►Church Projects: Dear parishioners, we are moving forward with the next church projects that we hope to accomplish before the great Jubilee celebration on Sunday, October 11, 2026. The main focus at this stage is the painting of the interior of our church, which will also include the iconographic work that must be carried out by a professional iconographer. This work is planned for February. I want to thank all of you who have already contributed toward the Jubilee Fund. As you all well understand, our parish is called to generously support this work, which will help keep our church in good condition for the future. This is what previous generations have done, and we are grateful for their sacrifices. May God bless our parish!
►Church Domes – Dear parishioners, I would like to inform you that the church domes are in very good condition. At the beginning of the year, when I began consulting with various companies about replacing the roof and eventually painting the domes, we were not sure about their condition. After many consultations and an inspection by the company that replaced the church roof, we learned that the domes are made of copper and therefore are in very good condition.
They were painted in the past, but the specialists explained that this was unnecessary, because copper naturally develops a patina that protects it. In a few years, the intense green and lighter green spots we now see will become one unified color. For this reason, there is no need to touch the domes, as they are gradually returning to the natural copper patina on their own. This also allows us to save a significant amount of money that can be invested in other necessary projects.
►The Altar Rosary Society – would like to thank everyone for helping us with our projects. The 50/50 raffle was won by Ann Marie Coleman in the amount of $ 180. Your generosity is very appreciated.
►Church calendars: You can pick up the church calendar for 2026. They are available in the back of the church. Please take an additional copy and give it to your family members as well.
I want to express my gratitude to Mr. James Plis and his family for supporting the cost of yearly church calendars for so many year! May God bless them!
►Christmas Concert – The concert will be held on Tuesday, December 23rd at 6:00 PM. It is a great joy to welcome back to his home parish the violinist Jimmy Drancsak, who will perform a number of classical Christmas carols as well as Ukrainian Christmas carols on his charming violin. The children of our Sunday Catechetical Program will also perform a couple of carols, and the adult choir will sing several carols in Ukrainian. Please invite your family members and friends to attend this concert.
This concert is dedicated to raising awareness of the rich Christmas traditions of the Ukrainian people and prayerfully remember their current struggle during wartime. There will also be an opportunity to support the Ukraine Relief Fund.
