Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese
Day 32: Diocese of Buffalo
Formed in 1847, the diocese originally covered the western third of New York. But before the century was out, the new Diocese of Rochester would claim several of the counties that made up the eastern part of the Buffalo diocese, which to me is an early warning for Buffalo's decline in the 20th century.
Unlike most diocesan websites, it's difficult to find a history of the Buffalo see on their website. The one thing that is prominently displayed is a link to the website championing the sainthood of Father Nelson Baker, whose charitable work in the Buffalo area was impressive. No word on any miracles, though.
