Wedding Anniversary Celebration - Any couple celebrating their 50th or 60th Wedding Anniversary this year are invited to attend the Diocesan Celebration on Sunday, October 14. Please contact your rectory as soon as possible if you wish to attend or call the Family Life Department at 847-2211. Persons with Disabilities - The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo has a Ministry For Persons with Disabilities, with a parish advocate program extending to all parishes. The purpose of this ministry is to insure that all can experience parish life, spirituality and socially and be able to participate in liturgy, sacraments, religious education and social functions. Disability is a narrow concept which may be more appropriately recognized as differently abled.
Many parishes already have a parish advocate available.
Invitation is extended to curious and interested men, women and children of all ages to learn more about Religious Orders and the Diocesan Priesthood, as well as about opportunities to visit convents and places of formation throughout the Diocese. Call the Diocesan Vocation Office at 847-5535. The Diocesan Bereavement Hotline is available for anyone who has experienced the death of a loved one. By calling 332-0202 you will receive Bishop Mansell's message, information about Bereavement and someone to talk with about your loss, if requested. Crossroads extends an invitation to share in a unique ministry which responds to the hopes and needs of single adults age 40 and over.
