As our Family of Parishes continues to develop, we are pleased to announce another step forward as we begin our Pastoral Office to serve the parishioners of the Cattaraugus Creek Catholic Community. The office will be at the St. Mary’s Parish Rectory in Arcade. The secretary/receptionist is Barb Parish, and she will be available during office hours in Arcade on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm. For the benefit of parishioners in Springville and West Valley, she will also be available on Tuesdays from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm at St. Aloysius Parish Rectory in Springville. We hope that these hours will accommodate the needs of all parishioners who wish to visit the office, and of course, Barb can be reached by phone or e-mail as well.
We would like to take this opportunity not only to welcome Barb, but also to express our gratitude to Patti Dashnaw of St. John the Baptist, Debbie Sisson of St. Mary’s, and Tricia Bofinger of St. Aloysius for the many years of dedicated service to our parish communities as secretary/receptionists and bookkeepers who often went above and beyond to support our parishioners and, in many ways, keep our parishes running so well! Thank you!
