 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 March 1, 2026

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

Dear Parishioners,

 

Lent is a season of opportunity. Our parishes offer a variety of opportunities to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ. Here are some of them:

  1. Daily Mass: The readings and prayers at daily Mass, and most especially the Eucharist, enlighten, strengthen and deepen our walk with the Lord.

  2. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: St. Peter’s on Tuesdays and St. Julie’s on Wednesdays offer time to be still before the Lord. In our fast-paced culture, silent time in the presence of Christ is refreshing.

  3. Confession: Besides our regularly scheduled opportunities, the Diocesan Wide Evening of Penance is this Wednesday, March 4 from 5:00-8:00 pm in most parishes in our diocese. With the close of Adoration and 5:30 pm Mass at St. Julie’s, confessions will begin closer to 6:15 pm that day. St. Peter’s will be 5:00-8:00 pm. Also, our Joint Communal Penance Service will be at St. Julie Parish on Sunday, March 10 at 3:00 PM.

  4. Liturgy of the Hours: St. Peter prays Morning Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours Monday through Friday at 7:35 am. We join our voices with monasteries, convents, seminaries, priests, deacons and religious throughout the world in praising God and praying for the world. Morning Prayer concludes by 7:50 am.

  5. The Parish Mission: Our joint parish three day mission begins next Sunday, March 8 at 7:00 pm and will conclude on Tuesday, March 8.

  6. Other Opportunities: These include the prayer groups that meet regularly at St. Julie Parish:

    • Wednesday at 1:00 PM for Rosary, Chaplet and other devotions (they meet in church educational wing)

    • Every other Tuesday at 10:00 am in the rectory meeting room and chapel.

  7. Women’s Breakfast: Second Saturday of the Month (alternating parishes)

  8. Men’s Breakfast: Third Saturday of the Month (alternating parishes)

 

Besides devotional opportunities, there are opportunities to support the parish and other works of charity.

  1. Required minimum distribution: Parishioners from both parishes have made sizable gifts to St. Julie and St. Peter Parish through an RMD from their retirement IRA or 401k.

  2. Angel Scholarship Program: This is a painless way of assisting Catholic education. One can give up to $750 (or $1500/couple) to the Catholic educational institution from taxes you have already paid. By simply “giving” your designated amount, you will be credited that amount and receive it back after you file your State of Ohio taxes. This must be done before April 15, 2026 for the 2025 tax year. Please see catholiccommunity.org Support Catholic Education Through Ohio Tax Credits for details.

  3. Rice Bowls and other charities that assist directly with the needy: Catholic Relief Services, which oversees the Rice Bowl program, was founded by our bishops in 1943 and assists the needy in 110 countries throughout the world.

 

The Latin phrase Carpe Diem comes to mind. It means Seize the Day. When opportunities present themselves, we need to latch on to them. The blind beggar Bartimeus was going about his normal routine when he heard that Jesus was passing by. He knew that this was his opportunity. He shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” When others tried to shut him up, he shouted louder. Bartimeus knew this was his moment. He had to seize it. He did and was healed.

 

Do not let Lent pass you by. Seize the day!

 

In Christ,

 

Fr. Bob Franco
