We will continue to sing and pray together in unison and solidarity to our
Lord Jesus for His abiding peace, grace, hope, and healing.

We are called to be a Church that prays for peace and seeks justice
We are called to be a Church that gives hope
We are called to be a Church that heals wounds
~
Pastoral Letter of the 2022 Synod of Bishops

A Love Chain to Ukraine

We fly to Your patronage, O Virgin Mother of God.
 Despise not our prayers in our need,
 but deliver us from all dangers, since you alone are pure and blessed.
 O most glorious ever-Virgin Mary,
 the Mother of Christ our God, accept our prayers
 and present them to Your Son and our God,
 that for the sake of you, He enlighten and save our souls.

Our planning session for our 100th Anniversary Celebration was very productive. Twelve parishioners braved the nasty weather to attend our scheduled meeting on Wednesday, January 25th.
Our tentative plans are leaning towards having our centennial banquet on Sunday, September 15th, 2024 in our parish hall.
The day of celebration will begin at noon with a Divine Liturgy of Thanksgiving. Archbishop Borys will be the main celebrant.  The banquet will follow starting around @ 3 pm with entertainment that would include the famous Voloshky Dancers.
We will keep you informed as these tentative plans become finalized in the following months.
