Congratulations to Jacob Chavanne for receiving this year's Altar Server of the Year Award from Bishop Fisher at a Mass and ceremony on March 1 at St. Joseph's Cathedral. Jacob first served on the altar from 2016-2018. After his Confirmation in 2022, he returned to altar serving. He is a wonderful role model for the younger altar servers; performing his duties with reverence and composure. We are truly grateful to Jacob for his service to St. Mary's, our liturgies, and our priests.
Jacob is a senior at Williamsville East high school.
During his homily, Father David Baker, Director of Vocations for the Diocese of Buffalo, said, “You are pilgrims of hope moving into the future with a sense of hope." And, “You are a sign of hope for us.” Jacob sure is!
