Dear Parishioners,
We wish you and your family good health and look forward to gathering together again as a faith community soon!
During this difficult time, our parish still needs financial support to maintain our facilities and provide for our parish ministries.
We encourage parishioners, if they are able, to continue to send weekly offerings through the many options available:
- Mail to the Parish Office, 6919 Transit Rd, East Amherst, NY 14051
- Submit via our Online Giving system on our website link above.
- Drop off at the Parish Office using the drop slot in the Parish Office door.
Any questions may be directed to the Parish Office via email to: rectory@stmaryswormville.org
We thank you for your continued support of your faith community and will keep you and your family in our daily prayer intentions.
