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! |

The Patricians Society
will hold a meeting on Wednesday, April 17th from 6:45 - 8:45 p.m. at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 502 Ford St., Bridgeport, PA. (We meet in the coffee hour room -- enter from the Ford St parking lot.) The Topic is Shroud of Turin The Shroud of Turin is believed to be the burial cloth of Jesus. It is the most scientifically-studied object in history. Come learn about the scientific evidence supporting its authenticity and the truths of our Faith that it reveals. All are welcomed to attend. The Society of the Patricians is an informal group of Catholic adults who meet monthly under the direction of Fr. Sam Keyes to learn more about the Roman Catholic Faith so that we can better share it with others. Please come, and bring a friend! Refreshments will be served and free literature will be available. The program is sponsored by the Legion of Mary. More info see the flyer.
We have now installed a "No Exit" Sign on the driveway leading to the West Gate at our Cemetery. It is simply not safe to exit from that gate. Please heed the warning and exit from the Eastern Gate.
We thank Ron Fonock and Floyd Pachella for funding and installing this traffic sign. |

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. |
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! |
