The Latin definition of Corpus Christi means “Body of Christ.” The Polish definition of Corpus Christi is “Dozynki.” Okay, not really, but this weekend it may as well be. The once doomed landmark church on the east side in the shadow of the Broadway Market will transform the intersection of Clark and Kent Streets (known as Superman corner) into a rural Polish medieval village, when they present the 27th Annual Polish Harvest festival known as Dozynki. Festivities begin Saturday at 11:30am with what else but a Mass, complete with guest choirs and visiting dignitaries (this is a church, after all). And if divine intervention isn’t enough to make your weekend worthwhile, how about a farmers market to take home some locally grown produce? Or Polish arts and crafts demonstrations and workshops, the Buffalo Zoomobile, Polish food, Polish beers, a Sunday chicken BBQ and enough live Polka music and Polka dancing that NASA has even debated sending astronauts to prepare for the centrifugal force of a Space Shuttle liftoff. Tours of the historic church (where Johnny “Goo” Rzeznik once served as an altar boy) will be available on Sunday, and Polish virtuoso Igor Lipinski will conduct a performance on the church’s newly installed concert grand piano that afternoon. There’s even open bowling at the adjacent Parish Athletic Center —plenty to do for kids of all ages.

11:30am-9pm Saturday, & 11:30am-4pm Sunday. Corpus Christi Church (199 Clark St., 896-1050)www.corpuschristonline.org
