Summary
| Description |
English: Our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Church, 115 O'Connell Street at Alabama Street, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. Founded in 1897 and with a church built in 1900, "Pet's" is the third chronologically of the four Roman Catholic parishes in Buffalo's First Ward, and the only one that remains an active parish today. A resplendent Gothic Revival design that's the work of the local firm of Lansing & Beierl, the church is faced in Medina sandstone and features a cruciform floor plan, a Gothic-arched triple portal facing O'Connell Street with trefoil patterns in the tympanums, and an imposing tower on the west side of the façade featuring pairs of Gothic-arched louvered windows (the original design called for a steeple atop it, but it was never completed) The parish was carved out of the territory of St. Brigid's and St. Stephen's churches due to persistent population growth in the Ward, and was for many years the traditional endpoint of Buffalo's St. Patrick's Day parade, as well as the first (temporary) home to Bishop Timon High School from 1946-48. |
