Welcome to St. Louis Roman Catholic Church
"We, the Parish of St. Louis, Mother Church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, are committed to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, through the celebration of the sacraments, education and service to our community."
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING YOUR PARISH
Your parish depends on the generous donations of it's parishioners in order to pay bills, offer services, pay salaries, continue programs, and maintain your church.
Thank you to all who have continued to support St. Louis.
During these times when there are no Masses, your Parish recieves very little income but must continue to go on. There are several ways in which you can continue to support your Parish. You can mail your weekly contribution to St. Louis 35 Edward St. Buffalo New York 14202. You can donate to St. Louis using our Pay PaL account located on the Donate button located at the top of this page. You can have a direct payment made to St. Louis through your financial service.
Many have been sending their contribution directly to the Church and we are most grateful.
We are also aware that so many people are in a difficult situation now and for them this may not be possible. We appreciate whatever you can offer.
Let us continue to pray with and for one another that this disease may pass quickly.
IMPORTANT CORONAVIRUS INFORMATION
We certainly are living and ministering in extraordinary times!

Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger temporarily dispenses the Catholic faithful from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days during the coronavirus threat.
- There will be no regularly scheduled public Masses in the Diocese of Buffalo until further notice due to an abundance of caution. Churches may remain open, as locally feasible, and the faithful are encuraged to continue to visit and pray while maintaing a prudent distance from one another.Holy Water fonts should be emptied and thoroughly cleaned.
- Reception of the Eucharist on the tongue should be discouraged.
- All other parish events and larger celebrations, including Confirmations and Lenten penance services, must be postponed until further notice out of an abundance of caution. Further guidance will be provided regarding April and May as developments become clear.
We will be posting Scripture readings for each Sunday while the Church remains closed. Please find these posts on our Parish News page and also our Facebook page - St Louis RC Church.
