We have been truly blessed with people like you and their love to this place. It is true, as life continues on, the founders of this place have moved on to rest in peace. Many of their children, the stronghold of this place for many years, have stepped into eternity as well. You, me and the other fellow parishioners are here to continue their legacy, to continue to give life to this place of worship under the patronage of Sts. Peter and Paul. Therefore, come and worship with us every Sunday and Feast Day, come and participate at parish social gatherings. Don t be just a visitor on Sundays, be a part of this parish family, be this parish family! We are starting the prep work for the celebration early. Therefore, we ask volunteers to serve on the 110 Anniversary celebration committee. If you are interested to serve on the committee mentioned above, please see me. Fr. Vasyl
