Without these things, it would cost $1,208.93 per member, per year to fulfill the basic costs of running our parish (based on our 2009 operating costs). Fr. Jaroslaw Buciora (St. Volodomyr UOC) and Dobrodyka Sofia for participating in the Holy Friday Lamentations with us. Fr. Fransisco Blazek (Assumption of the Virgin Mary RCC) for honouring us as our guest during the Anastasis Liturgy. The Lent and Leino families for sponsoring yet another fantastic, traditional GOYA Palm Sunday Fish Dinner, the GOYAns and youth for serving the dinner, and everyone who helped in the kitchen and cleanup! Everything was wonderful. All the people who helped to make HOLY WEEK and PASCHA services a success the chanters, the altar boys (whose attendance and service all week was spectacular), the donor of the epitaph flowers, the ladies who decorated the epitaph after the Service of the 12 Gospels, those carrying the cross and the epitaph on Holy Friday, the ushers keeping the narthex in order and everyone else who play a part in the Holy Week preparation. The list goes on and on Paul Imperius for the great pictures to keep alive these beautiful moments in our lives. 7
