Mission Statement

We are a Parish belonging to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo. We are under the authority of the Most Rev. Edward U. Kmiec, Bishop of Buffalo, and His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI. Our purpose is to preach and hear the Word of God as it is contained in the Holy Scriptures and Sacred Tradition of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Faith and its practice is handed on to our children by Religious Instruction (Catechesis) and formation in the ways of the Faith. We prepare our members to receive God’s Divine Life through the Holy Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, and Holy Matrimony. We are to lead to God those seeking Him and help those who do not know or Love Him to find Him (Evangelization). We gladly use the power and authority Christ has given to the Catholic Church to make people holy by the Administration of Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick and Holy Matrimony. We also work toward helping those in need. The deepening of bonds of friendship and fellowship are built through parish groups and social events that strengthen and promote our friendship and union in Christ.
