On Saturday, April 11, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., St. Bernadette Parish welcomes families with special needs to a Sensory-Friendly Easter Mass.
Fr. Joe Wolf will be the celebrant; Fr. Gerard Skrzynski will interpret the Mass through American Sign Language.
The Mass offers a shorter, less crowded worship setting allowing people to move freely as needed.
The lighting will be dimmer, the music soothing and low gluten hosts available.
Light refreshments will be served after Mass in the accessible Parish Ministry Center.
This event is sponsored by Open Doors Ministry, a ministry that advocates for the inclusion of people with disabilities into the life of the parish.
St. Bernadette is located at 5930 South Abbott Rd., Orchard Park, NY.
