The organizational meeting of the newly formed Facilities Maintenance Team of St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church took place on Friday evening, January 18th. The schedule of work sessions was also established for the entire year so that plans can be developed for doing all the projects and arrangements made for the purchase of required supplies and equipment.
Once the projects have been determined and prioritized, the group will spend the rest of this “meeting” beginning to work on the first project. The usual time frame for the work sessions will run from 6:30 to about 9:30 p.m. There will be occasions when it is necessary to work later than 9:30 to complete some of the projects.
All parishioners who would like to become part of the team should leave your contact information with Fr. Iura after the Divine Liturgy. Forms for providing your contact information can be found in the vestibule of the church.
Annual Financial Statement: This year the appearance of our Annual Financial Statement is changing. Individual donations listed by envelope number will no longer be printed and the remainder of the statement is being streamlined. The result is a shorter, more concise statement which more closely reflects the statements of the other churches in our diocese.
Individual parishioner donations will be prepared upon request by filling out the form which will accompany the statement.
