For both St. Demetrius and St. John The Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Churches
Dear Friends!
This is our Easter Schedule starting on Good Friday (April 19) through Thomas Sunday (April 28). Please join us for our Annual Sviachene on Sunday, April 28th. We will be sharing our Easter Dinner and Agape Meal as ONE HOLY FAMILY (St. Demetrius, St. John’s, and friends together) in celebration of the Resurrection and our Lord’s Victory!
All are welcome!
And there will be a special surprise Easter Egg Hunt for our children!
I, as your spiritual father, wish you all peace and blessings these days when darkness and sorrow turn into glorious light and triumphal joy!
Father Ivan
