Each Saturday from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m., our parish hosts the St. Francis Xavier Dining Room at the in the Black Rock neighborhood. It is a welcoming place where 20–40 guests come for a nutritious take-out meal, friendly conversation, and the comfort of community.

This ministry reflects our mission to live the Gospel by reaching out with compassion—inviting all to find dignity, hope, and fellowship around the table. We rely on generous donors and caring volunteers to make this possible. Every contribution—from monetary gifts marked “St. Francis Xavier Dining Room” to giving just an hour of service—makes a real difference in the lives of our neighbors.

Whether you’d like to volunteer, donate, or simply join in solidarity, you are warmly welcomed to participate in this work of mercy. Together as the Catholic Community of Buffalo North, we demonstrate that faith in action strengthens both the guest and the giver.
