  WELCOME DIANE!

    There is a new face you will be seeing around St. Joseph and it’s mine! My name is Diane M. Brennan and I am the new Director of Lifelong Faith Formation. I am very excited about the wonderful opportunity to come and join the parish and move back to Buffalo after a fifteen year absence, along with my husband Robert and my daughter Chaelon. We are still house hunting and have not settled in yet, but I have moved into the office here and thanks to Fr. Jack, Sr. Jeremy, the entire pastoral staff team and Athena, the administrative assistant, and the few people I have met, I am feeling right at home.

I am very excited to be joining the parish in this 160^th anniversary year. My experiences in my last parish have given me the tools I need for this new position and I hope to be able to work with everyone to move into the future plans being dreamed up for the next decade of SJUP! I am blessed to be here. I have an open mind and a positive attitude.  Together, we are stepping off in faith to build the formation programs, to sustain a cooperative relationship with all the ministries here and to listen to the desires the parish has to improve for the future.

My email is d.brennan@stjosephbuffalo.com and the main Formation office number is 837-2971 and my personal extension is 833-0298 ext. 310. I look forward to getting to know you all and calling this home from now on.  Please feel free to stop in and say “Hello”!
