As you drive by our parish cemetery on Florida Grove Road, the repaired and newly painted fence will catch your eye.  This was accomplished through the efforts of several Holy Name Society members.

While Charlie Boyko, Ron Rosato, and Mike Lawrence used a traditional paint brush, Pete Baralecki, Tom Dochych, Ralph Iacuzio, John Adamshick,  and Anton Massopust used a new painting technique thought up by Pete. They used their hands, first covered by a rubber glove, over which they put an old sock, and then dipped the sock in paint.  Also helping was Holy Name member in training, Andrew Baralecki, fourth grade son of Pete. The fence project took two Saturdays of scraping, welding, and painting. Job well done, Holy Name members!

Sixteen children of the Assumption School and Parish had First Confession on Friday, May 6, and received First Solemn Holy Communion on Saturday , May 7, 2011. Our sincerest congratulations and best wishes are extended to:  Kayla, Anali, Jayden, Julie, Vinnie, Andrew, Jasmyn, Daisy, Donovan, Kevin, Joseph, Mia, Matthew, Melasia, Vincent and Sofia. We are grateful to all who have assisted these children on their journey of faith. The list includes but is not limited to, their parents, godparents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, school principal, teachers and this year's catechist  Sr. Maria, MSMG.  Thank you for helping to prepare our children for the greatest gift they will ever receive. We can only hope and pray that their parents will provide the opportunities for their children to continue to receive the Holy Eucharist at weekly  Liturgy (Mass).

Христос Воскрес!
Цього року, весь християнський люд, незалежно від конфесії, святкував Христове Воскресіння разом. Тож і українська спільнота у Перт Ембой у цей день мала нагоду відсвяткувати Великдень за своїми національними звичаями. У нашій  церкві відбулась урочиста Літургія на яку як кажуть багато старших парафіян зібралося найбільше парафіян за всі року святкування Пасхи.  Після Служби Божої, о. Іваном були посвячені кошики з пасками, а також покроплені свяченою водою всі присутні. Так, як це завжди буває у нас вдома, в Україні. Наступної Неділі,  усі вірні після Літургії отримали Артос (посвячений хліб)  а пізніше, у церковній залі відбувся Спільний Пасхальний  Обіду (Свячене), де за спільним частуванням свяченим і спілкуванням у дружній атмосфері, 120 парафіян і гостей  гарно провели час. Щира подяка Сестрицтву Парафії та  усім за жертовну допомогу і віддану працю  у приготуванні Спільного Пасхального Обіду

Our Parish Sviachene ( Easter Dinner)  was held last  Sunday in a beautifully decorated parish hall with 125 people in attendance. A sincere thank you to the ladies from St. Ann Society and many others volunteers for preparing the delicious Sviachene meal and to those who helped make the dinner a success. We certainly appreciate all the gifts donations, food and most of all the wonderful dedicated helpers who gave their time and energy to make this occasion a success. We hope all who attended enjoyed the day and we were truly happy to see all who attended to make this affair possible. Everyone’s presence contributed to making a joyful celebration of Our Lord’s Resurrection.
