Reminder
In the upcoming holiday season, as we celebrate with our family
and we remember our loved ones, it is a gesture of Christian charity to light a candle in their memory. During this season, the offering for the vigil candles in the Church that are posted in the
weekly bulletin, may be already taken. We advise parishioners,
who would like to have a vigil candle during the holiday season
to contact the office as soon as possible.
If the vigil candles are not available, you can also light one on
your own on Sundays for $4 or you can get a blessed beeswax
candle for $3 to light at home.
No Officers and Directors meeting is scheduled
for November, 2015.
The society will pray the Jesus Prayer at 8:30 AM this morning

Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8 are “Food for
the Poor Weekend.” Please bring your food donations to the

Any men of the parish who would like to join the Holy Name
Society, please contact any member.
Liturgies for 2016
The new calendar for scheduling Liturgies for 2016 is
already available in the rectory. If you would like to
schedule liturgies for the upcoming year, please contact the rectory on Tuesdays during office hours, or
drop your intentions in the collection basket during
the weekend Liturgies.
As a reminder, please be mindful that scheduling of Liturgies is
done on a first-come, first-served basis. Even though , when Liturgies are scheduled, certain events or circumstances may come
up that will require a change of dates and times. We will contact
you if that ever happens.

and $30 for Divine Liturgy with Panakhyda.

A Time of Thanksgiving
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ:
Our busy October closed with a very successful sweepstakes event for our church roof fund. Thank you to Xenia Becher, the
Sweepstakes Committee, volunteers and the secretaries in the office for your help and dedication to this event.
We also thank Roma Temnycky and her Committee for their time , dedication and hard-work in the organizing the Gala Banquet to raise funds for the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv. It was a very successful event, we thank all who support this cause.
We were honored with the presence of Bishop Borys Gudziak, president of UCU and Bishop Robert Cunningham, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse.
During November, our parish community will experience both joyful and solemn traditions as we move towards the Christmas/Theophany season. These feasts and traditions give us an opportunity to appreciate our heritage and our faith and encourage us to
deepen our prayer life.
During the weekend of November 7 & 8, the Holodomor Memorial Celebration for 2015 will take place in Washington, D.C.
On November 12, we remember St. Josaphat, Bishop and martyr, who was the first Eastern rite saint to be canonized by the Catholic
Church. At these times, we pray for those who have gone to eternal life before us as innocent victims of evil actions.
In November we also begin the Pylypivka (Philip's Fast) to prepare for the Birth of Our Lord. During the period of Pylypivka
we have two opportunities to celebrate. On November 21 we experience the Feast of the Presentation of the Mother of God. The story
of the birth of Christ has already begun! In the United States, we will celebrate Thanksgiving on November 26. This is a familyoriented civic holiday that allows us to think about the blessings we have received and how we can reach out to others who may be less
fortunate than we are. Let us add to this holiday by attending the Divine Liturgy to share our gratitude together as a parish family.
I look forward to seeing you at the Divine Liturgies during these special days and every weekend. Deacon Ed, Deacon Pedro,
Father Volodymyr and I give thanks for being able to serve you and encourage you to participate fully in the holy days and holidays
this month.
Glory to Jesus Christ!
