I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen. OUR MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP SOCIETY Our Mother of Perpetual Help Society (OMPHS) was organized 30 years ago by then Pastor Father Teodore Humanitzki and parishioner Mary Felack. The goal of OMPHS as written in the original by-laws is “The Society is to maintain contact and remember the parishioners of St. Nicholas Church who are sick or homebound.” Since 1990, members of OMPHS have worked diligently to meet this goal. Activities of OMPHS provided to the sick, home bound and nursing home residents include: in-person visits when conditions allow; sending cards for birthdays, special holidays and simply to let our parishioners know they are in our prayers and thoughts; making phone calls; celebrating with a small party for 90th and 100th birthdays for all parishioners; annually sponsoring a Liturgy, and when possible, a birthday luncheon for all members of the parish who are at least 90 years old in the calendar year; providing small gifts at Christmas and Easter; Christmas caroling and offering Liturgy during the Christmas Season and at Easter; and any other way of remembering and maintaining contact with sick or home bound parishioners of the St Nicholas parish. Anyone, young or old, wanting to be involved in this ministry is welcome to join to send cards, make phone calls or make in person visits. For more information, please contact Donna Getman at 518 315 7924 or Rose Mary Wargo at 518 951 5295. 1.

Thank you from Joseph’s House & Shelter - … I wanted to thank your community for the consecutive support you have given to our Shelter. I am contacting to you today to not only thank you but to ask if there is any way you can do a drive for personal care items for our families at the Shelter. Our families requested if I can find them items like shampoo, body wash, baby wipes, and deodorant. Without your previous donations of items like these our families would have an extremely tough time keeping up with their hygiene needs. On behalf of myself and Joseph's House we want to thank your parish for all of your help in the past and I look forward to hearing from you soon. 10. BAPTISMS - Holy Mysteries (Sacraments) of Initiation are normally administered on the Sunday nearest to the 40th day after the birth of the child. Father or Deacon will conduct a special baptismal preparation session. This session is for all expectant parents, the Godparents and possibly grand-parents. Parents must be registered and active members of the parish. It is normal that a saint’s name be chosen for the child. ELIGIBILITY FOR GODPARENT - One sponsor must be a practicing Catholic, attend Liturgy regularly, receive the Sacraments and fulfill all obligations and financial support to their parish, attested to by their pastor. We the community of St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church are of Eastern rite and Byzantine tradition. We are committed to sharing our faith, tradition, and God's Light by embracing & living out God's two greatest commandments: a) love God with all your heart, soul, and mind b) love your neighbor as yourself, Our church embodies the Ukrainian spirit, culture, & heritage while welcoming all races, ethnicities, & nationalities. 1.
