FROM OUR SCHOOL

It has been an exciting month since school ended and everyone is working hard to prepare for the upcoming school year. I want to thank you for your support of our school and ask for a special request for some of ourfamilies. I know how generous the members of St. Christopher Parish are, and how willing you are to helpwhen there is a need in our community. Now the need is right here. Some of our families are facing financialdifficulties due to illness and are struggling to keep their children at St. Christopher. The current need isgreater than what we have to offer from our financial aid fund. I would ask that you prayerfully consider making a donation to the school in support of these families or consider sponsoring a child by covering the cost of their tuition. Please contact me at (716) 693-5604 or email me at dcronyn@saintchris.org if you would like to help.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support. Have a blessed and safe rest of the summer.

We are also planning events to bring awareness to the event including Vicariate movie nights and a send off Mass for pilgrims. Information on official diocesan events leading up to, during, and following the Lisbon gathering can be found on our website https://www.buffalodiocese.org/who-weserve/youth/world-youth-day/ Please pray for the success of World Youth Day both here and internationally.

It is with gratitude and anticipation that I relate to you that the Diocese of Buffalo Synod team has finished Phase I of our project with the completion of listening sessions and submission of our report to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. A special thank you to Carrie Frank and Deacon Don Weigel for their thoughtful, comprehensive, and diligent work to summarize the feedback from 35 listening sessions held over seven weeks that involved 650 laity and 130 priests, deacons and women religious.

Phase two of the local Synod effort will involve listening sessions in our families of parishes that will begin soon and discuss results from the Catholic Leadership Institute’s Disciple Makers Index Survey.

The report, and related documents, is available at buffalodiocese.org/synod. MORE...
