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 June 7, 2026

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

Parishioners,

Last Sunday the people of St. Julie and St. Peter Parish processed with the Blessed Sacrament from St. Peter to St. Julie Parish. God blessed our area with a beautiful and breezy 80° to process through our city with Jesus Christ. I heard rumor of one Facebook post that wondered, “Why is there a parade on Center Ridge Road with everyone following a person carrying a Cross?”

We gave testimony to our faith in Jesus Christ and his ongoing Sacramental Real Presence in our midst. I am grateful for the 74 people who participated in our procession and those who joined us at St. Julie Parish for Mid-Afternoon Prayer, Benediction and refreshments. I am also grateful for all who organized the procession as well as the City of North Ridgeville Police Department, who assisted everyone crossing major intersections.

The update of the St. Peter campus continues. New windows were installed in the Parish Center, replacing the original windows (from 1962). Also, lots of cinderblock was laid this week at the construction site. St. Joseph, Patron of Workers, pray for us!

As mentioned in last week’s bulletin, the Cycling Saints will be cycling from Oberlin to Kipton this Sunday afternoon at 2:30. Please meet at the Butternut Ridge Rd. parking area along the North Coast Inland Trail (44342 Butternut Ridge Rd., Oberlin. The ride is about 20 miles. All are welcome.

I will be taking my annual retreat this week from Monday afternoon through Friday afternoon. I will be on the campus of Franciscan University of Steubenville. This is a retreat for priests, deacons and seminarians. The stated goal is: Find Rest in the Lord. Though I have some responsibilities with an organization called Fraternity of Priests (which will be having some meetings during this retreat), pray that I hear the Lord and will be refreshed by His presence.

This is our first foray into Sunday Ordinary Time readings since February 14-15. These texts of Sacred Scripture speak of God’s heart and plan, as well as our part in fulfilling that plan. The Lord’s heart is on display in our gospel: At the sight of the crowds, Jesus’ heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. (Matthew 9:36)

The heart of Jesus is one of compassion for the troubled and abandoned. One way or another, all of us qualify. We need God’s mercy.

In our second reading, St. Paul reminds us how God’s mercy was given to the world: God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

The message of the gospel is the kingdom. God reigns even over sin and death. This Good News needs to be communicated to the whole world.

Jesus did not try to minister to the crowds alone. From his followers he authorized twelve Apostles to continue this mission. They passed on this authority to others.

Through the Church’s ordained ministers and through the gifts of the Spirit given to all the faithful, the Church’s mission continues. May each of us do our part.

In Christ,
Fr. Bob Franco
