In recent days, several local parishes have received very encouraging news:
• The Vatican has ruled that Holy Apostles in Jamestown and Our Lady of Peace in Clarence will remain freestanding parishes, as confirmed by Save Our Buffalo Churches and WIVB News 4.
• Bishop Fisher has revoked his April 3, 2025 decree suppressing the personal parish of Our Lady of Bistrica, due to procedural errors in the required consultation with the Presbyteral Council. A new decree would be required before any future action is taken.

These decisions show that appeals can be heard and parishes can be saved.

Our own effort to Save All Saints Parish is still very much alive. Please:
• Keep praying for our parish, our parishioners, and our diocese
• Stay informed and share this post
• Continue to support All Saints with your presence and your voice

Together, in faith and hope, we will keep working for the future of All Saints Parish. 🙏💙
