Announcements
Archbishop Basil
Our Beloved Metropolitan Archbishop Basil Myron Schott, O.F.M. fell asleep in the Lord on Thursday, June 10. He was our Eparchy’s bishop prior to be elevated to the Metropolitan Archbishop position and had visited Indianapolis on a few occasions. In addition to requesting that the Divine Liturgy be offered for his intention at our parish, you may donate to a special memorial to Metropolitan Basil. The upcoming Eparchial Exhibit for the Strengthening of Marriage will be dedicated to his memory. Please send memorial donations to the Eparchy of Parma, 1900 Carlton Rd., Parma, OH 44134. The Eparchy will acknowledge the gifts; the Schott family and the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh will be informed of them, as well
June Healing Service
The Healing Service is scheduled this Wednesday, June 16. Come and get healed. God wants all of us to be healed through the Holy Spirit. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” John 3:2    “… for I am the Lord your God who heals you.” Exodus 15:26

Thanks to all who helped make the baked goods this week: Cyndi H., Al Z., Danny E., Harry & Cherie K., Courtney, Joe K., Bill F., Richard M, John S., Bertha. We made 87 rolls, chocolate logs, herbal bread, and kolachy. Everyone had great fun. The markets were covered this weekend by Joe K., Danny E., Cyndi H., Paul S. Now that we’ve added the Stadium Village Farmers Market on Tuesdays we need more bake goods and marketers. Let the rectory know when you’re available to help. This is a great way to share your talent and time for both evangelization and helping the parish meet its financial responsibilities. Remember to tithe in addition to helping out. Thank you for being a dedicated parishioner here at St. Athanasius Church!

Upcoming Events
On Saturday, June 19 and Sunday, June 20 the Eparchial family will gather for the 1^st Midwest Region Family Otpust. It is being held at St. Michael’s Church in Merrillville, IN – about 2.5 hours northwest of Indy. There will be plenty of opportunities for fellowship, prayer, faith formation, and entertainment, and every person will find something that will inspire. For a preview of the festivities we encourage you to talk to John Danovich and also look at the flyer posted in St. Mary’s Hall or follow this link http://parma.org/family_otpust__cleveland.htm. Parish displays are available on Saturday afternoon. If you’re interested in participating in a parish display we need to know by June 7^th.
Fund Raising
A group is baking in St. Mary’s Hall on Thursday, June 3rd – both parishioners and friends of the parish alike. If you have a day job we still need your help at the end of the day to assist in wrapping the bake goods (and help eat some samples.) Come join us. All are welcome.
June and graduations go together. Please buy some scrip (gift cards or certificates) from the parish and give them as a gift to your graduate. A gift card gives your family member or friend great flexibility in purchasing something they really want; and you don’t have to shop for it. Of course – buy gas, grocery & pharmacy cards for yourself. We’ll be ordering more scrip cards soon so let us know where you shop.

Maintenance Tasks
Thanks to all who participated in the Saturday work day, May 22^nd: Kupec family, John S., Marge H., Max B. It was a beautiful day. They sprayed for weeds & bugs, built a tool crib in the storage building, sided the front south side of the storage building, cleaned the hall and more! John & Katie R. decorated the church for Pentecost. On the next work day (to be announced) come & be part of the team.
Request for help
We need assistance helping our not-so-fortunate brothers and sisters in Christ. There has been more requests for food, help with payment of utility bills, etc. coming to our church. Please pray about donations of food, scrip to buy food, or money to help those in need. Take action as the Holy Spirit directs you.
Fund Raising
With graduation ceremonies upon us you can buy some scrip from the parish and give them as a gift to your graduate. There’s a wide selection of cards and certificates available so you’re sure to find something they can use. Of course – buy gas, grocery & pharmacy cards for yourself. We all use these retailers.
Thanks go to those who helped Thursday with baking: Al Z., Danny E., Richard M and John D. The bake day is not exclusively a men’s club – the women are invited too 😉  Kudos also goes to Glen G. and his niece, Anne for selling our baked goods at the Carmel and Binford markets on Saturday, May 22nd. We will need help Saturday mornings at the markets throughout the summer. John will be away to his niece’s graduation on June 6, so we need someone to run the Carmel market on that day. Please sign up. There’s another market called Stadium Village Market across from Shapiro’s on South Meridian. We plan to make a presence there too on Tuesday afternoons from 3:30 – 7 PM starting on June 1^st.

Maintenance Tasks
Thanks to Max B. who replaced the main entry door on St. Mary’s hall on Saturday and Joe K. who filled the school building’s window wells with the remaining dirt off the parking lot. What a great job!

Food Pantry
The supplies are very low. Please donate non-perishable food or hygiene items, money or scrip. Thanks.

Fund raising
Thank you to Cyndi H., Julia B., Rita O. who worked with John to bake rolls, pumpkin logs, and kifli on May 6^th. Also thanks to Bill F. and any others that helped prepare the hall for baking last week. On Saturday, May 8^th the weather was windy, overcast and cool. We sold $146 in baked goods at the 62^nd St & Binford Blvd. Farmers Market. Thanks to Danny E. who helped at the market. Sign up today to help this upcoming Saturday. We need your help to make sure that we have marketers each Saturday during the summer at either the Binford location or the Carmel Farmers Market. Look for a sign-up sheet in St. Mary’s Hall.
Pick up some scrip (gift cards) today. There’s a very wide selection cards to choose from. A few suggestions: use them for Mother’s Day (Today!), birthdays, and graduations.
Maintenance Tasks
Thanks to Max B. who replaced the failed door lock on St. Mary’s hall on Thursday. He did it with the speed of Mercury on the same day we had an emergency liturgy for Tom Prkye and the bake day.  Pick out a few items on the posted lists on the hall, recruit your own helpers and assist us in whittling the list down.

Happy Feast Day St Athanasius
St. Athanasius’ feast day is today, May 2nd.  We will have a pitch-in brunch after liturgy to celebrate. Please stay and celebrate with us – regardless whether you brought something or not. This past Tuesday we commemorated our 30^th year since the parish’s first liturgy. Happy Feast Day and Happy Anniversary!
Thank you
Hilda (lives on the south side of the Russell family – 2 houses to the right of the church) & her friends from the neighborhood donated their time and energy mowing the lawn around the church, hall, rectory, storage building and school. It was a multi-day process with the riding and push mowers and a weed whacker. Please take the time to personally thank them. Maybe you’d like to buy a gift card for them (see below.)

Fund raising
Pick up some scrip (gift cards) today. If you don’t see John D. with them, just ask. We have a very wide selection of gas, grocery, health & beauty, fast foods, restaurant, department and book store cards to choose from. If you don’t have the money with you today, make sure you reserve some to pick up within the next week. Mother’s Day, birthdays, graduations are just around the corner. We need food pantry supplies too.
Thursday, May 6^th we need your help with baking our famous nut rolls & other treats. If you didn’t see the Parish Event email (sent on 4/28) or have never helped before, ask John for the details. Invite your friends to learn how to make our various flavored rolls, pumpkin logs, possibly kolachy, kifli or angel wings. We’re flexible to adjust to what people are interested in. The parish also needs your help selling the baked treats at the 1^st market this Saturday at 62^nd St & Binford. Soon we’ll need help each Saturday during the summer at either the Binford location or the Carmel Farmers Market (our 10^th year, so we have a good customer base.)

30 years
St. Athanasius’ feast day is May 2nd.  We will have a pitch-in brunch after liturgy to celebrate our parish’s patron feast. And this week is the 30^th year commemoration of the parish’s first Divine Liturgy on Tuesday, April 27^th. On Tuesday the liturgy is at 9 a.m., or you can come earlier to the Office of the 1^st Hour being celebrated at 7 a.m. Please remember your parish in you daily prayers, especially during this week. Thank God that we’ve been blessed with a parish established 3 decades ago that continues to be the Light of the East here in central Indiana. Praise Him that He allows us to come together to express our gratitude to Him in the beautiful St. John Chrysostom Divine Liturgy of the Eastern Rite each week. We thank God for our Bishop John Kudrick, Fr. Sid Sidor and the past bishops and pastor/administrators who’ve all played a part in our parish’s history. And thanks to all the founding families and those who’ve been parishioners, whether for a few decades or a few months. Continue to encourage others to seek out and explore the hidden gem of Catholic Christianity right here at St. Athanasius the Great Byzantine Catholic Church. Don’t limit yourself to Divine Liturgy on Sundays. Make an effort to attend other services and events that will help all of us deepen our spiritual faith, evangelize, and become a caring community for one another. God grant us many years, for Christ is Risen!
Thank you
A 2nd collection will be taken 1) for buying a new garbage disposal for the rectory, 2) assist purchasing items for the food pantry, and 3) to pay remainder on the church furnaces. Thank you for your generosity.

Fund raising
The farmers markets will be starting soon (Binford begins on May 8th.)  Plan now to help Thursday, May 6^th for baking our famous nut rolls. The parish also needs your help selling on Saturdays during the summer.

Healing Testimonials
“I praise and thank God, our Almighty Father for you through which your healing service and my dearest friend Natasha’s standing in proxy for me.  Today the additional x-rays showed no mass and I did not need the ultrasound.”   June B.
…“ I want to thank you and the parish family of St. Athanasius, and especially Fr. Sid, for making St. Athanasius an oasis in our journey, a special home for our family for six months that we were in Indy.  I also would like to thank Fr. Sid for anointing me and curing my arthritic thumb joint and anointing our son Justin whose heart is perfect now!”  Dr. Eric, D. O.
“To make a long story short, from that time to the present, my tumor growth has stopped as measured by the drop in my PSA – done quarterly.  (Also, as part of this miracle, my bone lesions have disappeared)…”    Bill P.  M.D.
“I sincerely wish to give praise and honor to God for my healing, but also to Fr. Sid who was the facilitator of God’s healing energy to be channeled to me through the Paraklis Service.”   Bruce  W.
The next healing service is May 12^th. Mark the 2^nd Wednesday of every month on your calendar. Jesus heals!

St. George’s feast day is April 23^rd. It’s a simple holy day on our liturgical calendar. Please put April 23^rd aside for attending Divine Liturgy to celebrate the feast. St. George, the glorious Great Martyr and wonderworker, refused to sacrifice to the pagan gods, was tortured and beheaded at Nicomedia in Asia Minor.  He was martyred in the reign of Diocletian, about A.D. 296. In our iconography St. George is commonly depicted as a soldier riding a horse and slaying a dragon.
Maintenance Update
Joe Kupec, Al Zetsel & grandsons, Bradley & Alex delivered sand, reattached gutter & down spouts, repaired the wooden fence, moved fill dirt into window wells on the old school building and mowed the majority of the grass this week. Please check the bulletin board in St. Mary’s Hall to see the remaining projects. Be part of the team making the list dwindle. It’s another way you can joyously use your God-given talents back to our parish for the glory of God.
