BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Diocese of Buffalo has made significant strides in its Catholic education department with the announcement of two new appointments. Father Steven Jekielek has been appointed to a key role, bringing his extensive experience as the Vicar Forane of the Niagara/Orleans region. His leadership is expected to enhance the educational framework within the diocese, fostering a stronger community among the schools.
Additionally, the diocese introduced a new educational leader, whose name has yet to be revealed. This appointment aims to further strengthen the educational initiatives and support systems for Catholic schools in the area. The diocese is committed to providing a high-quality education rooted in Catholic values, and these appointments are seen as a vital step in achieving that goal.
Both leaders will work collaboratively to address the challenges faced by Catholic education and to promote academic excellence while nurturing the spiritual development of students. This transition marks an exciting chapter for the Diocese of Buffalo as it continues to invest in its educational mission.
