November is Native American Heritage Month!
The Diocese of Buffalo shocked the community when they announced the closure & merge of several local churches. Preservation Buffalo Niagara has created a Save Our Sacred Sites Initiative because of the Diocese’s threat to our local churches, aiming to achieve Local Landmark status to protect the churches in jeopardy of closure. CBCA supports the mission of PBN and applauds their dedication to tackle Buffalo's never-ending preservation battle. Click on the image to learn more and donate today.
