Holy Week and Easter Update:
Dear parishioners,
According to the guidelines of our Bishop Bohdan and Metropolitan Borys Holy Week services will continue to be celebrated by the priest for the parishioners but without presence of the people, due to the rapid spread of Covid-19. The guidelines for the willows and Easter food blessings are as following:
The faithful can participate in the celebration of Divine Liturgies and the Blessing of Willows and Easter Baskets via live streamed services. The blessing pronounced in our Churches will extend to the respective items in our homes. The prayer of blessings is the key element in these sacramental rituals. The faithful who have Holy water in their homes may sprinkle it on these items while participating in the prayer via internet or by saying the prayers of blessing alone or together as a family or household.
One day soon, we will unite together in Church for worship. Today we unite in spirit.
May God bless you all with His blessings and protect you from all harm.
Happy Birthday to Gemma. May God grant you good health, long life and many happy years.
Glory to Jesus Christ! In preparation for the Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Pascha services, see the Memorandum of the Ukrainian Catholic Bishops in the USA. Please post this information for your parishioners via parish web-sites, social media, bulletins or printed materials.
