Have you heard about the return of Saturday Evening Mass to SJK?
From Fr Cole and published recently in our weekly bulletin:
When I arrived as Pastor of the Greater East Buffalo Family of Parishes, I promised that I will do all I can to collaborate with parishioners so that our parishes not only survive but thrive. As many of you know, St. John Kanty and St. Adalbert is the only parish in our family with two worship sites. These two cathedral size buildings are currently being sustained with one Sunday Mass and 4 Masses per year at St. Adalbert. As we continue through my first fiscal year (Sept-Aug), the $863.00 average weekly collection to sustain these two worship sites is becoming a concern. I have come to learn that, despite the outcry from the parishioners, previous pastoral leadership had eliminated their Saturday Vigil Mass resuling in a $30,000 annual loss. After consultation with the Pastoral Council, the Office of Renewal, Bishop Fisher, and the Liturgy Pillar, the parish will be reinstating a Saturday Vigil on August 3 at 5:30 p.m. This is a one-year trial to see if the addition of the vigil mass will help the financial trend of the parish. At this time, the rest of the parishes within the family are in relatively good financial health with their fundraising efforts supporting their budgets. While the Road to Renewal is about coming together to lean on each others strengths, the individuality of each parish, their history, ministries particular to them, and financial condition must be respected. By selling their Lyceum building, and now with their convent building on the market, the community of St. John Kanty and St. Adalbert have been working tirelessly to right size their campus facilities and cut expenses. Welcoming back this Saturday Mass will hopefully help with their budget shortfalls and bring those that left back to experience our dynamic family!
Bishop Michael Fisher will be our first celebrant for Saturday Mass on August 3 at 5:30…please attend if you can!
Should you wish to reserve a Mass intention: just phone the parish office (716-893-0412 weekdays between 8:30-10:30).
Pick up a copy of the AmPol Eagle in our vestibule for $1.00!
