Our thanks to Sal Capaccio @SalSports @WGR550 for doing a terrific job as the auctioneer for Saturday night's St. John the Baptist School Neumann Night. Go Bills! Go Sabres! Go Jags!

One does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

As we begin our journey through #Lent, let us ask the Lord to grant us the gift of true conversion of heart, so that we may better respond to His love for us and share that love with those around us.

Today's Angelus Address from Pope Leo XIV:

Today’s Gospel reading speaks to us about 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭, who recognized Jesus as the Lamb of God, the Messiah, proclaiming: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

[St. John the Baptist @stjohnskenmore]

Today is the feast day of the founder of our parish. In 1837, Father John N. Neumann took up his residence in what was then known as North Bush, and became our first pastor.

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

Saint John Neumann, Bishop, pray for us!

Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths:
all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

With gratitude to all who served.
