Dominic Buttino
Life Teen/Edge Coordinator

        Hello! I have been with the parish since I was ten or eleven and moved from St. Catherine of Siena in West Seneca. I enjoy my roles at St. Vincent's because of the impact that exposure to God and a loving community can have on the lives of the kids I meet. I've taught in first and seventh grade classrooms here and helped on the Life Teen core team. I was also on the core team with the middle school Edge program. In 2016, I became the Edge Coordinator, and I'm 2020 the Life Teen Coordinator. Outside of St. Vincent's, I used to be a data analyst full time, but now am pursuing teaching secondary math full time because of my passion for teaching teens and love of math. I enjoy every day that I work with the middle and high schoolers and want the best for them in their faith and their life. Please reach out to me if you know of someone who might be interested in joining one of our youth programs. Thank you!
