This is the same as our popular "Living Our Faith" Series held on Thursday morning but designed for those who work or have committments during the day.
It is with both gratitude and heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Joe, Maria, and Justin Puzstay as they prepare to move on from our parish community. Their presence among us has been a true blessing—through their kindness, their service, and their quiet witness to Christ’s love.
Whether through fellowship, worship, or simple everyday moments, they each left a mark on our hearts and in the life of this community. While we will miss them greatly, we send them forth with our deepest prayers and warmest wishes.
May God bless them abundantly in all of their future endeavors. May their new paths be filled with peace, joy, and many opportunities to continue growing in faith and love.
Please keep them in your prayers as we know they have us in their prayers always.
The Grand Opening of our new library and museum was a truly special day for the Society Farsharotu - we were warmly greeted and thanked by our many visitors for our work on behalf of the Aromanian/Vlach community in the US.
One guest was surprised to find a rare book in our library that has been out of print for decades and is considered a jewel by many Aromanians: Τα Τραγουδια των Βλαχων/The Songs of the Vlachs by the late Zoe Papazisi-Papatheodorou.
Others were surprised and happy to see photos of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents going back to 1903. It was an exhilirating day for all!
Visits are now available by appointment only, our web site has information on scheduling a visit.
Come and meet us -- we hope to see you soon!
