News & Events

If you want to place information in the bulletin, it must be sent to the bulletin email address on the front of the bulletin 14 days in advance of the date you want it published.

For example, something for July 6th would need to be sent by June 22.

If you can send anything earlier, it helps me determine what we will have room for.

During Advent and Lent, information is due a full month before publication because of LPI’s limited hours.

For a name to be placed on the prayer intentions for the sick, it must be requested by the individual or a family member of that person, no exceptions. We appreciate your understanding since some people do not wish their names to be shared publicly.

Help Us Plan for the March for Life 2026!

The Respect Life Office is excited to begin preparing for the next March for Life in January 2026 – and we need your input.

The Diocese of Buffalo joins hundreds of thousands of Catholics and others in Washington, D.C., participating in a peaceful march of public witness and prayer.

Traditionally we have traveled together by bus, attended the evening Vigil Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, and marched the next day to the Supreme Court Building.

Whether you’ve joined us before or have never attended the March, we want to hear from you!

Your feedback will help us shape our plans and make the trip meaningful, accessible, and well organized for everyone.

Please take a few minutes to complete our short survey at: buffalodiocese.org/respect-life

For questions or more information, contact the Respect Life Office (please see bulletin of May 25, 2025 for specific contact info).
