    2. Fall Parish Picnic - Save the Date! Please join us for our annual Fall Picnic on Sunday, October 19, 2025. The day will begin with a combined Russian/English service, and maybe even Korean, followed by a picnic on the church grounds. More details to follow!
    3. Join Our Ministries: Parish Council and Catechists: The Parish Priest invites all interested parishioners to consider joining the Parish Council to support the activities and smooth functioning of our parish. Please speak with Fr. Michal to learn more. We are also looking for volunteers to serve as catechists for our children on Sunday mornings. If you feel called to this rewarding ministry, please speak with Fr. Michal after Mass.
    4. New Sound System Project: The Parish Council has received a proposal to install a new, high-quality sound system specifically for our church. The total project cost is approximately $30,000. We are grateful to those who have already contributed; to date, we have raised $500. We kindly ask for your support to make this important improvement a reality. Anyone interested in contributing can discuss the project with Fr. Michal or Andrew.
    5. Mass Intentions: Mass intention envelopes are available at the entrance of the Chapel and the Church, or from any Parish Council member. Please complete all details (your intentions, contact information, etc.) and enclose your love offering (e.g. $10 or more up to you). Seal the envelope and return it to Fr. Michal or a council member.
    6. A Note on Charity: Please refrain from giving money to individuals begging outside the church. The Sisters associated with our parish are in direct contact with those in need to provide structured and meaningful assistance.
    7. Monthly Blessings for Birthdays and Anniversaries: Beginning this October, we will introduce a special blessing for all those celebrating birthdays, wedding anniversaries, or other significant family milestones during the month. This blessing will be offered on the first Sunday of each month. If you or a family member have an occasion to celebrate, we warmly invite you to come forward for this prayer of gratitude and blessing.

    Thank you for your continued support and participation in our parish community.
