Polkas are back after a long COVID Hiatus. The 38th annual Super Button Box Bash took place on Sunday, April 24, 2022. Musicians, dancers and party goers filled the Slovenian Society Home in Euclid, Ohio. The kitchen completely sold out of smoked Slovenian sausage, roast beef sandwiches and strudel. At the pop-up shop, staff from the Polka Hall of Fame were busy selling souvenir t-shirts, sweatshirts, babushkas and polka CDs. What a great start to 2022.

Dear Parishioners:
The message which the angels brought to the shepherds on that first Christmas night was a message of peace. Christ, the Prince of Peace, came that we might have peace in our hearts and in our homes. Our world has not grasped that sense of peace. We all are so much in need of Christ’s peace and love. Peace must begin within the hearts of each one of us. We must be at peace with ourselves and the world around us. This can come only through a close association with Christ and His Church. This is why we hope all of you will make an extra effort to receive the Sacraments and come to Mass as a family on Christmas. We are certain that if you do, the Spirit of Christmas will abide with you througho”ld’t the whole year. The enclosed schedule is for your convenience. May you have a blessed and Holy Christmas and New Year 2021.
Your Priests & Parish Staff
Dragi Farani,
Veselo sporocilo, ki so ga v pri sveti noci angeli oznanili pastirjem, je bil pozdrav miru. Kristus, knez miru, je prisel na svet, da bi mi imeli mir v svojih srcih in domovih. Svet ni dojel pomena miru. Vsi silno potrebujemo Kristusovega Miru. Mir mora zavladati v nasih srcih. Ziveti moramo v miru sami s seboj in s svetom okrog nas. To se more zgoditi le v tesni povezavi s Kristusom in njegovo Cerkvijo. To je tudi razlog za nase upanje, da boste v teh dneh prejeli zakramente in se kot druzina udelezili bozicnega bogosluzja. Prepricani smo, da, ce to storite, bo svetonocni mir vedno vladal v vasih druzinah! Prilozeni bozicni spored naj Varn sluzi kot opomin na izvrsitev
vasih verskih dolznosti. Vsem faranom zelimo blagoslovljene praznike Gospodovega rojstva in srecno Novo leto 2021.
Vasi duhovniki
