All Souls’ Saturdays —SOROKOUSTY—will be celebrated during Lent on Saturdays: March 12, 19, 26 and June 4. Please take a booklet found in the entrance of the church, fill it out, place it in envelope, and drop it in the collection basket. Let us remember all our loved ones who have gone to their heavenly reward. Eternal Memory!

There is frozen PYROHY for sale in the church hall for as long as supplies last for $10.00 a bag. Each bag contains 2 dozen in each bag.

A container is in our church vestibule for non-perishable food. This collection will be taken every week or twice per month. Father Iura will distribute the food to those in need. Thank you for your generosity.
