Dear Parishioners,
I want that we all have a good relationship among us—especially in our family. The beautiful tradition in the Eastern Catholic Church is the All Souls Saturdays that help us continue that relationship by asking us to pray for our dearly deceased parents, brothers, sisters, children, and all our relatives and friends. The reason for these services is not about money. Instead, I want you to remember what Jesus is teaching us in Matthew 25:40, “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’
Our relatives and friends who have passed away see us and observe us. They can no longer help themselves, but we can help them through our prayers.
Please submit the names of your deceased. There is a Hramoty envelope for you to write the names or submit the names in any envelope.
Please find time to come to pray during the All-Souls Saturday. Many people give names and do not come. Try to attend at least one or two Saturday services.
You can always pray privately for your dearly deceased relatives. Please pray for them, and they will thank you and God will give you His blessings.
Remember that once we pray for our deceased family and friends, they pray for us.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Taras
