We have many service opportunities for those who can share their time, talent and treasure! Please check this page for updates for new service opportunities; we will post them as needed below. Thank you for all your support and God Bless you!
This Saturday, November 16 after FFF classes (so around 10:30 AM), we could use help arranging and wrapping the mystery gift boxes which will be sold at the Craft Fair! If you enjoy wrapping, please come join us for about an hour. Contact Michael to let him know you’re coming.
A generous donor has given Family Faith Formation, Youth & Young Adult Ministry, and St. Greg’s School an opportunity to raise a portion of the funds needed for these ministries this year – highly desirable Bills tickets and a signed Josh Allen jersey. These items will be raffled off and raffle tickets will be $10 each. Volunteers who sell tickets (color-coded for each ministry) will benefit those ministries that they represent (ie. FFF). Sign up to volunteer: FFF: Bills-Themed Holiday Season Raffle
We are in need of some assistance with office tasks (i.e. make copies, cut flyers, etc.) Spots are available on Mondays and Wednesdays in the mornings.
Call the FFF Office to schedule a time to come: (716) 688-5760
All our FFF students are invited to create cards of encouragement for our shut-in parishioners. Cards can be dropped off in the Parish Office Vestibule 24/7 in the appropriately labeled box. Our parish staff will mail them out accordingly.
