discernment. If you or someone you know would be
interested, please contact the parish office at 625-8594. Brian

A Word From the Bishop
Religious Education News
Dear Diocesan Family,
Schedule: 9:45am Sunday October 26th is our next Religious Ed. Class
I write you with exciting news. In December 2014, the Diocese of Buffalo will launch the Catholics Come Home campaign. In the first six years, Catholics come Home messages were aired as TV commercials in 37 dioceses, and
nationally, reaching 200 million viewers and helping lead
hundreds of thousands home to the Catholic Church. I invite you to visit www.CatholicsComeHome.Org to see for
yourself.
Catholic Trivia Question: Who is the patron saint
against bodily ills, headaches and sickness?
Saint Quote of the Week: Let nothing trouble you, let
nothing make you afraid. All things pass away. God never
changes. Patience obtains everything. God alone is enough.
St. Teresa of Avila, Feast Day, October 15th
SCHEDULE CHANGE: Please take note:
The invitational messages of “evangomercials” from
Catholics Come Home will be shown on network and cable
TV stations, throughout Western New York this Christmas
Season. The messages that people see on TV may bring
them to our doors, but only we can welcome them in a
spirit of enthusiasm and generosity.
40 DAYS FOR LIFE A Buffalo-Mid Point Rally will be
held on Saturday, October 18th at 7pm at the Buffalo
Woman Services. 2500 Main Street, Buffalo. For more information, contact the Pro-Life Office at 847-2205.
Many of us know of family and friends who have drifted
away from the Church. The great majority of those who
leave do not leave because of a disagreement over church
teaching. The initial separation is most often caused simply
by the busyness of life. And many do want to return, but
feel embarrassed, and wonder if they were really ever
missed. In fact, the reason most often reported by those
who choose to return is simply, “I was asked”. Who might
do you know that has simply drifted away? Who might be
waiting to hear that invitation from you?
SIDEWALK ADVOCATES A training for Sidewalk Advocates will be held on Wednesday, October 22nd from
9:30am to 3:30pm at the Catholic Center, 795 Main St.
Buffalo. For those who have registered, please confirm that
you are attending and for those who have not registered,
please do so ASAP by calling the Pro-Life Office 8472205.

equipped to welcome Catholics who come home. Dennis
Mahaney, Director in the Office for Evangelization and
Parish Life, will organize our preparations. And these

Alff OSF, entitled “When They Come Back, What Makes
Them Stay”, which will be held on October 24-25 at Christ
the King Seminary.

PARISH BUILDING CAMPAIGN
After reviewing all the bids for our roofing project at the
Pendleton Site, our Parish Council, Finance Committee
and Trustees have recommended that we award the project
to Wm. Rott and Son. We have used them in the past on
other projects at the parish, and they do quality work.
Please pray with me for the success of our efforts. Look for
more opportunities in the weeks ahead to grow in faith, as
we share our faith, through Catholics Come Home.
Yours sincerely in Christ,
Most Reverend Richard Malone
Bishop of Buffalo
We still need $26,468 to meet our project goal of
$81,855. Work on the roof has begun. If you have not
donated to this project yet, please consider a gift now! I
am very grateful to all who have already contributed to
this building campaign. God will generously bless you!
*Please note, our Parish has had a video of the Come Home
A heads up for next year. One of our major parish projects
under consideration for next year is the rectory roof at the
St. Augustine Campus. If the project is approved by the
Parish Council, Finance committee and Trustees, we will
conduct another building campaign. This project is expected to be considerably less than our current project.
Good stewardship calls us to maintain our buildings and
