Catholic Family of South Buffalo - Pillars of Faith

Pillars

Six Pillars

The Catholic Family of South Buffalo has organized six Pillars that focus on different aspects of Parish Life. Volunteers on each Pillar Group work together to help carry out the mission of our Family. We will soon be entering the holy season of Lent. It is a time for reflection, prayer, almsgiving and personal conversion. Our Family of Parishes has planned a number of activities to help us make our Lenten journey more meaningful. They include Ash Wednesday Masses and blessings, a Tenebrae service featuring the choir of the Church of the Holy Family, Stations of the Cross each Friday evening, a Day of Mercy with confessions, an Evening of Reflection, and the three-part “Growth in the Spirit” series. Please consider taking part in one or more of these opportunities for spiritual growth and love of God. If you are interested in giving of yourself to our Parish Family, contact the Central Office.
