Catholic Academy Ends One Chapter and Prepares for the Next & March Meat Raffle
It is with profound sadness that our building on 1069 Delaware Ave will close at the end of of the summer and our students will be moving to Our Lady of Victory School. The CAWB Board of Directors has worked tirelessly to save our school but in the end, the building requires very costly repairs and this was the best decision for our students and families. OLV has welcomed us with open arms and we are excited to join their family. As Msgr. LiPuma stated at a meeting with the families, "a building may be closing but the heart of Catholic Academy will continue beating." We will have a wonderful four months and savor our traditions and academic successes. Please join us at our farewell Meat Raffle on Saturday, March 28th. The doors open at 5:00 with first numbers drawn at 6:00. Prices are $75/table of 8, $10 individual tickets and $15 at the door. We expect a sell-out this year so please purchase your tickets early. Price includes, beer, wine, pop and water. Bring your own snacks. Call the school office at 716-885-6111 for tickets.

Message from the Principal
Welcome from the Principal
Welcome to Catholic Academy of West Buffalo!
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our school community. With 48 years of experience in education—from Pre-Kindergarten through college—I can confidently say that Catholic Academy is a truly special place. Our students inspire me every day with their integrity, their appreciation for our diverse community, and their deep desire to learn and grow.
Rooted in strong Catholic traditions, our school is a place where faith, academic excellence, and character development come together. We provide a nurturing, challenging, and supportive environment where each child is encouraged to discover and develop their God-given potential.
If you are looking for a school where your child will be known, valued, and guided on an exceptional journey of faith and education, we invite you to become part of our Catholic Academy family. We would love to welcome you.
God bless,
Earl Schunk
