Food Pantries

All churches in our Family of Parishes participate with a food pantry.
St. John's donates all non-perishable food items to Bread of Life Outreach in Colden and
St. Mary's donates to Eden / North Collins Food Pantry.
Please remember those in need.

Envelopes for Collection

Since we are now merged with St. Peter & Paul's, you are encouraged to register with them.

If you decide to register at St. Peter & Paul's (which is totally your choice) this is how it will help St. John's and St. Mary's:
1. Your current envelope # will be used to designate your weekly contribution as St. Mary's or St. John's $$
2. This money will be used to pay the bills of St. John's
& St. Mary's
3. The number of registered people sitting in the pews will increase our "count" per Mass.
IF PEOPLE STOP COMING TO MASS AND STOP CONTRIBUTING EACH WEEK TO PAY OUR BILLS
**THEN WE WILL BE IN TROUBLE**
Road to Renewal
The Catholic Faithful, priests, deacons, religious, parish administrators and school leaders of the Diocese of Buffalo have embarked on a journey to reinvigorate Catholic faith, more fully optimize parish and diocesan resources, and increase the impact of our varied ministries throughout WNY.
In order to address a projected, serious shortage of priests in 2030 (99 priests to staff 160 parishes), parishes are being grouped into families that will share resources and priests.
Our parish was originally scheduled to implement the change beginning in October, 2024. The timeline has been updated and we are now scheduled to begin the process on the first of next month: October, 2022. Please select the image to the right for more information.
