CHILDREN of our parish will be going out to carol for our shut-ins today after school classes. Please inform Fr. Andrii if your child will be participating. Pizza and other refreshments will be served after the trip. Let’s spread the joy of the Nativity of our Lord!

AID for Ukraine: Today is the 319th day of the war and genocide in Ukraine perpetrated by Russia. This is what our heroes need right now: 20 sets of thermal wares – sizes L and M (On sale at Costco for $10 for 2 pairs), 10 sleeping bags (Amazon $60) or could be used, 10 lightweight blankets new or used (new – Costco $22-25 each), body/hand warmers (Amazon $34 box or Costco), 10 boxes cold/flu medicine ($8/box Costco), 2 boxes Immune support packets (Costco $8), shovel emergency set ($60 Amazon). Please, check the wish list on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2I3LC6NXWNXUF Please, help!

STORM CANCELLATIONS: Parishioners can check TV Channel 3 or 30 for cancellations of any liturgical services or Church activities due to inclement weather. У випадку несприятливої погоди, Церковні Служби можуть бути відмінені. Необхідну інформацію можна отримати в той день з телеканалів 3 або 30.

2023 ENVELOPES: Envelopes for 2023 are available at the church entrance/vestibule. If you did not get a box, please let Elizabeth Garbovska. Конверти для 2023 членських внесків знаходяться при вході до церкви сьогодні. Якщо ви не знайдете ваших конвертів, повідомте Лізу Гарбовську.

2023 EVENT CALENDAR: Any individual or church group that will have events scheduled during 2023 should make the dates known as soon as possible to President Dr. Paul Szwez to avoid confusion.
COFFEE and…: We always need coffee, butter, individual creamers, and monetary donations. Coffee and.. will be served today! Thank you for your continuous support!

BLESSING OF HOUSES FOR THEOPHANY: Fr. Andrii will begin blessing houses tomorrow, Monday, January 9, 2023. He will start in New Britain and then continue in other cities and towns. Visits can be made in the morning, afternoon, or evening. If you have a preference, please call Fr. Andrii at (860) 989-5748. Otherwise, the father will call you to set up a day and time.

DUES: Parishioners should be aware that the $520 yearly dues, do NOT include the amount per member that we have to send to Metropolia, which is $100. As a result, paying only $520 means that we have to take the $100 for Metropolia from the $520 amount, leaving us only $420 per member to pay for church expenses for the entire year. We would greatly appreciate if you include this amount for Metropolia dues as extra to your regular contributions. $620 would be the amount for both Church and Diocese dues. WE CLOSED OUR FINANCIAL BOOKS FOR 2022. ANY MONEY RECEIVED AFTER THAT DATE WILL APPEAR ON YOUR 2023 NOTICE.

AFFIRMATION OF OFFICE: The recently elected Church Council members for 2023 will take their oath of office next Sunday, January 15. *** A Reminder: According to our Parish Constitution, Council members must receive Sacraments of Confession and Communion prior to receiving the oath of office.
