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 June 7, 2026

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

Dear Parishioners,

Deacon Ken DeLuca was laid to rest on Tuesday, June 2nd. The hundreds of people who participated in the liturgies and paid their respects testifies to the impact he had on our community. Again, I encourage you to remember him in your prayers. Also pray for Jan his wife, as well as his children Jefferson, Nicole and David, and their grandchildren.

I also want to express a word of thanks to Beth Paoloni and Mary Pokrywka, prepared the programs and led the music for Deacon Ken’s Vesper Service and Funeral Mass.

Reminders:

This is the 2026 Catholic Charities follow-up weekend. If you have not participated in this year’s campaign, please do so today. Your generosity will be a blessing to many people.
This Sunday is our annual Eucharistic Procession from St. Peter Parish to St. Julie Parish. If you are unable to walk this 2.1 mile route, please meet the procession at St. Julie church at 2:15 PM for prayer and fellowship. Busses will bring participants from St. Julie’s back to St. Peter’s.

Last week I expressed my gratitude for our gardening teams. Both St. Peter and St. Julie Parishes can use a few more people to assist. One neglected area at St. Peter Parish is front of the school. The St. Peter team is planning on getting to it. However, more helpers are welcome. At St. Julie Parish, two of the Julie Land gardens (The Cross and the Sacred Heart areas) need individuals or families to adopt and care for these areas. If you want to assist, please call me or leave a message for me at the office. Thanks.

The Cycling Saints began last Sunday. Three of us bike almost 16 miles on flat bike paths in the Cleveland MetroPark system. Our next venture will be a flat ride from the Butternut Ridge Rd. parking area along the North Coast Inland Trail (44342 Butternut Ridge Rd., Oberlin). This trip goes through Oberlin and Kipton and back. It is also flat. The cycling will begin on Sunday, June 14 at 2:30 PM. Round trip is about 20 miles. All are welcome.

I am grateful for all who made the Cruise-In, Car and Driver Blessing Ice Cream Social a fun evening on Friday, May 29 at St. Peter Parish, I am especially grateful for Bill Janesz (who rounded up cars for the Cruise-In), Sharon Zacharias (who provided the sound system), Cheryle Koberna, who provided the song sheets and the team of Maggie Finney and Jackie Madisen, who scooped ice cream! The weather was perfect and a good time was had by all.

Security Teams at both parishes continue to meet. May God direct our efforts to provide a safer, more secure environment for our parishioners.

Late last week Gloria Smith, a parishioner at St. Peter Parish, sent me a link to a one-hour documentary video on the life of Pope Leo XIV. It is very well done. It is on-line and free to all at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYzssRwE7Gg&authuser=0 Also, Pope Leo XIV recently published an Encyclical on AI entitled, Magnificat Humanitas. It focuses on safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence. It can be accessed at Vatican.va.

In Christ,

Fr. Bob Franco
