We're sorry to announce that our Sunday Mass at 10:30 am tomorrow, January 14th, is cancelled. We feel this is necessary for your safety and the safety of our priests who must travel to us, and to comply with local travel bans.

The Mass schedules of all parishes in our Family have changed, effective October 1, 2023. The full schedule can be downloaded for your reference. Click here to download the PDF file. The website calendar has been adjusted to reflect these changes for St. George Parish.

The latest we know about our Road to Renewal progress.

Bishop Michael Fisher has issued this Letter to the Faithful in response to recent news articles in the Buffalo News regarding the Diocesan Bankruptcy proceedings and Child Victim Act claims.

This week's session will focus on "I believe in the forgiveness of sins." Join us in the parish hall following the 10 am Mass.

The Memorare Chapel bell will toll 13 times today from 2:29 - 2:31 p.m., honoring the 10 deceased and 3 surviving victims. You are invited to join us for this important time of remembrance.

Fr. Jim and Sr. Lori have decided to cancel the Monday Jan. 17th 8 am Mass and the 9 am Scripture Sharing gathering at St. George, in anticipation of posssibly treacherous road conditions on Monday. Please stay home, safe and warm. As you already know, the parish office is closed Monday, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We now have a confirmed case of COVID in the parish office staff, so the office will be closed to visitors for the remainder of next week, Jan 18-21. We will be reachable by phone or email, however.  Thank you for your prayers and patience!

“HERE I AM, LORD!  IT IS I LORD!” Renewing the Diocese of Buffalo requires skilled leaders to move the Renewal Initiative forward. Now is the time for parishioners who have the needed skills and talents to demonstrate their discipleship by offering their time and talents.
