Please clean up dry and overgrown vegetation around headstones. Any unmaintained headstones will be cleaned at the cemetery committee’s discretion.

CONFESSION: Every Orthodox Christian must confess during Great Lent to be able to receive Holy Communion at Paschal Liturgy and to be in good spiritual standing as an Orthodox believer. Father Andrii can hear Confessions before or after any Lenten service. The last day for Lenten confessions is this coming Thursday. Please plan accordingly. 

СПОВІДЬ: Кожен православний християнин/ка повинен/а посповідатися під час Великого посту, щоб мати можливість прийняти Святе Причастя на Пасху і бути в доброму духовному стані як православний віруючий. Отець Андрій може вислухати вашу Сповідь до або після будь-якого з Великопісних богослужінь. Останній день, коли ви зможете посповідатися цього Посту, буде ЧЕТВЕР. Будь ласка, сплануйте відповідно!

“Pennies from Heaven” – Each year, our Church School students participate in a Lenten almsgiving activity, “Pennies from Heaven”.  The recipient this year will be the Maple Leaf House, a charity home in the small town of Stoyaniv, in the Lviv region.  It is a caring home for girls ages 6-18.  Some of them are orphans.  Some have parents who cannot take care of them because of alcohol or drug problems, or have been physically abused.  Please see any Church School student to make a donation. This activity will continue through April 19.  We are blessed to have an anonymous donor matching the children’s “Pennies from Heaven” collection this year.
