Is it time to update your contact information? During the pandemic when COVID-19 Protocols prevented many from attending church services, the ability to keep in touch by telephone, mail or email took on increased importance. Because not everyone has computer access, really important information is sent in a letter. Even though you are now able to attend Mass in person, this may be a good time to ask yourself: Does the church office have my correct mailing address and phone number? Have I shared my email address? Make sure that we have been notified of any changes in your contact information by completing this form. This is also a chance to let us know if you: wish to receive the bulletin electronically via email, register as a parishioner, or request envelopes. You can also submit the requested information by phoning our secretary at 716-833-0301 any Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday between 10:30am and 2:30pm; sending an email to blessedtrinitychurch [at] gmail [dot] com; or using the contact feature below to submit the information.

Alumni Memorial Mass
Oct 6, 2024 at 10AM

Next Sunday, October 6, is Alumni Sunday. We are happy to again welcome alumni of Blessed Trinity School for their annual Memorial Mass—their seventeenth since our 2006 parish centennial. The annual observance includes their all-class reunion in St. Charles Hall following the Mass. Please take time to personally greet people who may be sitting near you and encourage them to worship with us at other times during the year. Blessed Trinity School operated from 1909-1975, educating more than 2,300 students. From the beginning it was staffed by the Sisters of St. Joseph, who were joined by lay faculty in the 1950s.

A Sonnet for St. Francis. This sonnet, entitled “Francis, Rebuild My Church,” was written by Rev. Malcolm Guite, an Anglican priest and poet. He wrote it for the feast of St. Francis of Assisi (Oct 4) and also dedicated it to Pope Francis.

‘Francis rebuild my church which, as you see
Is falling into ruin.’ From the cross
Your saviour spoke to you and speaks to us
Again through you. Undoing set you free,
Loosened the traps of trappings, cast away
The trammelling of all that costly cloth
We wind our saviour in. At break of day
He set aside his grave-clothes. Your new birth
Came like a daybreak too, naked and true
To poverty and to the gospel call,
You woke to Christ and Christ awoke in you
And set to work through all your love and skill
To make our ruin good, to bless and heal
To wake the Christ in us and make us whole.

Docent Eleanor Ash explains the symbolic placement of artwork in the narthex as Rafael Rondon prepares to explain the architectural design of the nave.

This Sunday, September 22, is our final “Sacred Space Sunday.” It started as an experiment to welcome summer visitors and honor Bob Heicklen and his commitment to outreach. It has been a success thus far, with both visitors and parishioners remaining after Mass for the three previous events. Please take time after Mass this Sunday to pose your questions about our history, art and architecture to members of our docent team.

Garden Grant Update. Our Lunenfeld Beautification Grant reconciliation documents have been filed, and we thank the dedicated volunteers who planted and maintained our parish flower pots, gardens and lawn over a hot, dry summer. We accidentally underreported volunteer hours last week. In actuality, our garden team numbered 21, and they donated a total of 119 hours between April 20 and Aug 24. Given the $15/hour credit for volunteer hours, we “earned” $1,785.00, which is almost three times our required $600 match! Thanks again to our dedicated landscaping crew.

News from our Parish

We look forward to to welcoming former members of the Church at St. Lawrence. As Father Bob so beautifully stated in our August 18 bulletin, “Their involvement changes everything in a new way! Making room for Christ among us in each other brings richness, new challenges, and a visible living of Jesus’ Good News as we ‘behold love’s amazing grace!’ “

Diocesan Announcement on Church Closures Delayed. The Buffalo Diocese has announced a seven to ten day delay in revealing the final decision on church closures and parish mergers, originally scheduled for September 1st. The time required to review the large number of counter proposals filed in response to the planned closures has been cited as the reason for the delay.

Self-Care Sunday
Sep 8, 2024

For the Ladies. You’re in for a treat on Sunday, Sept 8, when you join members of Blessed Trinity’s Ladies Sodality for “Self-Care Sunday.” Celeste Borczynski, a licensed Esthetician and owner of Skin with Celeste, and BT parishioner Bonnie Williams, an independent nail stylist, will provide hands-on beauty demonstrations. You’ll leave our self-care retreat knowing how to do you own facial and give yourself a ten-minute manicure. Lunch will be provided, along with some surprises. It all begins at 11:30 in St. Charles Hall. There is no charge—just a free will offering—but we will need reservations by Wed., Sep 4. Call Amy at 716-836-4694.

We always need a “Plan B.” We very much appreciate everyone who has pitched in to water our gardens during July and August. We hope that September bring cooler temperatures and less need for watering, but we never know what Mother Nature has in store. Can you be her backup for one week (Sunday-Saturday)? If so, add your name to a Sunday on the September Gardening Calendar, which can be found on the table at the ramp side entrance. If you have never done this before, include your phone number and another volunteer will arrange to show you the hose/sprinkler connections.
