Cleaning Our Parishes - Monthly
At St. John the Baptist Parish and St. Mary's Oratory, we depend on volunteers to help us keep our churches beautiful and clean. When a group gets together, it is much easier, quicker and enjoyable. Please consider helping out when you are available.
St. Mary's - Mon. Nov. 6 @ 9 am
St. John's - Thurs. Sept. 21 @ 9:30 am
Growing in Faith
The original Greek word in the Scriptures is metanoia, and although it’s translated as “repent,” there’s something lost in translation. The word has a much deeper meaning than simply turning away from sin; it has the sense of going out of oneself, transcending the self, changing direction, continually turning away from sin, and undergoing a lifelong process of conversion.
Join us in the Nativity School each Wednesday, beginning on September 13th at 6:30 PM, for an hour and a half of prayer, video, small group discussion, and reflection on Metanoia.
There are 11 consecutive weeks of presentations. Come as often as you can.
There is no fee to attend.
C.J. Wild is a seminarian for the Diocese of Buffalo, who is spending his pastoral year with Family #28 and living at Nativity Parish in Orchard Park. He will be facilitating this program.
All are welcome!

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.
