This past March 17, our Grade 4 Faith Formation Class hosted the 10:30 a.m. Sunday Mass. All the children did a wonderful job as readers, greeters and gift bearers. We would like to thank their catechist, Mr. Lopez, for the great job he did in preparing his students. In Mr. Lopez’s class for the past few weeks, the students have been learning about the different types of prayers and different reasons to pray. The students also have been learning how bullying is wrong and how God wants us to respect our neighbor no matter what our differences are.

The Sacraments are for every child, even those with special needs. The Diocese of Buffalo’s Department of Lifelong Faith Formation has a resource person with experience available to assist our parish in developing a plan to meet the individual needs of a child with disabilities. If someone in your family is in need of these services, please contact Dianne Wysocki in the Religious Education Office.
