Autumn Greetings from Fr. Ross

How quickly the time is passing. We are almost at the end of October. As many of you know, along with all the parishes of the Diocese of Buffalo, we are about to enter into the Activation Phase of the Road to Renewal. This will have a profound impact on our Faith Community. As things unfold, we will try to keep everyone informed in a timely fashion. May we all continue to remember that our God, who is our loving Father, truly cares for us and wants to be a part of our lives as we begin this next chapter in the life of our parish. Let us continue to pray for our brothers and sisters throughout the world who are not blessed as we are. We pray for them and help them out as we are able.

We continue to celebrate our daily Masses (8:00 AM) and our weekend Masses in person and online, Saturday at 4:00 PM and Sunday at 8:30 AM, 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM. The Masses are also saved if you would like to view Mass a little later on in the day.
