Sacraments are an expression of our Catholic beliefs and a gift from our heavenly Father.  We are excited to work with families in helping them prepare their child to receive the Sacraments.  Parents should not only determine if their child is spiritually ready, but also that the family can devote the time needed to prepare the child at home.  Contact the Faith Formation office (716) 688-0599 if you have questions or concerns.
