The annual Sviachene, a traditional Easter Dinner, was held on Sunday, April 18, 2010 following a 10 AM Divine Liturgy.
 
To celebrate The Year of the Priest, two seminarians were invited to speak about their vocations during the Divine Liturgy homily. Deacon Paul J. Makar spoke in English and seminarian Andriy Krip spoke in Ukrainian. At the closing of the Divine Liturgy, new vestments for Deacon Paul J. Makar were specially blessed.
 
After the Liturgy, the Sviachene was held in the church hall with approximately 130 parishioners and friends in attendance. The dinner consisted of traditional Easter foods, such as ham, kobasa, eggs, paska, cold salads, beets with horseradish, etc.
 
This is always a wonderful opportunity to share Sviachene together as one large parish family.
