Make Time for Christ: A Rosary Renewal October 6-9.

Make Time for Christ: a time of listening to God’s word, remembering what Christ has done, and re-energizing our true selves!

As Christians we are disciples of Jesus and apostles of the gospel, yet our daily lives are so full that we sometimes forget ‘who we are and whose we are’. Make Time for Christ will take place October 6-9. Fr George Knab, O.M.I. will present the Mission.

Please make plans to be with us at 6 p.m. October 6-9, and…family and friends are welcome!


October 13 is Second Sunday, Celebrate Mass with us at Saint John Kanty!
From the Broadway-Fillmore Alive website (https://broadwayfillmorealive.org/2.0/2019/09/this-coming-sunday-is-second-sunday-come-to-church-in-east-buffalo/):

Want an easy way to help out a church in the neighborhood? Good. What you need to do is get in the habit of coming to church in East Buffalo’s Historic Polonia at least once a month. Broadway Fillmore Alive put the Second Sunday idea together a few of years ago. It is a simple easy way to help support a church.
