Mark Your Calendar

The annual Parish Appreciation Picnic is coming up on Sunday, June 10, after liturgy on our front lawn. Change into your casual clothes after church so you can relax and participate in the fun afternoon! Lunch is a catered barbeque with delicious picnic foods that are ready to eat. There is no charge, nor anything to bring. The picnic is in appreciation of all the work done by parishioners throughout the year. Plan to be there and enjoy the food, games, musical entertainment, and each other.

Also, the award for volunteer of the year will be given at the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy.

Flood

There was a special collection taken on Sunday, May 13, during the Divine Liturgy to help provide aid to the parishes, which sustained damage from the recent flooding in New Jersey.

Your donations will be added with those of our other diocesan parishes to provide needed aid to these Churches.
