IN MEMORY OF OUR MOTHER A mothers love is like a circle, it has no beginning and no ending. It keeps going around and around ever expanding, touching everyone who comes in contact with it. Engulfing them like the mornings mist, warming them like the noontime sun, and covering them like a blanket of evening stars. A mothers love is like a circle, it has no beginning and no ending.

Divine Liturgy will be celebrated on Friday, November 26 at 10:00 a.m., also at the church, with Rev. Fr. Taras Kowch officiating. Interment will follow in the churchyard cemetery.
