English: Resurrection Roman Catholic Church, 130 Como Park Boulevard at Union Road, Cheektowaga, New York, July 2020. During World War II, factories producing materials for the war effort began to spring up around the Buffalo Municipal Airport and along the railroad lines in what was heretofore the rural town of Cheektowaga, and Resurrection parish was founded in 1944 to serve the families of the workers (and in anticipation of the inevitable encroachment of suburbia that had already begun in the years before the war in the western part of the town, closest to the city line). The present-day church building, a Modernist structure with an unmistakable New Formalist influence that manifests itself on the arcaded façade, was dedicated in December 1969.
