2025 Mass Book
The 2025 Mass Book is open for your Mass Intentions! Barb, our parish secretary can be contacted at 1-585-492-5330 on Mondays and Thursdays at St. Mary’s in Arcade from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. On Tuesdays you can reach her by coming to St. Aloysius or calling her at 1-716-592-2701 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. Please come in or call during those hours to schedule your Masses. You may also place them in the collection baskets at all the churches. Please indicate on the message if a Mass Card is needed.
Although Tricia, our Business Manager has done these in the past, with the reorganization of our family of parishes administrative positions, it is a best utilization of our time to go through Barb. This allows Tricia to focus on the business and accounting needs of our parish. We are so thankful for all that Tricia and Barb do to support all of our churches and needs!

Catholic Home Mission Appeal (April 2024)
Catholic Home Mission Appeal is April 27 & 28, 2024.
Many of us would be surprised to hear millions of Catholics are annually in need of assistance right here in the United States. Each year the US Conference of Catholic Bishops requests that we conduct a special second collection for the Catholic Home Mission Appeal. With your support yearly, we can continue to provide essential pastoral outreach in home mission dioceses.
This outreach ministry provides the resources to bring the Eucharist, Sacred Scripture and prayer to places outside our church walls, including hospitals and prisons.
Please consider being as generous in this appeal as you can to help strengthen the Church at home.
Your support on April 27/28 (2024) will truly make a difference.
