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 10, 2026

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

Dear Parishioners,

We need the Holy Spirit.

In the Eastern Church, they have a very simple saying: No Spirit, no Church. Jesus highlighted the necessity of the Holy Spirit in the words Luke records after He rose from the dead:’

Thus it is written that the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And [behold] I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high. (Luke 24:46-49)

Jesus outlined the mission of the Apostles: to preach repentance to all nations. He went on to say: Don’t go anywhere until you receive power from on high. In other words, Be filled with the Holy Spirit first, then go on mission!

Last Monday I met with the parish councils of both parishes. We reviewed those things that our parishes do that bring people to Know Christ (PSR, Day School, The Christ Life Series, Reach More, et cetera), Love Christ (Masses, Confessions, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the Corpus Christi Procession other devotions and prayer groups) and Serve Christ (outreach and crockpot meals, Vincentians and Walking with Moms in Need et cetera). Many of these things our parishes do Together.

We also talked about what kind of initiatives we seek to do in the upcoming year. Amid those discussions, a couple of our council members expressed a desire to encounter the Holy Spirit on a deeper level. This began a discussion about the original “novena”: the time that the Apostles gathered with Mary and others in the Upper Room praying for the coming of the Holy Spirit. The fruit of their prayer is recorded in Acts 2. The Spirit came in power. Peter and the Apostles preached with boldness. 3000 people were baptized that day!

I welcomed this discussion. When we realize our dependence on the Holy Spirit, we are in a good place. For this reason, I adapted a Novena to the Holy Spirit and put in this week’s bulletin. I am asking each person in our parishes to pray this Novena in preparation for the Church’s celebration of Pentecost. It is my hope that, as individuals and as parishes, we experience the power, wisdom and love of the Holy Spirit in new and fresh ways. The Holy Spirit renews individuals, unites communities and equips the Church to fulfill its mission. Come Holy Spirit!

Last Sunday evening, I oversaw Confirmation rehearsal with our young people. I was impressed by the variety of confirmation names chosen by those to be confirmed. They included saints from the New Testament (Mary, the mother of Jesus and Lydia of Thyatira) to modern day saints like St. Carlos Acutis and St. Pier Giorgio Frassati. Pray for them. They will be confirmed by Bishop Woost on Monday, May 11.

Finally let me simply say: HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! Where would we be without our mothers! Let us honor them with profound respect and gratitude!

In Christ,

Fr. Bob Franco
