PILGRIM VOCATION ICON PROGRAM:

“Today we begin our Pilgrim Vocation Icon Program! This program is beginning today in every Byzantine Catholic parish in the United States. Everyone in the parish is invited to pray for and encourage others within the Church that they might respond generously to God’s call in their lives. God relies on generous men and women to minister among us as priests, deacons, monks and nuns. The church needs people like you to pray for and encourage them. Every parish has received an icon specially written for this program- “The Call of the Disciples.” Those who accept the icon agree to pray daily during that time for religious and priestly vocations. Every member of the parish is invited to have icon in their home for a week of special prayer for vocations. Prayer booklets are provided. Please see the sign-up sheet in the vestibule. Please see Fr. Michael for further information.

CANDLES:

The Sanctuary candles will be lit for the entire week for your intentions.

For the week of October 5-11, 2025, the left sanctuary candle is for the health & well-being of all our parishioners from the Chachko family. The right sanctuary candle is for the health & well-being of Tillie Chachko from her family.
