We need your help!
Do you have a little time in your week to share with the young people of our Parish?
The Religious Education program is in urgent need of two adults willing to spend an hour per week before the 10:00 Mass on Sunday, teaching our faith to our students. Training and materials will be provided. Teachers are needed for 6th and 7th grades.
Please prayerfully consider this wonderful gift of your time.
Call the rectory at 716-759-8554, or email [email protected]

Greetings from our Pastor
I send warm greetings to you. I am Father Walter Szczesny, the Pastor of Our Lady of Peace Parish. I invite you to discover and explore our Parish website. I hope you will find it informative and interesting.
I also invite you to discover the vibrant Liturgical and Ministerial life of our parish. Perhaps you can see yourself becoming involved in our mission to imitate Christ as we are attentive to the needs of others. My door is always open should you have questions or wish to dialogue on your faith journey.
May God continue to bless you and your family,
- Fr. Walter Szczesny
