Our brothers and sisters in Ukraine hope and pray that we here in America do not forget them in their trials and tribulations of war. They hope and expect us to 1) pray for them and 2) support them.
And this is exactly what we do here at SS Peter & Paul, the center of all things Ukrainian in Montgomery county. So don't stay home Saturdays and Sundays. Come to Church and pray with us. Both God and our kin in blood and spirit need us NOW, need our prayers and need our support! |
Praying for Peace in UkraineWe continually pray for all who travel to the safety of neighboring nations as well as those who fight for freedom, and the perseverance of liberty, justice, and independence.
*** We continually pray as one united voice throughout all of our churches, throughout our great nation, and throughout all countries in our world that our Lord Jesus will grant our People Freedom, Democracy, and Peace. *** You can still send in monetary donations for aiding our Ukrainian sisters and brothers in this time of need.

Our Annual Palm Sunday Communion Breakfast will be held on Sunday, March 24th in our Church Hall starting at 10:30 am.
This is especially important since our parish is also celebrating our 100th year anniversary. Our Parish Sunday School Students will perform on stage the Biblical Events of Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem one week before his Holy death and Resurrection. All our children are free to attend and adult tickets are only $5.00 for the breakfast meal of eggs, ham, potatoes, coffee, tea and milk. We will be sending out letters and tickets in the mail this week to all our parishioners. However you can also obtain tickets from one of our ushers after or before Divine Liturgy. We have room for everyone in our Church hall, so please plan on attending. We will continue our tradition of having a children's Easter Basket raffle and are appreciative for any donations towards this event. If you would like to volunteer for the setup of our tables or for the cleanup afterwards, please see Fr. Ron. We appreciate all helping hands. Our Lenten Journey will soon be over.
Please take time to reflect, pray, prepare, and be of loving service to our family, friends, and neighbors within our local and global communities. In the Ukrainian Catholic Tradition we fast from meats on all Fridays and find time to do good works of charity and pray for world peace wherever there is conflict, strife, and suffering. |

tentative plans become finalized in the following months. |
We appreciate all of our volunteers for our last event in our Hall.
We are so blessed with our wonderful volunteers who took the time and effort to lend a helping hand and welcome our guests to our beautiful hall and church grounds. We are able to serve the public by hosting the bi-weekly meeting of the local AA group, as well as both primary and general elections. In addition, our hall is the official emergency site for the Bridgeport School. We will keep you posted on any future events. |
We truly appreciate all who volunteer, because without their selfless and generous acts, we would not have a successful catering ministry!
Many blessings, Much love and gratitude go out to everyone who helped in anyway! Just remember that Volunteers are always welcomed to help in anyway. Please keep this in mind when you are planning your own To Do Lists. One person can make a difference! And just remember that We can't do without all of YOU! |
