We mourn the loss of Fr. Pat’s mom and ask that you keep Fr. Pat and his family in prayer during this difficult time.

It has been so nice to see all of our Newman friends at 10:00 a.m. Mass at Assumption. Everyone there has been so kind and welcoming. The Community Council wanted to share a few things concerning our transition to Assumption:

Checks and Correspondence by Mail:
Austin's office is being relocated to the rectory at Assumption. While checks will continue to be made out to the Newman Center without change, the mailing address is now as follows:

Buffalo State Newman Center at Assumption
435 Amherst Street
Buffalo, NY 14207

For those who have payments sent by their financial institution through the mail, please be sure to update the mailing address with the institution.

Donations:
To avoid confusion and misplaced donations, there are now be envelopes for the Newman Center available at Assumption to enclose your donations. These specifically state they are for the Newman Center. Envelopes are located on the table next to the bulletins toward the front left of the church near the musicians, organ, and piano. Alternatively, you can put your donation in your own envelope and write "Newman Center" and put it in the offering basket at Mass. If a cash donation is put in the basket without any envelope denoting it is for Newman, it will not be credited to Newman.

Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers:
If you are a lector or eucharistic minister and wish to serve at 10:00 a.m. Mass at Assumption, please send me an email (and copy Austin) so we can communicate this to Assumption and work with their staff to get on the schedule.

For those joining us at Assumption tomorrow for 10:00 a.m. Mass, we will have a coffee hour following. Please bring a baked good to share. See you there!

On Sunday, December 31, 2023, we offered our prayers and best wishes to Fr. Pat following Mass as he transitioned to retirement.

God’s blessings and many thanks for your wonderful ministry and leadership, and all your work in your 20 years at Buffalo State and in over 30 years in the priesthood.
