after the building has stood as a pillar of faith and hope in the community for a century, members of the congregation are preparing to celebrate its 100th anniversary. “This church has an incredible history,” said the Rev. Gregory Dobson, the church’s pastor. “In the last century, no matter what was going on in the world, there’s always been stability here, stability in its leadership and loyalty and devotion of the people who come here.” To commemorate the occasion, St. Mary’s is Times Herald's article about our plans for the 100th Anniversary of the opening of our church building in September, 1915. It begins with a special Mass at 11:30 a.m. Sept. 13. Bishop Richard Malone of the Diocese of Buffalo will preside over the service. Immediately after the Mass, the congregation is holding a reception at Old Library Events.
