Summary

Description
English: Try Jesus Ministries, 190 Fillmore Avenue at East Eagle Street, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. Designed by architect George Dietel, the church is a moderately proportioned brick building in a simplified Gothic Revival design built in 1920 on the site of a former gas station; the steepleless central tower is flat-roofed and crowned with a cross bottony, with paired Gothic-arched louvered windows piercing each side near its top, the fenestration pattern understated, with the lack of a large rose window notable. The building was originally home to St. Rita's Roman Catholic Church, founded in 1919 in service to Buffalo's Slovak-American Catholic community, who had previously worshiped with other immigrants from the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the far-flung St. Elizabeth's parish in Black Rock. The latter part of the 20th century into the 21st saw the shape and character of the parish be changed by a repeated series of mergers: in 1981, St. Rita's merged with the recently-dissolved St. Patrick parish who had heretofore met in a now-demolished building on Seymour Street; then in 1995, the merged congregation of SS. Rita & Patrick accepted the congregation of St. Monica into the fold after their church in The Valley was closed; then in 2007, under the auspices of the diocese's "Journey in Faith and Grace" consolidation program, SS. Rita & Patrick itself merged with several other parishes into the new St. Clare RC Church and ceased to exist as an independent parish. The current occupant of the building is an African-American congregation that's been there since 2009.
