of the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood, relatively far removed from other Polish Catholic churches at the time. Rapid growth of neighborhood in first quarter of the 20th century led to repeated cycle of construction of larger buildings to accommodate the congregation: original 1908 frame church was replaced the following year by a combination church/school, which in return was replaced by the current church. Architecture is Italian Romanesque in keeping with the firm's usual style; design based loosely on Qadimgi Piter Bazilikasi; most prominently features a glazed polychrome terra cotta frieze over the entrance depicting Biblical figures from the New and Old Testaments.[3] Interior contains four large fresco murals painted in the 1950s by Yan Genrik de Rozen and restored in 2006.[142] Parish purchased after its dissolution by local restaurateur with help from anonymous benefactor and now houses St. Luke's Mission of Mercy,[143] a charitable organization providing food for impoverished neighborhood residents boshqalar bilan bir qatorda.[144] |

Church is built of terra cotta brick[7] and is Romanesque in style; Moorish Revival cupolas that once topped its twin towers were replaced by current ones in simpler style after a 1964 windstorm.[90] Interior once contained mural paintings by Rochester, Nyu-York -based artist Albert Prentiss Ward imitating the style of Diego Velaskes,[3] no longer extant. Now home of Antioch Baptist Church.[146] |
| Sankt-qayg'u Maryam |  | 938 Genesee St. | 1872 | 1901; tower added 1905 | Adolphus Druiding | 2007 | Also known as the Church of the Seven Dolors. Founded in connection with St. Mary Redemptorist's parish cemetery[7] once located nearby on Dodge Street,[147] as well as due to the lack of any other Catholic church in the newly urbanizing area of Humboldt Park. Construction of current (second) church took 15 years; its Rhenish Romanesque design is exemplified by multitudinous rounded towers[3] and was inspired by that of Qurtlar sobori;[148] said to be the finest example of the style in Buffalo. Façade is rusticated and of Buffalo Plains limestone. Was one of the largest German Catholic parishes in the city by 1914, with a parish population of about 5,000 and a pastor active in countering sotsialistik political sympathies then popular among East Side German community. Current interior dates to $500,000 restoration after 1947 fire, which spared only the walls and the stained glass windows. Parish population began declining in the 1950s and '60s; in 1985, the diocese announced intentions to demolish the church due to high cost of maintenance,[149] which was prevented by its nomination as a Buffalo city landmark 1986 yilda;[11] it's now home to a community center[150] and was also used for a time as a charter school.[151] Services were held in chapel in former rectory after sale of original church;[152] parish population continued declining and began to share ministry team and resources with St. Ann and SS. Columba-Brigid in 1992 as part of reorganization of "central city" parishes[26] before merging with the latter as part of "Journey in Faith and Grace" program.[27] |
| St. Mary Redemptorist |  | 225 Broadway | 1843 | 1844 | noma'lum | 1981 | Founded by the German faction of the discord-plagued Lamb of God parish, parish served for many years as the headquarters for the local chapter of the Eng Muqaddas Qutqaruvchining yig'ilishi, whose territory stretched east to Elmira va shimoldan Toronto and whose itinerant priests held Masses for Catholics in rural communities too small to support their own churches. The St. Mary's complex, comprising the church, an adjacent convent, and St. Mary's Lyceum, was named a Buffalo city landmark 1980 yilda,[11] however the church was destroyed by fire in December 1986, and the convent was demolished in 1990.[153] The site of the church and the adjacent convent are occupied today by private homes; St. Mary's Lyceum is still extant and is used as storage space by the Belmont Management Company.[154] |

Construction of permanent church began in 1910 but stalled soon afterward due to lack of funds; congregation worshiped in basement of current building, covered by a temporary roof, until work recommenced in 1927. Church is Baroque in style, built of Ohio sandstone and with a design reminiscent of Axen sobori.

| Sent-Monika |  | 206 Orlando St. | 1912 | 1914 | Lansing, Bley & Lyman | 1995 | Parish met for its first two years in a rented storefront[7] before completion of its permanent building in the Seneca-Babcock neighborhood, an austere and utilitarian one that housed both church and school. Congregation was mixed Irish, Polish and German; parish boundaries were drawn to reflect geographic convenience rather than to encompass a particular ethnic enclave, an unusual phenomenon in Buffalo at the time.[155] Never particularly large in size, the parish was dissolved due to demographic changes in the neighborhood and the retirement of its leader, Msgr. William A. Setlock; the flock was given the choice to join the parishes of St. Stephen, St. Teresa, or SS. Rita & Patrick and voted for the latter.[156] The former St. Monica church building was demolished in 1999[157] and is now a vacant lot.[21] |
| Aziz Patrik |  | 39 Emslie St. | 1853 (as St. Vincent de Paul) | 1891 | Cyrus K.

Rita & Patrick merge with St. Valentine, Holy Apostles SS. Peter & Paul, Precious Blood, and St. Stephen parishes to form St. Clare.[6] Church building is of a simple Gothic Revival design, with stained glass by local glazier Jozef Mazur[162] and an interior sanctuary decorated with stencil art, the work of Slovak artisans.

| Aziz Stiven | | 197 Elk St. | 1875 | 1888 | Fred W. Humble | 2007 | The second Catholic parish to be established in the First Ward, St. Stephen was sited in the eastern part of the neighborhood for the convenience of those who heretofore had to walk long distances to get to St. Brigid. The current Gothic Revival-style building, erected in 1888, had an open-plan interior without pillars and once contained an organ built by the Garrett House Organ Company of Buffalo.[3] Its steeples were removed v. 1932 due to concerns about their structural integrity. As part of the diocese's "Journey in Faith and Grace" consolidation program, St. Stephen's parish merged with those of SS. Rita and Patrick, St. Valentine, Holy Apostles SS. Peter & Paul, and Precious Blood, taking the name St. Clare[6] and continuing to use the building for worship until 2016, when St. Clare itself merged with St. Teresa.
