UOL: Today is the last week for Operation Christmas Child collections!! Thank you for your generous donations!! We continue collections for food banks and children of Ukraine for St. Nick!!
HOLODOMOR: November is Holodomor remembrance month. Those unfamiliar with the Holodomor in Ukraine should know that between 1932 and 1934, at least 7 million (possibly as high as 10 million) Ukrainians were starved to death in a genocide conducted by the communists/socialists. In June of 1933, an average of 30,000 people PER DAY died. Please pray for the souls of these innocent victims.
UOL and Sisterhood: our three donation drives continue!!! Please be generous with your donations. The first collection will help our local food pantry prepare for the Holidays. We are collecting canned or boxed food items. (No glass). Each item will have a sticker saying “In remembrance of the Holodomor in Ukraine, so no one will go hungry again.” The second is for Samaritan’s Purse. This organization collects school supplies, bar soaps, washcloths, toothbrushes, small toys, stuffed animals, new socks, hairbrushes, and other small items that fit into a shoebox. UOL members will take the items to the meeting spot and help pack the shoeboxes. Last year, the volunteers packed over 400 boxes. These boxes will be distributed worldwide, including in Ukraine. Please find it in your heart to help those less fortunate than you. Thank you.
SISTERHOOD and UOL: We are currently having three donation drives: Children of Ukraine for St. Nicholas, Operation Christmas Child for children in need everywhere, and a Food Drive for the Food Banks. Thank you for supporting our outreach programs! СЕСТРИНСТВО та УПЛ: Наразі ми проводимо три кампанії зі збору пожертв: «Діти України» для Святого Миколая, «Операція Різдвяна дитина» для дітей, які потребують допомоги, та продовольча кампанія для продовольчих банків.
FROM THE CEMETERY COMMITTEE: The water at the cemetery is shut off for the winter season as of Saturday, October 24th. Please clean any perennial vegetation around headstones. Hostas are getting overgrown and becoming an eyesore; if they are not maintained, they will be cut down and mowed over. Please help keep our cemetery looking nice. Any unmaintained headstones will be trimmed and mowed to the headstone at the Cemetery Caretakers’ discretion. Also, again, GLASS IS NOT ALLOWED. This includes candles. We will begin strictly enforcing this bylaw. We apologize in advance for removing these glass candles. Our cemetery is not the only one that has these strict policies. This is for the safety of everyone who visits and walks on the grounds.
BREAD AND ROLLS: If you’d like to have freshly baked rolls and raisin bread for the holidays, please see Ann Bailly to order. We will bake on December 9 and 10, but only if we have enough orders. Якщо ви хочете свіжоспечені завиванці та хліб з родзинками на свята, будь ласка, зверніться до Енн Бeйлі, щоб зробити замовлення. Ми будемо пекти 9 та 10 грудня, але лише якщо буде достатньо замовлень.
CHURCH DUES: See Liza Garbovska (envelopes) or Michelle O’Neil for checks if you have questions. When you pay your dues, please put your payment in your membership envelope.
ЦЕРКОВНІ ВНЕСКИ: Якщо у вас виникнуть питання, зверніться до Лізи Гарбовської щодо конвертів або до Мішель О’Ніл щодо чеків. Коли ви сплачуєте свої внески, будь ласка, покладіть свій чек або готівку в конверт для членських внесків.
