Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The bilingual cornerstone of the former Our Lady of Lourdes Church on Main Street in Buffalo, New York, as seen on a June 2021 evening. Our Lady of Lourdes traces its history to the 1832 founding of Lamb of God, Buffalo's first-ever Roman Catholic congregation. French-Americans made up a sizable portion of Buffalo's population in the very earliest days of its history - a prominent founding citizen (and Lamb of God's founder) was Louis LeCouteulx de Caumont, a prominent banker and nobleman who settled in the city after fleeing the Revolution - but the massive waves of German, Irish, and later Polish immigrants were the communities that came to demographic dominance over the second half of the 19th century. Our Lady of Lourdes, the home church of Buffalo's Franco-American community after the breakup along ethnic lines of Lamb of God's congregation, was accordingly never a flock of impressive size. The parish was dissolved in 1993 as part of a reorganization of inner-city Catholic congregations, and at the time the photo was taken was undergoing redevelopment as apartments. |
