Parish Life

Our parish is filled with “spirit and heart”. We are dedicated to our parish life with ministries encompassing the men’s group, young adults, social activities, fund raising, prayer chain, parish directory, and the welcoming ministry.

Social Activities

Upon the request of the parish council, members of this ministry work together and plan social activities for our community.  The annual parish chicken barbecue, pancake breakfast, and appreciation celebrations are examples of the social events that our parishioners enjoy. Please consider participating in this important community building ministry by sharing new ideas for activities and your gift of time.

Rosary and Altar Society

The main focus of the Society is to honor our Blessed Mother through prayer and service. The ministry meets monthly from April through November on the third Tuesday at 11:00 am to pray the Rosary and a Litany.  Click here to read more.

If you are interested in finding out more, you are welcome to come to a meeting or contact Donna LaValley at (716) 652-3759 or email: donna_lavalley@hotmail.com. 

Prayer Chain

The prayer chain is a network of parishioners who receive and share prayer requests and include the particular person or special intention in daily prayer.  The minister records the name or special intention in a prayer journal, contacts members of the prayer chain by email or phone tree, and prays!  The time commitment for this ministry is your daily prayer time.  New prayers are welcome to participate either in the phone tree or by e-mail.  If you are interested, contact Kathy Kita at (716) 649-0021 or email kckita2@gmail.com.

Welcoming Ministry

This ministry extends a warm welcome to new parishioners, shares information about parish ministries, encourages participation and coordinates hospitality events to greet new parishioners. Volunteers are needed to develop this new ministry for our community.  If you enjoy meeting new people and sharing the “good news” about our parish, please share your gifts of hospitality and time.  If you are interested in this ministry, contact Kathy Kita at (716) 652-3153 or email kckita2@gmail.com
