    Parish Reminders

    • First Holy Communion: This year’s First Holy Communion will take place during the 10:00 AM Mass on May 24, 2026. This date also marks the end of our catechetical year. Following the Mass, we cordially invite all parishioners—especially children and their parents—to a reception outside the church. Please note that there will be no parish picnic this May; instead, we will celebrate with a party for the children to mark their First Communion and the end of classes. Please keep all the children in your prayers.
    • Summer Schedule: From June 7 until the end of August, Holy Mass on Sundays will be celebrated at 9:00 in English and at 11:00 in Russian. Please note there will be no Friday Masses during the summer period.
    • Mass Intentions: Envelopes for Mass intentions are available at the entrances of the chapel and the church. Please provide all necessary details along with your offering ($10 per intention), seal the envelope, and return it to Fr. Michal or the Sacristy.
