Summary

Description
English: St. Katharine Drexel Roman Catholic Church, 133 North Ogden Street, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. Completed in 1960 to a Gothic Revival design by architect Albert A. Rumschick, the design of the building is austere even by the simplified standards of the contemporary era; notice especially the sleek, straight lines that characterize front façade, which features a pointed-arched central element encompassing stained-glass window and entrance, two pairs of simple buttresses, and narrow windows that look almost like arrow slits. The building was originally home church of the St. Francis of Assisi parish; founded in 1908 in the multiethnic neighborhood of Lovejoy to serve the Italian-American community there, which arrived slightly later than the Germans and Irish who attended St. Agnes and Visitation, respectively, but who came to dominate the neighborhood demographically 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.
