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. Robert Franco

from the bulletin for June 28, 2026

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

Dear Parishioners,

Next Saturday is the Fourth of July. The United States begins a Jubilee Year of sorts, this being the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. To celebrate our nation’s birthday, Mass will be at St. Julie Parish at 9:00 AM on Saturday, July 4th. Both parishes will have confessions and Vigil Masses at the normally scheduled times.

On June 11, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops consecrated our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On that occasion, Archbishop Lori of Baltimore said in his homily:

Why do we do this? Because consecration is an act of faith. It is an acknowledgment that history is not simply the story of what human beings accomplish; it is the story of God’s faithful love at work in the world. We give thanks for the blessings of these past 250 years, but we do so with humility, recognizing in faith that every nation stands in need of God’s mercy, wisdom, and guidance. We consecrate our nation, not because it is perfect, but because it is beloved by God. We entrust to the Heart of Christ our achievements and failures, our hopes and anxiety, our present challenges and our future aspirations. We ask him to heal what is wounded, strengthen what is good, and guide us towards a future marked by justice, peace, freedom, and respect for the dignity of every human person. Let us give thanks to the Lord for our country and ask God’s continued mercies on us.

Bishop Malesic recently issued a letter to pastors regarding the celebration of Mass for the people of a parish by its pastor. The letter reiterated and a portion of Canon Law (#534). This canon explicitly states that the pastor is the celebrate Mass for the people of his parish each Sunday and Holy Day. This is why at both St. Julie and St. Peter Parish there is a Mass “for the people” on each Sunday and Holy Day.

The pastor of the first parish I was assigned to as a priest interpreted Canon #534 in a broad manner. Mass for Sunday and Holy Days was celebrated for the people of the parish by whatever priest as assigned to the Mass. The letter by Bishop Malesic highlighted that the pastor himself is the one obliged to celebrate that Mass.

Bishop Malesic wrote this letter because there are a growing number of pastors in our diocese (me included) who pastor multiple parishes. Canon #534§2 covers this situation. It states that, A pastor who has care of several parishes is obliged to apply only one Mass for all the people entrusted to him on those days mentioned in §1.

Therefore, I will be celebrating one Mass per weekend for the people of St. Peter and St. Julie Parishes, whether I am at St. Peter or St. Julie Parishes. In the coming weeks I will be working with the parish secretaries to make sure I am assigned the Mass for the people of the parish. We may have to adjust some intentions to do this. However, I will personally celebrate Mass for the people of St. Peter and St. Julie Parish each weekend and Holy Day of Obligation.

In Christ,

Fr. Bob Franco
