►Jubilee Committee: Dear Parishioners, over the past few weeks, I have been working to establish the Jubilee Committee, a dedicated group of parishioners who will assist me throughout the year in planning and executing various projects in anticipation of our church’s 125th anniversary next year. Our primary focus will be on necessary repairs and improvements to the church building, including the restoration of the church roof, painting of the domes, interior painting, and several other essential projects. I am pleased to introduce the members of this committee, who will offer their guidance and support as we move forward with these initiatives:
Trustees: Lydia Husak and Matthew Pysnack
Secretary: Kathryn Baim
Members: Stefan Lysiak, Daniel Pesarchick, Paul Kastick, Matt Moskov, Russ Harkins.
Please keep our parish community and the success of these efforts in your prayers as we work together for the good of our church. Blessings to all, Fr. Vasile.
►2025 Lenten Mission: The Lenten mission for our parish will take place on Saturday, April 5, and will be led by Fr. Gerry Waterman from Syracuse, and on Sunday, April 6, it will be led by Fr. Andriy Dwulit from Rochester.
*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 our neighbors.
*Please attend church services regularly during Lent! Invite your family members and friends to join you in prayer during these special days of our common spiritual renewal.
*Parents, kindly remind your elementary, high school, and college-aged children to come to church and participate in the Sacrament of Confession (Reconciliation).
May the grace of God and His peace continue to be with you during this Lenten season!
