WE SUPPORT UKRAINE – MARCH 5th

Please come to 9 a.m. Mass tomorrow to pray for Ukraine. We need to show our children that, although weapons are necessary to fight evil, our prayers are equally important.

Elizabeth Zakharkiv , our guest from the Las Angeles Ukrainian Art Center, will be visiting at 12 pm. She will speak to our students about the events in war-torn Ukraine.You are most welcome to come and listen to her talk.The Center is preparing a huge planeload of supplies. At 12:40 we will congregate on the church steps with our posters and flags in support of Ukraine. PLEASE, PLEASE make a poster and join us in this symbolic gesture of solidarity.

The Lithuanian-American Community,Inc. is collecting monetary donations to be sent directly where needed. Lithuania is very involved in welcoming those fleeing the war, mostly women and children. They need housing, clothing, food. Students need to get back to school .

PEOPLE HAVE A SHORT ATTENTION SPAN. IT IS UP TO US TO KEEP THE UKRAINIAN TRAGEDY IN THE FOREFRONT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, IN LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGNS , AND IN THE DISSEMINATION OF ACCURATE INFORMATION.

LITHUANIANS KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO LOSE FREEDOM AND TO FLEE YOUR NATIVE LAND.

Looking forward to seeing all of you tomorrow.
