Over 50 people attended the Christ Renews Welcome Alumni and Information Gathering after Saturday's 4:00 PM Mass. People who had questions about what to expect at a Christ Renews Welcome Weekend Retreat were able to get answers from previous participants, Deacon Rick, as well as the ministry's Continuation Committee and retreat alum had a nice time catching up with one another.
Parishioners of our Together in Christ Family of Parishes are particularly encouraged to consider attending the Women's Retreat on February 28 & March 1.

The Bible Timeline study begins tonight (1/7/26), 6:30 - 8:00 PM at the Our Lady of Peace parish center and will continue to meet on Wednesdays. The program takes you on a guided journey through salvation history. Jeff Cavins shows you how fourteen of the Bible’s narrative books tell the biblical story from beginning to end and gives you the keys to understanding the amazing story woven through Scripture. You will learn the major people, places, and events of the Bible and discover how they all come together to reveal the remarkable story of our Faith. Our Lady of Peace is located at 10950 Main St., Clarence, NY.
