We are happy that The Gold Star Mothers, a private nonprofit organization of American mothers who have lost sons or daughters in combat in the United States Armed Forces, will be celebrating Mass at St John Kanty next Saturday at 4 p.m. Fr Jim Bastian, a former Air Force Chaplain, will be the celebrant (you can follow this link for more information on Fr Bastian, who was named ‘Priest of the Month’ in March 2016: http://www.buffalovocations.org//index.php?cID=152). The families who have lost a son or daughter in the service of our country deserve our deepest caring and appreciation for their sacrifice. The playing of taps and a 21-gun salute will conclude the Mass, which is sponsored by the area American Legion.

All, but especially veterans and their families, are encouraged to celebrate Mass with The Gold Star Mothers.
