During the Autumn of 1932, with 225 families registered, contracts were signed with the architect and contractors. Joseph E. Fronczak, the noted architect, designed the church in the Russian-Byzantine style with the capacity of 400 at an estimated cost of $45,000.00. The cost of $45,000.00 included 4 and 1/2 tons of copper to lay gutters, Spanish tile roofing and three towers (turrets) and a 30-foot copper tower for the central dome extending the height of the church to 100 feet. The cornerstone was laid for the new church. Men of the parish who were unemployed because of the Depression were hired by the construction company as laborers. By October of 1933 the church was completed. The consecration of the new edifice took place on October 8, 1933 with thousands in attendance. Many of people in attendance traveled great distances to participate in this milestone and represented many different ethnic Orthodox Christians. The Lords Prayer was especially arranged for the choir by Nicholas Kedroff, director of the famous Kedroff Quartet. One of the factors that contributed to the parish growth was Father Erast Wolkodoffs effort in sponsoring refugees to the United States. Refugees contributed greatly to the cultural, financial, educational and spiritual life of the Buffalo Parish. Most of these refugees came from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Since the passing of Father Wolkodoff, several clergy were assigned to the parish, but the longest stay was 8 years (by Father Steven Janos). Every priest who served at Saints Peter and Paul did their very best to serve the people and every one contributed to what our parish is today. In August of 2011, His Grace, The Right Reverend MICHAEL, bishop of New York and the Diocese of New York and New Jersey initiated the Operation Buffalo, a project aimed at renovating the parish rectory for a new full-time priest. The project galvanized the enthusiasm of the parishioners who are now looking towards the great future of Saints Peter and Paul parish.
