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 March 8, 2026

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

Dear Parishioners,

Years ago, I went to visit a patient at one of our local hospitals. The hospital was under renovation. To get from point A to point B, I had to walk down hallways and take elevators that took me all over the hospital. I eventually found the room. However, during my adventure through the hospital renovation, I came across this sign: Pardon the temporary inconvenience for a permanent improvement.

Now that construction on the social hall and elevator at St. Peter Parish has begun in earnest, I hope that those coming on to the property of St. Peter’s can embrace this mentality. For the next month or so, the Center Ridge Rd. entrance to St. Peter’s will remain closed, except for construction traffic. The driveway will open again after the major field work is done. There will be other times when the driveway will be closed for certain periods of time. Let us do our best to embrace the inconvenience as we make permanent improvements to our property. Remember: use the Root Road entrance!

If you have been in the parking lot of St. Peter’s, you may have noticed some large mounds of stone. The soil near Center Ridge Rd. has been deemed unsuitable for the structure we have designed. To prepare the site, soil will be taken out and stone will be added. We budgeted for some of this work. However, the soil preparation needed will be more extensive than anticipated. Unfortunately, this will cost extra time and money. St. Peter Parishioners: please continue to support this project and join me in invoking the intercession of St. Joseph, patron of workers and the Universal Church.

This Sunday we begin our Joint Parish Mission entitled, Speak Lord. Your servant is listening. Fr. Michael Stalla has served the Diocese of Cleveland in a variety of capacities. He was a parochial vicar at St. Raphael’s in Bay Village, a member of our diocesan Mission Team in El Salvador, pastor of several parishes and a member of the formation team of St. Mary Seminary. I encourage your presence and participation in our mission. You will be blessed!

The day after our mission, I will be giving a presentation on Catholic Funeral Practices. I am not sure how that fits with our mission theme: Speak, Lord. Your servant is listening. And I realize that there are more exciting topics that could be addressed. However, all of us need end of life plans. This presentation will cover “the what and why” of our Catholic Funeral Practices. The presentation will be Wednesday, March 11 at 7:00 PM in the Galilee Room at St. Peter Parish.

On Wednesday, March 4, we had our annual Diocesan Day of Penance. Didn’t make it? Our Joint Parish Penance Service between St. Julie and St. Peter Parishes will be next Sunday, March 15 at 3:00 PM at St. Peter Parish. Six priests will be there to hear your confessions and send you home happy! All are welcome.

In Christ,

Fr. Bob Franco
