LIVE-STREAMING of our church services costs $650/year. We are seeking sponsors to cover the cost. Many thanks go to those who already contributed: Irene Stepanchak – $250, Dr. Joan Kerelejza – $200, Helen Yawin – $100, Julie Breen – $50. Please send your donation to 54 Winter St., New Britain, CT 06051 with the remark “live-streaming”.
MANY THANKS go to Helen Zeleniuk who recently volunteered to vacuum and clean our temple. Many, blessed years, to you Helen!
WE ARE LOOKING for new custodians for the church and property. If you are interested in living rent-free in the rectory’s 3rd-floor apartment in exchange for the services, please let Dr. Paul Szwez or Fr. Andrii know.
МИ ШУКАЄМО нових прибиральників для церкви та території. Якщо вас цікавить безрентовне проживання в квартирі на третьому поверсі ректорії в обмін за послуги, будь ласка, повідомте про це др. Павла Швець або отця Андрія.
БУДЬ ЛАСКА враховуйте, що щорічні внески в розмірі 624 (або $12/тиждень) доларів включають 150 дол., якi ми відправляємо на підтримку Митрополії за кожного члена парафії. В результаті, ми повинні взяти 150 доларів з 624 доларів, залишивши собі лише 474 доларів щоб оплатити парафіяльні витрати за весь рік. Ми будемо дуже вдячні, якщо ви додасьте цю суму (150 дол.) до ваших регулярних внесків. Тоді 774 (або $14.88/тиждень) доларів буде добра сума, як для парафіяльних, так і єпархіальних внесків.
OUR PARISHIONER, Olena Balatsko, and her family are asking for our support as her apartment in Ukraine was recently destroyed. There is a “go fund” page where you can do that: https://gofund.me/7d995198b
НАША ПАРАФІЯНКА, Олена Балацко, і її родина просять підтримки, оскільки їx квартира в Україні була нещодавно зруйнована. Є «go fund» сторінка, де ви можете це зробити: https://gofund.me/7d995198b
LOOKING AHEAD: St. Olga’s Sisterhood will be making potato VARENYKY on Friday, February 27 and Saturday, February 28, starting at 9 AM. Please mark your calendars and plan to come and help.
