Our parish will be preparing a Prosphora, a traditional Ukrainian Christmas meal on Sunday, January 19, 2025 after the Divine Liturgy that will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. Tickets are $40.00 for adults, $10.00 for youth from 14 to 18.

The Parish has put together a plan of action to bring our hall to modern standards. Being able to rent the hall out for weddings, christening and various social events will help the parish financially. A fundraising program for the work has begun with the Christmas Bazaar and Christmas caroling program. The program which was begun last year with air conditioning the hall continue with painting the ceiling grid-work, replacing ceiling tiles, sheet-rocking the entire hall, new effect lighting and painting it. Any donations to this modernization project will be greatly appreciated. The checks should be payable to the Church and given to Natalie Chermak of Fr. Iura. Some of the work commenced on Wednesday, Dec. 18th. Any volunteers who would like to help prepare the hall for painting and sheet-rocking are welcome to sign up. Questions or volunteering, please contact Fr. Iura or Chris Komondy 860-759-2723.

This Year the Parish Choir will come to every Parishioners home to sing Christmas Carols starting on Friday afternoon December 27 through Sunday, December 29. The program will be continued the following week on Friday afternoon January 3 through Sunday, January 5th. All Donation proceeds will go 100% to pay for the church hall upgrades and remodel.
