Welcome
Come into this Church.
Bring all you are, no need to check your failures at the door.
There are no perfect people here.
You are invited:come.
Come in seeking; come in wondering; come in hurting.
Come into this house of worship, companionship, and compassion.
Come in. You are welcome here.
Ss. Cyril and Methodius Church opens its door to you
and in the name of Christ, our Lord, bids you welcome.
Vibrant Parish Prayer
O Lord Jesus Christ, our Good
Shepherd, as you
once gathered lost sheep that they might hear Your voice and be your
flock, so also today graciously look down from heaven upon our parish
community, and send down on it your Holy Spirit, that it might be a
place to receive the joy of Your Good News. Strengthen us with your
presence, and always gather us together in prayer. Grant us the spirit
of serving others, so that in our parish all might encounter You, the
merciful God. Bless our spiritual leaders with Your wisdom, and inspire
us to generously give of our time, talents and treasure for the
building up of Your Kingdom. Unite us in peace and harmony, as befits
Your community of love. Instill in us a missionary spirit, and let our
parish community shine with the light of the Gospel, with prayer and
good works, inviting all to share in the divine life, so that Your
Name, O Savior, may be praised, together with Your eternal Father, and
your most-holy, good and life-giving Spirit. Amen.
A Prayerful Atmosphere
There are
people who come to church early to
pray and meditate before the Divine Services begin. There are also
those who choose to stay afterwards to do the same. Please
refrain from unnecessary talking, both before and after the Divine
Services, so that an appropriate atmosphere of
prayer in God's Holy House may be maintained.

Altar Flower Sign-Up Sheet
Parishioners
are reminded of the sign-up sheet for weekly altar flowers on the
bulletin board in the vestibule. Our Parish has the custom of
remembering deceased loved ones, anniversaries, etc. by sponsoring
flowers to decorate our church. If you desire a particular week,
please sign your name and dedication as soon as possible before it is
taken.
Preparation For Holy Confession
Holy Confession is appropriate whenever an Eastern Catholic Christian
feels the need for it. It is also part of our total spiritual
preparation during the fast periods leading up to the great feasts of
Easter, Christmas, Dormition of the Theotokos, and the Feast of Ss.
Peter and Paul. However, Holy Confession is especially necessary:
1. When a serious sin has been committed;
2. When a habitual sin has overwhelmed a Christian, or
3. When a Christian has stopped growing spiritually and needs a reexamination of priorities.
How can one prepare for Holy Confession? Preparation for Holy
Confession is a prayerful examination of feelings, throughts, words,
acts, attitudes, habits, values, priorities, goals, direction, and way
of life. This prayerful self-examination includes not only
personal religious life, but also family relationships, social
activities, job conduct, business dealings, political commitments and
even recreational pursuits. Our entire existence should be lived
under the light of the Holy Spirit in order to affirm our true selves
in Christ who has given us access to God's mercy and forgiveness and
who has taught us to live for God's glory.
Prayers and Cards Requested
ox Tops for Education for Holy Family
Please help Holy Family by clipping box tops for Education from a
variety of commonly used household products. Please place box
tops in the envelope on the bulletin board in the back of the Church.

Proper Reception of Holy Communion
The proper way to receive Holy Communion in a Ukrainian
Catholic Church is as follows: approach the priest closely so that he
does not have to reach too far, tilt your head back slightly, open your
mouth wide (just like at the dentist) and do not extend your tongue.
The priest should be able to drop the precious Body and Blood into your
mouth from a golden spoon without touching any part of your mouth.
Hands are recommended to be crossed over your breast and a
sign
of the cross should be made immediately before the reception of Holy

Rules
of Fasting and Abstinence
Days of Abstinence
Recently, several people have
asked about the
fasting and abstinence rules of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. Each Sui
Iures Church within the communion of the Universal Catholic Church is
responsible to set it's own fasting and abstinence rules. Therefore,
the rules of the Roman Catholic Church, for instance, will vary from
the rules of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. Briefly, for members of the
Ukrainian Catholic Church, all Fridays of the year are days of
abstinence from meat except those Fridays called "Free Fridays" when
abstinence is not prescribed. These usually follow major Holy Days such
as Easter and Christmas and are recognized by the absence of a fish on
our Parish calendars that we distribute each year. Other days of
abstinence include Christmas Eve, the eve of Theophany, Exaltation of
the Holy Cross on September 14th and Holy Saturday. Days of fast from
meat and dairy products include the first day of Lent and Good Friday.
