humbly beg you, to whom God has given such great power, to come to

A Catechist’s Prayer Loving Father, pour forth your Holy Spirit upon me that I

may be a good catechist of your Word, your Son, Jesus Christ. Render my mind and heart so open, receptive and

responsive to your Holy Spirit that, like Mary, I might become a living instrument of your Word to others. Help

me to be a faithful witness to Gospel life so that your Church may become ever more alive. Let the fire of your love so enkindle my heart that I may be an instrument of

drawing others to love of you in the Church of your Son. I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. (USCCB)

support, sharing, and being a true witness of your faith with our Young Church. God’s Blessings to you all. You will be missed!

Supernatural Love in Marriage

D o you love someone who isn't loving you back? Have you experienced God's supernatural love helping you

love those who are difficult to love? For those of us who are married, we expect to be loved by our spouses as much as we need to be loved. And we assume that it's always going to be mutual: We will always be loved by our spouse with the same passion as we love them. However, most marriages enter difficulties that require supernatural love as well as supernatural persistence. That's why we need the Sacrament of Matrimony instead of just a civil ceremony at the courthouse or beach. Marriages need divine grace to endure with the permanence that God provides. In this Sunday's Gospel reading, Jesus explains that the law of Moses permitted divorce (Deut. 24:1) because of the hardness of people's hearts. This is not an approval of divorce. He wants us to have hearts like his own, which never stops loving anyone. In the days of Moses, when a marriage became difficult or unsatisfying, many men abandoned their wives. Although marriage was, from the beginning (Genesis Chapter 1) supposed to be a permanent covenant that united one man with one woman, a bill of divorce would allow an abandoned or rejected woman to remarry for her protection. It was never intended to be an approval of divorce. Marriage is a reflection of God's faithful union with us. Permanence in marriage is a divine gift from God so that we can reflect him well. If we don't believe in the permanence of love within marriage, how can we believe that God is always in love with us -- including when we don't deserve it? And how can the children and others who watch us believe? God never forces us to stay "married" to him. He loves us even when we turn away from him. Likewise, an unloved spouse is called by God to continue loving the one who abandons the marriage, even if only from afar. This is also true in any God-ordained friendships, and between priests and the laity they serve, and parents with their children.

Options Care Center is in constant need of the following supplies: Legal envelopes, Bona floor cleaner, Kleenex, cases of water, stamps, snacks for clients (i.e. granola bars, chips, etc), printer paper, Enfamil Pro formula, diaper cream, post-it notes, disposal masks.

Parish Thanksgiving Dinner - It has been a tradition to have a parish Thanksgiving dinner prior to Thanksgiving. Due to the pandemic last year, the dinner was cancelled. We are now considering having another one this year but we want YOUR input. If the parish had a Thanksgiving dinner, would you plan on attending? You can either call the parish office @ 716-386-2400 and let us know if you would attend or fill out the form below and drop in any collection basket. The dinner is tentatively planed for November 14th or the 21st. Your input is greatly appreciated. We would hate to go through all the hard work of shopping, cooking, baking, and getting volunteers lined up if only a few people were to attend.

O Holy St. Jude! Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kingsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor for all who invoke you, special patron in

time of need; to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart, and

humbly beg you, to whom God has given such great power, to come to

my assistance. I will never forget thy graces and favours you obtained for

me and I will do my utmost to spread devotion to you. Thank you

St. Jude for the hope you offer to all who believe in you.

God made them male and female.

For this reason a man shall leave his father

and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
