  • After today’s Sunday Divine Liturgy come to St. Mary’s Hall for lots of good food and the parish meeting. There will be a lot to discuss, so come with your ideas and solutions to move the parish forward as we mourn the loss of our dear priest, +Fr. Sid. Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to inspire each of us to take action on our personal journey of theosis that, combined with all the other parishioners, will continue to make our parish thrive and be a good Christian witness to others – all for the glory of God.
  • On Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. Fr. Gregory Bramlige from Cincinnati is coming to our parish for an informal greeting. If you would like to meet Fr. Bramlige, who like Fr. Sid is known for holding healing services, come drop in around 2 on Monday.
  • Wednesday is a simple holy day for the Beheading of John the Baptist. There will be a vigil Divine Liturgy on Tuesday evening at 6 p.m.

This 2-day event for honoring Our Lady of Perpetual Help has the theme “Theotokos, Guide on the Journey of Life.” This ties into Bishop John’s remarks at +Fr. Sid Sidor’s funeral on Saturday, August 18, 2012. We are on the journey of life and we need Mary’s assistance to guide us on the right path to the Source of Life, her Divine Son. The list of services and programs are in St. Mary’s Hall.
  • September 8 is the solemn holy day for the Nativity of the Theotokos. The following week on September 14 is the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, another solemn holy day.

  • The second Ancient Healing Service in August is scheduled this Wednesday the 22nd. +Father Sid initiated this important ministry in our parish. We can honor his memory by continuing his ministry by praying for those who are afflicted with any spiritual, mental or physical ailment! Come pray with us.
  • The next holy day is August 29. It is a simple holy day for the Beheading of John the Baptist. Next week we’ll announce when the feast day will be celebrated with a Divine Liturgy.

 
Thank you
It is a great honor to have known our past priest, +Father Sidney Sidor, who, in the words of Bishop John “took another step on the journey of life” when he passed away from this earthly life on Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Eternal Memory! May we follow +Father Sid’s instructions to seek God always. Let’s ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to accept God’s will to take +Father Sid away from this earthly realm. God has made a better plan. +Father Sid’s job is now to be an intercessor on our behalf. Our job is to be good Christians in word, deed and thought.  +Father Sid has taught us through his celebration of the Divine Liturgy, the distribution of the sacraments, special services, the various classes, the counseling, the healing, and the stories that he shared. May we graciously follow his example to actively pray, help others and follow the path to theosis.
 
The parish family wishes the best for +Father Sid’s children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We thank Bishop John, the priests, deacons and all others who have assisted the parish with +Father Sid’s funeral and celebration of his life. We also thank Father Michael Evanick for celebrating the Divine Liturgy with us today. May God grant all many happy and blessed years.

  • The Dormition Fast continues for a few more days. It concludes on the eve of Tuesday, August 14. Use these final days to exercise discipline on your choices of food and actions. Pray more and give alms to the poor. The traditional rule is a strict abstinence with mitigations for Saturday & Sunday and the feast of the Transfiguration. The Ruthenian Metropolia has identified this period as a penitential season (Canon 880, § 2). This fast may be observed voluntarily.
  • This Wednesday, August 15, we commemorate the Dormition of the Theotokos. It is a holy day of obligation. Bishop John Kudrick is celebrating the Divine Liturgy Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. On the feast day we bless flowers (because sweet-smelling flowers were discovered in her tomb after her body was taken into heaven). Over time, medicinal seeds and herbs were also blessed in commemoration of the many healings and blessings bestowed upon the pilgrims at Mary’s tomb.
  • The second Ancient Healing Service in August is scheduled for Wednesday the 22nd. More people continue to find us on the internet. It is the Holy Spirit guiding them to our website. Fr. Sid initiated this important ministry in our parish. It may have taken awhile but we’re starting to see the fruits of Fr Sid’s and the healing team members’ persistence. Praise God!

 
Prayer List
Please remember in your daily prayers Fr. Sid who is not able to celebrate Divine Liturgy today. He is currently residing at Hooverwood Indpls Jewish Home.  Also remember those in the parish, our prayer list and other friends who are in need. May God wrap His loving and healing arms around all and shed His brilliant light on the path He desires for us. May we graciously follow that path with unwavering faith.
Congratulations
Cody Romero-Stanton is heading out for Army training on Monday. Come to St. Mary’s Hall following today’s Service to say farewell and good luck to Cody. May God keep Cody safe and grant him many happy and blessed years!

Prayer List
Please remember in your daily prayers Fr. Sid who is recovering from a bout with jaundice. We express out gratitude to Fr. Dennis Hrubiak who is celebrating Divine Liturgy today. Fr. Hrubiak traveled from Cleveland so we thank him for coming such a distance to be with us. May God grant him many years!
Also remember those in the parish that are sick, out of work or in need. Many God grant His abundant blessings upon them according to His will. Thank you God for all you have bestowed upon us. May we sing your praises forever.

  • Spiritual Compassion Session for Cancer Families is a new ministry that will start in August. Two sessions per month will be held on the First & third Wednesdays of the month.
  • St. Elijah’s feast day is Friday, July 20th. St. Elijah the Holy Prophet lived an exemplary life.   It is tradition that he was in direct communication with God and knew exactly what to do on this earth.  It is through the denial of the temporal world that St. Elijah received the Spiritual Gifts from God to bring a dead boy back to life, to defeat the priests who worshipped Baal and ultimately escaped his death and torture while at the same time choosing his successor when he and his chariot were taken to heaven. Vehicles are blessed on his feast day in commemoration of this event.
  • ByzanTEEN Mission Trip – The Eparchy of Parma is partnering with YouthWorks to sponsor a mission trip to Logan County, West Virginia for those ages 13-18. The trip will start on Saturday, July 28 at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Parma, OH and return there on Sunday August 5, 2012.
