Note from the Pastor

Fr. Dennis G. Riter

Priests often grumble, “The diocese forgets about the southern tier.” Specifically we note that most educational programs are centered at the seminary in East Aurora and so parishioners must travel an hour to reach them. Now however; the Diocese of Buffalo is experimenting with classes at various locations around the 8 counties of our diocese. Please notice the class offerings mentioned below. The teacher is Deacon Donald Weigel with a solid reputation as an engaging speaker. As usual the parish will defray part of the cost of tuition to those who successfully complete a course.

Five Week Courses Offered Locally

Christ the King Seminary will offer two fall courses at Blessed Mary Angela Parish as part of their Continuing Education Program:

The Sermon on the Mount held Mondays, 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., September 8 – 29

How do Catholics read the Bible? Mondays 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., October 6 – November 3

Both courses will be taught by Deacon Donald Weigel and can be taken for Continuing Education Credits or for auditing. The rate is $65 per course. Registration through the Seminary.
