We can't do this alone.
Please support our Parish during this difficult time. |
Mass Reservations
While we are no longer limited to a certain number of people in the Church (praise God!) we will still be adhering to diocesan guidelines of wearing masks at all liturgies and maintaining six feet of social distancing between households.
Due to the size of our church, the best way we can maximize our space is for people to call in and make reservations.
Except for the Christmas Suite of Masses (information above), reservations can be made Tuesday-Thursday during business hours by calling (716)683-6522. We kindly ask that you respect this request and make every effort to reserve space during these times. Thanks so much for "going through the hoops" so that we can ensure the health and safety of all who come to pray with us.

DEVOTION OF THE MONTH - JANUARY
The month of January is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus. After the Blessed Virgin Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit, the angel Gabriel appeared to St. Joseph and told him that the Child’s name should be called Jesus, meaning “God Saves.” According to Jewish law, on the 8th day after his birth a male child was to be circumcised, receive his name, and become a full member of God’s covenant people. According to the old Roman liturgical calendar, the Feast of the Circumcision of Jesus was celebrated on January 1st, eight days after Christmas, the same day that He was given His sacred name. Currently we celebrate the Solemnity of the Mother of God on January 1st and honor the Holy Name of Jesus on January 3rd. For Catholics, Jesus’ sacred name is the object of a special devotion symbolized by the monogram “IHS,” (sometimes called a Christogram), which is the first three letters of the Greek spelling of His name. |
