He stayed at St. Casimir's Rectory and performed Mass at the church in 1976 when he was still a Cardinal. He also visited earlier, in 1969, and stayed at the St. Stanislaus Rectory. Buffalo and Krakow maintained close ties at the time due to its large Polish immigrant population (one of my grandfathers was from Krakow).
