PARISH BOARD
*** NEWS ***
At our
parish, we have had a number of happenings. In August, we were
assigned a new Parish Pries, Very Reverend Father Roman Trynoha.
Parishioners greeted him at the Sunday Coffee Hour, where Father
took the opportunity to introduce his family, Dobrodiyka Maria and
their son, Michael.
Many of our
parishioners were present and greeted him warmly. At the
Quarterly Meeting, Father Roman was presented with an icon of our
patron saint, Saint George. Good wishes were extended for
working together and building a strong parish!
_______________________________
We extend our best wishes to our Chairperson, Lena
Awramenko-Seniuk, and to all members of the board that they
may have the most optimum success in their
endeavors as they labour for the
welfare of our parish.
May God keep you all in His presence!
