BULLETIN Announcements
►CHURCH ROOF – Dear Parishioners, I would like to inform you that the Eparchy of Stamford has reviewed the various estimates I submitted for the replacement of the church roof and has approved FW Dennis Roofing LLC to carry out this important project. The cost of the new church roof will be $98,750.00.
The work is scheduled to begin either after the Festival, which is set for July 13, or in August. During this time, we will also begin a fundraising campaign to support this and other necessary projects in preparation for our church's 125th anniversary next year.
Please pray that, in unity and with joy, we may continue to love and support our beautiful church, where we receive so many of the blessings essential to our lives.
►Baptism: God’s blessings and congratulations to Liliana Olivia, daughter of Tonjia (Droczak) and Mark Bennett who received the Holy Mysteries of Initiation on Saturday, June 14, 2025. We joyfully welcome Liliana into our Christian Family! Warmest congratulations to her godparents – Tania Droczak and Craig Bennett. Wishing many happy and blessed years to all of them! Mnohaya Lita!
►2025 Sloatsburg Pilgrimage – The Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate joyfully announce the 71th Holy Dormition (Assumption) Pilgrimage, August 9-10, 2025 at their motherhouse in Sloatsburg, NY. The Sister Servants chose the theme for this year: “Mary, Mother of hope, accompany us on our journey!” (St. John Paul II)
For additional information please visit the Sisters Servants webpage at: or call the parish office at (315) 252 5573.
►SUMMER FESTIVAL – The Parish Summer Festival will take place on Sunday, July 13, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. We need many volunteers to help make this event a success. If you’re able to volunteer, please call Laura Pesarchick at (315) 209-7600 to let her know you’re available. Also, please invite your family and friends to join us at the Festival. Thank you for your support!
►Festival Donations - Dear Parishioners, each year, some are unable to volunteer but support us by making financial contributions to help cover festival costs. If you’d like to help in this way, please bring or mail your donation and mark it “Festival Donation.” We are also in need of lottery tickets and gift cards from local stores and restaurants for our raffle baskets and other nice items. Any support you can offer is greatly appreciated—thank you!
► Old Family Photos and Memorabilia - A few years ago, I reached out in the church bulletin asking for donations of old family photos and items connected to our parish’s history. Many of you kindly responded, and we received wonderful pieces—wedding photos of parents and grandparents, baptism and First Communion pictures, snapshots from church picnics and festivals, and more. I am once again appealing to your generosity. As we prepare for our jubilee celebration next year, we are looking to collect more of these meaningful items. They will be carefully preserved in the church archive and may be featured in our jubilee commemorative book. Often, these precious memories are safer with us than at home, where younger generations may not realize their value or know how to preserve them. Thank you for helping us honor and preserve our shared parish history!
►Moleben Services - During the month of JUNE, Moleben services will be held on Fridays at 6:00 PM. These services are dedicated to seeking the blessings of Jesus Christ for our families, parish, and especially for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. We will pray for peace in Ukraine and throughout the world. Please make an effort to attend these spiritually enriching services. Let us take time to come together in prayer and strengthen our community!
►2025 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. This year, our parish goal is $ 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 three 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. Blessings to all!
