EXCITING NEWS! Our Parish Committee had determined that it is time for our new pictorial church directory. The last one was done eight years ago in year 2001.

Our dates for photography will be: October 27-28-29, 2009. We need more volunteers in addition to Edward Obssuth, Maria Makos, Hughie Vickerilla, and Richard Daum, to help us with the sign-up process for our families. Please contact Edward Obssuth 973-472-7839 or Fr. Joseph 973-256-4888 to volunteer to be a part of this project.

Our parish chose Universal Church Directories of Mansfield, Ohio to produce new church directory. The company has 63+ years of leadership and experience and is committed to making this the best directory experience our church has ever had. Each family photographed for a directory receives a complimentary 8×10 portrait and a free directory. This is our gift to the family to thank them for participating.

There is no cost or obligation to purchase anything.

We do finance the program through the sale of portraits, with the thought in mind that most families have not had a professional portrait done in a number of years, and will want to purchase portraits. But, there is NO PRESSURE to purchase portraits.

Rectory expansion and accessibility projects

Great news -– Our Rectory expansion is completed.

The rectory was painted by Dominick Bucci, Brian Bucci, Lenny Hrinuk, Fr. Joseph, Mrs. Renata, Michael and Natalie Cyman to save on the cost of the labor.

The entrance door to the parish hall has been accommodated for handicap accessibility. The step was eliminated by placing a new concrete ramp. Our parish hall is now handicap accessible. Moving any furniture or items to the parish hall is also much easier.

The front patio was completed. We thank for all received to date donations. Any donation of $1,000.00 or more entitle donor(s) to have an engraved brick paver at the sidewalk in front of the rectory.

Fr. Joseph and his family donated and planted new shrubs, covered the cost of soil and seeds for the landscaping in front of the rectory. This donation was made in memory of his mother, Agnieszka and brother, Andrew Cyman.

On Sunday November 15, 2009 we will host Rt. Rev. Dr. Anthony Mikovsky the Bishop of the Central Diocese. On that Sunday there will be one Mass celebrated at 11:00 A.M. fallowed by the blessing of the addition. The reception will take place in the parish hall. The buffet dinner style will be provided and sponsored by the Cyman Family as a token of appreciation for an accomplished project. All are invited to attend this event with the opportunity to meet Bishop Anthony. Please write the name of your family and number of people attending on the sign up list located in the parish hall. Thank you.
