GLORY BE TO JESUS CHRIST!
GLORY BE FOREVER!
HOLY SEASON OF GREAT LENT: The Holy Seasonof Great Lent Begins
for us Orthodox Christians on
Monday March 18th. This is a time of preparation for
the feast of the Resurrection of Christ! It is a time of
renewed devotion for fasting, prayer, and alms-giving. It
is a time of repentance a renewal of our minds, hearts,
and deeds in conformity with the teachings of the
church. It is a time when we connect to the greatest of
the commandments of loving God and our neighbor. Let
us find the time to make an effort to attend as many
Church services as we can and approach the Sacrament
of Penance in a meaningful way.
General Confession: General Confession during the
month of March will be held on Sunday March 10th.
This time is different for only the month of March. Our
next General Confession will be held on the first Sunday
of June.

ALL SOULS SATURDAY: The custom of announcing
the names of the deceased during liturgical services can
be traced back to the first century of Christianity. This
venerable custom was transmitted to us by ourancestors as part
of our spiritual heritage. Every year
before Meat-Fare Saturday (March 9th this year)
families give the name of their departed loved ones so
Father John can mention them at the five All Souls
Saturdays held for the deceased. If you would like to
have your deceased family members names read pleasesee Matushka
Ludmila at the candle desk to fill out the
form.
SPECIAL THANKS: Each month we are fortunate to
have a luncheon in our parish home for the benefit of
good Christian fellowship. For our parish this is a way
to break bread together and enjoy each otherscompany. It is also
a way to raise some additional funds
for our parish. The parishioners of Saint Marys would
like to extend our thanks to Joanna Baronowsky who
has each month made a generous donation to support
these dinners so that the church can realize a profit.
We also would like to extend our sincere thanks toSubdeacon
Michael Morvay who purchased all of the
food products for our February Luncheon and to
Matushka Donnalynn and Nadja Schmidt for cooking
and preparing our Tricky Tray. Special Thanks to Joe
