🌟✝️ Happy Easter, Faith Formation Families! ✝️🌟

May the joy and hope of Easter fill your hearts and homes today and always! As we celebrate the glorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, let us rejoice in the promise of new life and renewed faith.

Just as Jesus emerged victorious over death, may we also find strength in His triumph and courage in His love. Let us reflect on the immense sacrifice He made for each and every one of us, and let His resurrection be a beacon of hope guiding us through life's challenges.

As we gather with our loved ones, whether in person or in spirit, let us remember the power of forgiveness, the beauty of redemption, and the everlasting grace of God.

May this Easter season be a time of renewal, growth, and profound blessings for you and your families. Let us spread the light of Christ through our words and actions, inspiring others with the message of love and salvation.

Wishing you all a blessed and joy-filled Easter!

Peace,
Melissa

Many areas of Western New York will experience heavy snowfalls and drifting along with extremely high winds, bitter wind chills, and possible power outages. These are dangerous and life-threatening conditions. Please respect the travel bans in our communities. In light of these dangerous conditions no one should put themselves or others at risk to attend Sunday Mass this weekend.

I have asked those parishes who have livestream capabilities to livestream their weekend Masses. If you community has travel restrictions or dangerous weather conditions, do not attempt to attend Masses in person. Use the livestream technology to spiritually connect with others in prayer. Also, please check on neighbors who may be in need.

Please join me in praying for our first responders, utility workers, hospital workers, and all those serving our communities during this storm.

Our new Family of Parishes name is:

WHEAT Scattered and Sown

WHEAT encompasses all of our parishes. It reminds us of Eucharist/bread. The Scattered and Sown indicates our mission to spread the Gospel and God's love in the world.

W West Falls - St. George Church
H Holland - St. Joseph's Church,
E Elma - St. Vincent de Paul and Annunciation
A Aurora - Immaculate Conception
T Together

The Family of Parishes names indicates a group of parishes. That's why it could not be an individual Saint's name, and also helps to understand the name criteria from the diocese.

Please continue to pray for our Road to Renewal process.
