Ukraine Welcome Circle - Update

Updated February 2026

January completed the formal support for the Bryiovskyi family. Over these last 2 years, more than 300 people from St Julie’s and St Peter’s donated their, time, talent and treasure enabling the family to become independent.

While they await the decision on their final immigration status, we want to share with you an answer they recently gave for one question on their immigration paperwork. It explains their transition to the US in their own words.

“When we arrived in the USA, something happened that turned our consciousness upside down. Very soon Americans appeared in our life — completely strange people who began to support us. They helped us settle in, brought things, food, money, just supported us with a word. For us, it was a shock. In Ukraine, we were used to expecting only condemnation, envy, or a stone in the back from society. And here, in America, we understood for the first time what true democracy and safety are. We saw what a society is where you are respected regardless of your faith, where people are ready to help, not harm. This contrast showed us that we will never be able to feel at home in Ukraine, where intolerance reigns. “

We were the “Americans” that appeared in their lives. Over the last 2 years we have helped them to create a safe place for themselves and their children.

We are happy to say that the family has successfully achieved independence.

Vitalii continues to work as a truck mechanic and has been promoted to supervisor
Daniel (10 y/o) and Arthur (8 y/o) are doing well in school, participating in many sports and singing in their church choir
Susanna (5 y/o) is in pre-school this year
Nadiia takes care of the household, sings in the choir at church and teaches Sunday school.
A major happiness for them was to welcome their new daughter, Adele into the world this past October!

The Bryiovskyis - “Thanks to everyone for giving us this new life and we love you all very much.”

God Bless all of you!

From the desk of Fr. Bob Franco

from the bulletin for May 3, 2026

The most recent message from Fr. Bob is always available in the bulletin.

Dear Parishioners,

Spring is the season of new life. With the lengthening of days in the norther hemisphere, earth blossoms forth with new growth. This is also the season of Easter. The Church throughout the world encounters Christ in the sacraments of initiation, by which new life is communicated to humanity.

Last week St. Peter Parish had six baptisms, including three from one family to go with the other three children! Also last week, Deacon Del oversaw the pre-baptism class for six families who will soon be bringing their first-born children to the Church for baptism. And just two weeks ago, I baptized and confirmed an intubated woman at the hospital who was courageously battling cancer. Though she lost the battle with cancer (buried May 23), she won the prize of life in Christ!

Last weekend and this weekend our young people welcomed the fullness of New Life by making their First Holy Communion. As I mentioned in last week’s bulletin, the second graders from St. Julie’s made their First Holy Communion at the 11:00 AM Mass on Sunday. The children of St. Peter Parish made their First Communion on Saturday morning, May 2nd. Christ gives us new life and this is most intimately welcomed through his real and true Presence in the Eucharist.

Finally, next week, on Monday, May 11th the youth of St. Peter and St. Julie Parishes will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. We pray that as they become fully initiated Catholics, they will courageously witness to Jesus Christ by their manner of life and unashamed testimony to Him who is Lord.

Last week I participated in a webinar about immigration. The webinar was sponsored by the Bishops of Ohio and Michigan. Presenters included Fr. Daniel Groody CSC, a Holy Cross priest who teaches at the University of Notre Dame and David Spicer, who is the Director of Policy and Engagement in the Secretariat of Migration’s Office of Policy and Advocacy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

This is currently one of the most divisive issues in our country. Immigration affects millions of people in our country and tens of millions of people throughout the world. It is a multi-faceted issue and can be viewed through the lens of faith, sociology, politics and law. Natural tensions arise between people seeking protection and nations desiring secure borders. What is our approach as Catholics?

Perhaps the first thing we need to remember is that immigrants are real people. The dignity of the human person needs to be at the center of any approach to immigration. Jesus Christ, himself an immigrant at one time, raised human nature to a new level of dignity by becoming human.

Second, we need to encourage government leaders to work to fix our immigration system. David Spencer detailed the immigration process and its recent modifications. I think most participants found it immensely confusing. David Spencer added a bit of humor at this point and said something like, “If you are confused, you are like most people serving in Congress.”

Finally, pray for immigrants throughout the world. Often fleeing violence and persecution, they need divine as well as human assistance.

In Christ, Fr. Bob Franco
