On Sunday August 31, 2025 our Trustee, Rodney Richardson informed our congregation about plans for replacing the carpeting in the church. It has been over 10 years since it has been replaced. In order to replace it , donations are needed from each of us. It will take all of us to make this happen. The goal is $7,000 and as of last Saturday, $3,500 has been collected. Your donation is needed.

On memo line put: CARPET DONATION.

Your donation should be given to Rodney Richardson or Lanette Jennings.

Your donation is tax deductible.

National Catholic Youth Conference

Deadline extended! Pope Leo plans to be there via social media! A group from Buffalo area parishes is taking a bus to the National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis Nov. 20-22 (they return on the 23rd.) This year’s NCYC will be on November 20-23, in Indianapolis, IN. NCYC gathers high school-aged youth for a transformative encounter with Christ. Through dynamic keynote speakers, vibrant liturgies, engaging workshops, and meaningful prayer experiences, young people will deepen their faith, grow in discipleship, and have a lot of fun making new friends and sharing fellowship with peers from across the country. The 2025 theme, I Am Yo Soy, will reflect on the time God appeared to Moses through the burning bush and explore how the sacraments are the living story of God’s love, uniting us with Him through Jesus and the Church. Through the sacraments, we encounter the fullness of salvation and the tangible presence of Immanuel—God with us. The package cost is $825 per person. Full payment is due on Wed., Oct. 29th and a $100 deposit is needed by September 26 to secure your spot. Learn more: www.ncyc.us If you'd like more information about NCYC or know that you’d like to go, please contact Pat Dyer at patricia-dyernp@gmail.com to get in touch with the group coordinator.
