St. John Kanty Church (Buffalo, NY) circa 1986

I am so sorry that I have been quiet the past few months- my father had knee replacement surgery and between him and the kids, life has gotten busy busy busy.
I finally have a chance to breathe (and find my living room floor!) so I’m slowly going through old slides. Today’s quick blog post has me finding old slides from St. John Kanty Church in Buffalo, NY. They were taken by my later mother and the banners were also made by her.
St. John Kanty is also the parish my great grandfather Antoni ended up after he emigrated from that shit-hole part of Germany that was really Poland. I actually need to get over there so I can do some more genealogy research. (Genealogy has become another rabbit hole I’ve gotten sucked into)

Don’t forget that if you can help with a donation to replace the recently damaged Mary statue you can find more information at the St. John Kanty website.

One thing that has remained consistent in my family is Scouting. It started with my Great Grandfather Charles who was heavily involved with Scouting at both St. Ann’s Church in Buffalo, NY & at St. Matthew’s Church (also in Buffalo). My grandmother was not a scout herself but later was a Camp Fire Girls leader (so yes my mom was a Campfire Girl). I myself was a Gold Award Girl Scout & there are a few Eagle Scout cousins. My son is continuing the family tradition as a Cub Scout & my daughter will eventually be a Girl Scout.
