BULLETIN Announcements

► Church Iconographic Work: The interior church painting project, which began on Tuesday, May 26, has now been completed. I am grateful to the workers who put forth a tremendous amount of effort to repair the many areas of the walls and ceiling that had deteriorated over the years. Large sections of the ceiling had to be re-plastered. Thanks to their careful and professional work, we now have a beautifully restored and high-quality interior finish throughout the church. May God bless the workers for their dedication, skill, and conscientious service. 

This coming week, two specialized iconographers from Ukraine will begin their work. According to the ancient traditions of the Church, icons are always prayerfully painted by the iconographers themselves. As a church community, we are invited to accompany them and their sacred artistic work with our own prayers. Please join me in praying for Ivan and Vitalii, that God may bless them in this important and responsible endeavor. It is now our responsibility to ensure that we preserve our church building in the best possible condition for future generations, just as previous generations—and many of our current members—have faithfully supported various renovation projects throughout the years. I also ask you to support these projects financially. Regardless of the amount, it is important that each person contributes according to their ability. Every gift helps and is greatly appreciated. Blessings to you all!

►2026 BISHOP’S APPEAL - Dear parishioners, beginning each May, our parish joins other church communities of our Eparchy in contributing to our Bishop’s Annual Charity Appeal. Our parish goal is to collect $ 5,800. These funds enable the Eparchy to launch and sustain numerous charitable initiatives both within and beyond our Eparchy. Given the ongoing hardship brought by the war in Ukraine over the past four years, our generous support is more needed than ever. Please consider contributing to help our Bishop continue his mission of doing good in the world. The suggested contribution for each working family is $100. If you are able to give more, your generosity will be deeply appreciated. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.

►2026 SUMMER FESTIVAL – The Parish Summer Festival will be held on Sunday, July 12, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. We will need many volunteers to help make this event a success.

These are important days for cleaning and preparing all areas of our church grounds to ensure the Summer Festival runs smoothly. Thank you in advance for your support.
