December of 1931, Fr. Justin was determined to create a “network of the
airwaves”, which he named the 'Rosary Hour' ... The programs were
broadcast from Corpus Christi Church in Buffalo, radio stations, parish halls, and eventually from the chapel of St. Francis High School
... An estimated 15,000 people paid their respects to him at
Corpus Christi Church . On Tuesday, October 27, after a solemn
Mass, Fr. Justin was interred in St. Stanislaus Cemetery."
- Fr. Justin Figas, OFM Conv.
