Welcome

Our Holy Name Society at St. Andrew's, Kenmore, NY, is the men's spiritual, support and social organization of the parish. For the last 30 years we've supported the church, St. Andrew's Country Day School and their different needs while maintaining an active social calendar of monthly, informative meetings, bowling and golf leagues as well as a regular craft show and chicken BBQ dinners that help fund our charitable efforts in the parish.

Thank You Fritz!

Our Fritz Styka donated a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary to the Garden of Innocents section of St. Andrew's Parish. The statue, in memory of Fritz's late wife Florence, is placed prominently raised and in the center of that section. Florence Styka had been chair of the parish Right to Life committee for more than 15 years before her death. Fritz, a long time Holy Name  member, was joined this morning by his son Gary and daughter Laurie Styka Bloom at the dedication and blessing conducted by pastor Msgr. Richard Siepka. The next time you go past the rectory to the church's Lowell doors stop and say a prayer to the BVM.
