Canisius College representatives joined colleagues and friends in the WNY community to support the Go Red For Women Luncheon on February 7.
United by the passion to end heart disease and stroke in women, tens of thousands of women gather for Go Red for Women luncheons across the country each year. Each luncheon is a unique event led by local leaders to meet the needs of our community. Featuring inspiration, education and community among women, the Go Red for Women luncheon is a powerful and moving experience! Thank you to our attendees for supporting this worthwhile event!

The Permanent Chair of Polish Culture at Canisius, the Chopin Singing Society and Polish Arts Club of Buffalo present Chopin & Copernicus: The Art of the Heavens on Sunday, February 26 at 2:30 p.m. at the Montante Cultural Center. The free and open to the public event celebrates the 550th birthday of the Father of Modern Astronomy, Nicolaus Copernicus. A reception follows the program.
Chopin & Copernicus: The Art of the Heavens is a multimedia program of music, images and memorabilia. The program features the Chopin Singing Society in a short program of Renaissance music and a premiere of Jerzy Kolaczkowski’s De Revolutionibus, in an arrangement by Dr. Thomas Witakowski of the Buffalo State College Music Department.

The piece features a narration related to Copernicus, which will be rendered by radio personality Andrew Golebiowski. The program continues with pianists, Maria Chomicka and Melanie Bebak in music of Chopin with a display of images from the Webb and Hubble telescopes, as well as images and quotes of Copernicus, by Paul Krupinski of the Strasenburgh Planetarium in Rochester.

Campus Ministry is inviting faculty and staff members to participate in the Kairos Retreat this semester. The Kairos Retreat is taking place March 24-26 beginning late-afternoon Friday until mid-afternoon Sunday.
The individual would need to commit to being present for the duration of the 2 night, overnight experience at Cradle Beach Retreat Center, present a retreat talk from assigned topics, and fully participate in a small group with students during the course of the weekend.
No prior retreat experience is necessary. We are looking for faculty and staff who are willing to be vulnerable and share deeply, personally, and appropriately with students as well as receive and listen to the sharing of others and provide a supportive presence during the course of the weekend.
If you are interested or have questions, please contact Spencer Liechty at liechtys@canisius.edu with the following information:
- Name, role at the college
- Kairos experience: if you have attended or led before, if so what year?
Even if you are not able to personally participate, we would appreciate you encouraging students to sign up to attend the retreat. Students can sign up using the link here.
Thank you for your support of this meaningful Canisius College tradition!
