PLASHCHANYCIA (HOLY SHROUD): A new Plashchanycia has been purchased for our Church. This Shroud was made possible by Mrs. Florence Kloap and family with the donations she received in memory of her husband Mr. William Kloap by her family and friends. It is a beautiful painting on Canvas by an artist in Ukraine and brought to us by Rev. Vasyl Repela when he visited the USA in December. Father Roman will have the blessing of the Plashchanycia on the Saturday of Palm Sunday, April 4th, after the 4:00 PM Divine Liturgy. A cabinet to place the Shroud into after it is removed from the Altar after the Easter Season is being built by Holoviak’s in Berwick. This Cabinet is made possible by the generous donation of Catherine & Charles Halloway and the donation made to our Building Fund in memory of Peter Hubiak, John Smiga, Jr. and Frank T. Wido.
