On Lazarus Saturday we welcomed the newly chrismated servant of Christ- Francis (Nectarios) O' Reilly. Then on Holy Saturday, while we celebrated the glorious open tomb of Christ - we chrismated his son John (Ioan) and his two granddaughters Emma (Ioana) and Layla (Maria.) The godparents are Joe and Maria Puzstay and Melania and Radu Masala and, their son, our altar boy, Matthew.

Are you looking for meatless and dairy-free meal suggestions during Lent?
Our Sunday School teacher, and vegan chef extraordinaire, Linda Soper-Kolton offers her recipe blog to our community. All her recipes are meat- and dairy-free. You can even search for recipies by meal or specific ingredient.
She also has written a new vegan cookbook for the Catskill Sanctuary called "Compassionate Cuisine: The Cookbook" .

Prayers of gratitude flowed on Sunday, September 17 as we surprised Fr George and Psa Marian with a coffee hour on the fourteenth anniversary of his Ordination to the Priesthood. Parish Council president Bob Nicola commented that "we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Fr George and we wouldn't be the community we are if he wasn't here to lead us."
After a chorus of " God Grant You Many Years, " Ladies President Betsy Cipu presented Psa Marian with a bouquet of flowers. Fr. George reminded us "it takes a village and we have to remember to love each other, love the Lord and love this community."
"The people present are the main support of this parish and don't ever give that up. Bring your children, grandchildren and godchildren. Let this parish countinue when we are gone from here and our decendants take over for us."
La Multi Ani and Good Health to Fr George and Psa Marian from a grateful parish.
