BULLETIN Announcements

►2026 Parish Lenten Retreat – Dear Parishioners, the Lenten Mission (Retreat) for our parish will take place from Friday, March 13th to Sunday, March 15th. The retreat director for this parish spiritual event will be Father Ihor Kolisnyk, a Redemptorist monk from Ukraine. Let us remember that Great Lent is a time when we are called to renew our spiritual lives through repentance and the confession of our sins. It is a time to work toward building a better relationship with our Lord and with people. Please make an effort to attend church services regularly during Lent. We also encourage you to invite your family members and friends to attend church and join us in prayer during these special days of our common spiritual renewal and our journey toward Easter. Parents, please remind your elementary, high school, and college-age children to come to church and celebrate the Sacrament of Confession (Reconciliation) during the Great Lent. May the grace and peace of God continue to be with you throughout this Lenten season!

►Festival Meeting: The Festival Meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 10 at 6:00 PM. All coordinators responsible for various areas of the Festival are asked to attend this meeting. I also invite anyone who would like to join us to please come, as we are interested in hearing different points of view and suggestions that help us improve our Festival each year.

► Sale of Paska Bread - The parish ladies will be baking paska bread before Easter. The sale will take place on Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22, after the church liturgies in the church basement. We would like to thank Ann Coleman and her team for organizing this effort, as many of us cherish the Ukrainian Easter tradition and wish to have paska bread for Easter. To place an order, please call Ann Coleman at (315) 515-0841 or Lydia Husak at (315) 730-3556.
