Seeking to Serve? (2025)

Liturgical Ministries: Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Altar Servers, Ushers, Music Ministers

One of the best things that came out of Vatican II was the realization that, as all of us make up the Church, the Body of Christ, it is all of our responsibility to actively participate in the Mass.

Due to the changes in Mass Times that were made because of the right sizing/restructuring on the Road to Renewal, we understand many who may have participated at Mass may be looking to continue during another Mass Time or even at a different Church within our Family.

We would like to invite those members of our Cattaraugus Creek Catholic Community Family who were Ministers at other Mass Times to participate in the new schedule.

If you are interested or have any questions, I invite you to contact me.

I hope many of you feel a call to actively serve our ever-growing Eucharistic community boldly serving others through God’s love!

Please contact the St. Aloysius Family Office at 716-592-2701 ext. 210 or email ccccsecretary@roadrunner.com
