Volunteers Needed for Children’s Liturgy

Looking to share God’s Word with our youngest parishioners? We are excited to expand our Children’s Liturgy of the Word program this fall, but we need your help to make it happen!

We currently have volunteers to offer Children’s Liturgy twice a month at Holy Spirit, and we are also looking to bring this ministry to Assumption as well.

• Role: Share simplified scripture readings, lead brief discussions, and guide activities tailored for children during Mass.
• Requirement: All volunteers must be VIRTUS trained (or willing to complete the training) to ensure a safe environment for our kids.
• Commitment: Flexible schedules available! Whether you can help once a month or more, your time makes a huge difference.

If you have a heart for teaching, love working with children, and want to support our parish families, we would love to have you on the team. Interested in joining call CCBN’s main office at 716-875-8102.

Labor Day Blessing
Dear God, We thank You for this Labor Day. Bless the men and women who serve in our workforce, and grant them strength and protection in their work. Bless, too, those who courageously seek to build fairer and more just working environments for all our brothers and sisters. Bless all of us as we gather to rest and recreate during this holiday weekend. Amen.

“I will build my Church and the gates of the netherworld will not prevail against it.” Jesus promises in Mt 16:18 that His Church will always exist. But we also want it to thrive, and that requires people to step forth into roles of ministry. Could it be you?
