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. Any volunteers who would like to help prepare the hall for painting and sheet-rocking are welcome to sign up. Any questions or volunteering, please contact Fr. Iura or Chris Komondy 860-759-2723.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS “COATS FOR KIDS PROJECT” Dear Parishioners, Recently at our children at the St. Nicholas party every child received a gift of winter coat. We did receive a plea for help from a sister organization to provide coats for orphan children in Ukraine who have lost one or both of their parents due to the war. The initial request was for 4000 coats. This was increased to 477 coats. We currently either have coats or the funds to purchase 257 coats. We also have funds set aside for shipping. We are requesting help to fund the balance of 220 coats. The need is urgent and of course time-sensitive. We are asking for donations to help fund the increased request.Any donations for this effort will be gratefully appreciated. Checks should be made out to KofC-Ukrainian Relief Fund. Please give the checks to Fr. Iura, Andy Bamber or Chris Komondy. Any questions, please feel free to call 860-759-2723. Thank you for your support.
