Happy women and men needed for our Ukrainian Assumption Seniors Club that offers social gatherings for the 55 and over of Ukrainian Assumption Church.  At our monthly meetings we address senior issues with guest speakers from the community.  Three times during the year, the Seniors  sponsor a weekend bus trip to an Atlantic City Casino. This gives them another opportunity for parish seniors to enjoy each other’s company and an enjoyable outing. Seniors extend their loving concern to others as well. When they hear that  members of the club  have experienced sickness or a death in the family, they send cards, notes and make  phone calls of support. They also give donations to worthy ministries and programs in our parish. At the  meeting in September,  Joan Zaleski,  President of the  Ukrainian Assumption Seniors welcomed three new members of the club  and  then all members  offered prayers for the  victims of September 11.  At the end of the meeting  a delicious luncheon was arranged by Eleanor Kataryniak. All senior citizens are invited to join the club.  If anyone is interested in joining, please call Joan Zaleski  or the church office. Simply come on a second Thursday of the month to the church hall  at 12 noon and meet some wonderful new friends and enjoy the company of old friends.

The members of our Holy Name Society wish to thank all our parishioners, friends and Altar Servers  who joined them for the Parish Night Out at the baseball game: Somerset Patriots vs. York Revolution. Great game, all-you-can-eat barbeque buffet and  good fellowship.
