     From Fr. Ross: Happy Advent!

He is Always With Us!

From Fr. Timothy Koester’s weekly Pastor’s bulletin announcement: Monday, December 2nd, the Family Hub Office will be open for business. [ALL OTHER PARISH OFFICES WILL CLOSE AT THIS TIME.] This centralized office will be the contact and location of the family staff. The office address is 22 Prospect St. Angola, NY 14006, the former Convent Building with parking on either side. The phone number for our Family is 716-780-7020. Parish business will go through the Family Office as we consolidate our spaces and staff.

This is a tough one for us. Once the formal closure / merger date has been decreed by the Diocese, our parishioners will have an opportunity to petition the Bishop and the Diocese to reverse the reversal of the original recommendation that was to keep St. Francis open and have St. Mary of the Lake merge with St. Francis. There will also be the possibility of seeking recourse from Rome. More information about this will follow. In the meantime, please keep coming to Mass and supporting our Faith Community.

The Faith Community of St. Francis will live on in and through all of us, individually and together. You are always in my thoughts and prayers as we walk together during this difficult and challenging time. Call on me at any time.

When we have Mass here at St. Francis, with me or another priest, we will continue to try to Live Stream the Masses. Please be patient. Our Mass here at 8:00 will be celebrated on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Our weekend Masses will be celebrated on Saturday at 4:00 PM and Sunday at 8:30 AM and 6:00 PM. The Masses are also saved if you would like to view Mass a little later on in the day. At the appropriate time click on “Live Stream Mass” below and then click on the “▹”  which is found in the center of the screen.
