the way before entering the Catholic Faith. The process
includes instruction, prayer, Scripture, sharing and
discernment. If you or someone you know would be
interested, please contact the parish office at 625-8594. Brian
Haseltine, a parishioner and director of the parish RCIA, will

A Word From the Pastor

Catholic Trivia Question: According to Jesus Christ,
what is the foundation of the Church?
Saint Quote of the Week: “But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus
Christ; they said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” It is these
who set up divisions, wordly people, devoid of the Spirit.
But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy
faith; pray in the Holy Spirit.”
My maternal Grandmother used to say “Only three things
in life are a sure thing: God, taxes and death.” I should add
a fourth sure thing...building repairs!
I thought I would give you a brief list of what the parish
council and I have been looking at in regards to needed
repair work:
VOCATION You shall love your neighbor as yourself. It’s a big world, in need of lots of neighborly
people. Extend your hand today, tomorrow, for the
rest of your life. If God is calling you to a Church vocation, call Father Walter Szczesny at 847-5535. Visit
www.buffalovocations.org! and read our “Priest of
the Month” Stories.
1. Pendleton rectory furnace needs to be replaced. It
is the original furnace for the house. The rectory
was built in 1978.
2. Plumbing work needs to be accomplished in the
Pendleton parish hall building; kitchen, bar room,
bathrooms, office and at the St. Augustine Campus;
bathrooms. Most of the plumbing is the original to
these buildings (1962-65).

PARISH BUILDING CAMPAIGN
Wednesday, November 12th: A prayer service and candle
lit procession to the cemetery will take place after the
7:00pm Mass at the Pendleton worship site in honor of our
beloved dead.
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.
LOSS OF A CHILD A Mass for the loss of a child will be
celebrated on Wednesday, October 29th at 7pm at St.
Stephen Parish, 2100 Baseline Rd. Grand Island. Confessions will be offered before Mass beginning at 6pm and
again after Mass. The Rosary will be prayed at 6:30pm in
the Daily Chapel. Refreshments will be served after Mass
in the Hospitality Room All are welcome. For more information, call St. Stephen Parish at 773-7647.
We still need $21,236 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!
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
