Dear St. Nicholas Parishioners,

Once again fall is coming upon us. After thissummer break it is time to begin anew ourcatechetical program. Generations of Faith is opento all parishioners and is designed to bring togetherall generations children, parents, grandparents for lifelong learning about our Eastern Catholicfaith.

Last years program consisted of sixinteractive sessions from September through May.Each session focused on a specific feast day,allowing those who participated to betterunderstand the richness and meaning behind our

Byzantine traditions. It prepared the participants toengage more fully during these special days in ourliturgical year. The sessions planned for the 2010 -2011 year are:

Exaltation of the Cross

Sunday, September 12, 2010

Feast of St Nicholas

Sunday, December 12, 2010

Great Fast Presanctified Liturgy

Sunday, March 6, 2011

Ascension

Sunday, May 22, 2011

We invite all, parishioners, their families andfriends to come and learn more about yourByzantine church.

Last years program was very successful andwe hope that this year will bring even more

participants. Maybe some of you who were are partof last years session would want to help with thisyears sessions by volunteering your time and

talents. The program will be offered in English asall materials are currently only available in English.However, we want to expand to fully meet theneeds of our parish and seek Ukrainian-speakingvolunteers so the sessions can be developed andalso offered in Ukrainian. If you are interested inhelping the program, please leave your contacti n f o r m a t i o n a t 7 7 3 - 2 7 6 - 4 5 3 7 o r GOF@stnicholaschicago.org.

As well designed as this program is, we arealways in need of financial support to cover the costof the material needs of our program and ensure itssuccess. If you would like to make a financialdonation, you can drop it off at the Rectory or inthe Sunday collection basket. Financialcontributions can also be made on the parishswebsite www.stnicholaschicago.org via PayPal(please specify that the offering is for thecatechetical program). Through the donations oflast years program we were able to obtain a laptopcomputer, cabinet for its storage and pay forwireless internet service so that our DivineLiturgies on Sundays can be transmitted over theinternet on our parish website for those who may

not be able to attend.

Thank you in advance for your prayers and support,

Yours in Christ,

Rev. Bohdan Nalysnyk
