SAVE OUR BUFFALO CHURCHES
The goal and reason we are all here is to SAVE SOULS through helping the Parishes in our Diocese stay open under Canon Law.
The goal and reason we are all here is to SAVE SOULS through helping the Parishes in our Diocese stay open under Canon Law.
At Save Our Buffalo Churches, we are helping to share information with our diocese on all of our rights as laity and parishes under Canon law.
Closures/Mergers are permitted for ‘grave cause’ only. Canon Law allows for an appeal of a bishop’s decision.
'Grave cause' does NOT include priest shortages, diocese financial issues, nor demographic changes which are temporary circumstances which can change.
When you have the faithful willing to fund a church, repair a church, and use a church, it cannot be closed.
Once a church building is consecrated, the intent is for it to go 'in perpetuity' and not be deconsecrated 'willy nilly'.
"Closures and mergers are a blunt instrument. This endangers the faith life of these people and has caused harm... Forty percent of people whose parishes have been merged leave the Catholic church. There's something wrong. " (now deceased canon lawyer Sr. Kate Kuentzler)
Help us continue our mission and make a difference in this effort. Contact Roxanne at 716-536-1216 for more information.
