DOCUMENTARY FILM

We invite you to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday and the Jubilee Year of Mercy in a special way – come view the just released documentary film: The Original Image of Divine Mercy.The film will be shown three days: Friday, April 1 and Saturday, April 2 at 7:00pm (in the Upper Hall) and a matinee on Tuesday, April 5, at 5:00pm (in the Lower Hall). The film is in English with some subtitles and approximately two hours long. We are looking for volunteers to help us out in various ways with this project. If you are willing to help, contact Father Bacevice or Julie Zivile Vaitkus.

FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE PARISH

 

On Saturday, April 2, from 11:00 - 12:00 noon, The Lithuanian Cultural Garden Society invites all the grade school age children of the Parish to an Easter egg hunt and program at the Lithuanian Cultural Gardens, 1010 East Blvd in Rockefeller Park. All are invited to participate in this cultural event.

SENIOR SCOUTS

 

The Senior Scouts “Zidinys” invite all parishioners and friends to the Exultate fund raiser “Together in Song” on Saturday, April 23rd, at 7:00pm in our Upper Hall (gym). Tickets are $20 and are available from Terese Urbaitis, tel. 440-442-9091.

 

 Today marks the beginning of the most solemn week of the Church year, Holy Week. During this week, are called to remember and reflect on our Lord Jesus’ days of Suffering, Death and Resurrection.

     All of us are invited to walk with our Lord, from His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His gift of Himself in the Eucharist at the Last Supper, His trial, suffering and death, to His triumph at His Resurrection.

     I invite everyone in the Parish to participate in these special moments in Jesus’ life. To make the time to commemorate these events serves to deepen our appreciation for the gift of salvation, deepen our relationship with Our Lord, and deepen our commitment to be His faithful followers.

   

                                                                          God Bless! Fr. Joe Bacevice

 

OFFERING FOR THE HOLY LAND
 

On Good Friday, March 25th, we will take up a collection to support the Holy Land. Money collected provides support to maintain the sacred places in the Holy Land and provide for the needy living there. Please be generous.

 

BLESSING OF FOOD

 

One of the most beloved traditions of many Eastern European cultures, including our own, is the blessing of food for Easter. We have observed this tradition since we opened at St. Casimir’s seven years ago, but it seems that each year, fewer people are coming for the blessing. This year, we invite everyone in the parish, especially our families with children to experience this annual blessing. Father Bacevice and Deacon Pecek will conduct the blessing on Saturday, March 26th, at 12:00 noon.

 

YOUR EASTER OFFERING

 

Easter has been a traditional time for parishioners to make an extra gift to the Parish, and so we ask everyone to consider a substantial gift to the Parish this Easter. Our income from parishioner donations continues to decrease each year and we are facing some expensive repair projects this summer. So please be generous with your Easter Offering.

 

ALTAR SOCIETY PLANT SALE

 

Spring is here and this weekend our Altar Society begins its Annual Spring Plant Sale. Consider making purchases for your planting needs through the parish this year. The plants are high quality and your purchases support the parish. Order forms and descriptive fliers are available at the entrances to the Church. Orders are being accepted now through Sunday, April 17th. Return your order in the collection basket, drop it off at the rectory or mail it back. Support your parish and beautify your yard. It’s a win – win.
