Why Should I Register at St. Peter & Paul's???
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**

Cleaning Our Parishes - Monthly
At St. John the Baptist Parish and St. Mary's, 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.

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.
