                              Change to Daily Mass Confession Schedule (effective immediately -12/11/25)
Dear Parishioners,
​We are in the midst of somewhat of a transition with our priest and our Family of Parishes. Fr. John Adams has taken on additional responsibilities elsewhere in regard to Healing Ministries throughout the Diocese. With this in mind, we are having to reduce the number of times confession is offered before our daily Masses. Confession will continue to be offered 30 minutes before all Vigil Masses on Saturday.
The new daily Mass confession schedule is as follows:
Monday and Wednesday at 8 am – OLHC Chapel
Tuesday at 8 am – Queen of Martyrs
Tuesday and Thursday at 11:30 am – Resurrection
Friday at 11:30 am – St. Josaphat  
                                                                              St. Josaphat's Food Pantry

​St. Josaphat’s New Food Pantry Hours St. Josaphat's Food pantry will now be open on Saturdays from 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. Anyone needing assistance or wishing to make a donation outside of these hours may call the central office at 716-276-9288 to schedule an appointment. At the moment we are also in need of reusable bags. If you have any reusable bags you would like to donate, we will gladly accept those. Thank you to all our parishioners from all four of our churches who give so generously.
                                                                                   Counters Needed

If you are an Extraordinary Minister and would like to bring communion to Parishioners who are sick or homebound , please contact your Parish Office. This ministry, a corporal work of mercy, reminds those who are homebound that they are an important part of our faith community. 
                                                                                  St. Josaphat Weekly Social

Everyone from all four parishes – (parents, grandparents, and youth of all ages) are welcome to join us. Light refreshments for everyone, and recreational activities for our youth will be made available.  
                                                                                Disposal of Religious Items
Please be sure to always cherish blessed religious objects at home, venerate them with piety, and when necessary, dispose of them properly. Religious holy items such as old books, rosaries, or palms or anything that has been blessed should be buried or burned (and then the ashes buried). Please do not bring items to the Parish office or Churches without permission of our Priests. Thank you for your consideration.

2026 Mass Intentions are still available. Please note we are only scheduling at Queen of Martyrs and St. Josaphat through April. If anything changes with the status of those 2 Churches, you can either have a Mass at one of the other Churches in our Family or you will be reimbursed. Please call or stop by the Central Office if you would like to schedule.  
                                                                                         ​Eucharistic Minister
Volunteers Eucharistic Ministers are needed to bring Holy Communion to our homebound parishioners. Volunteers are needed from all 4 of our Churches. Please call the OLHC Parish office at 716 276 9288 to sign up and let us know which Parish you can serve. 
                                                                                                      Warning!!
If you receive a text message or email from any of our priests asking for you to purchase gift cards for them or asking for your assistance, please do not respond. This has happened periodically to parishioners but just know that these are fraudulent requests. You will never be contacted to buy anything for our Priests.
