Frackville

Over the past few months there has been a lot of time and effort put into the project of maintaining and improving the appearance of our church, rectory and grounds. Special thanks to Father Robert and Joanna, Betty Brazausky, Robert Touchinsky, Louise Gursky, Edward Bulcavage, John Golba, Mary Ann Hoppes, Stan & Florence Bulcavage, Paul Elsavage and Fred & Carolyn Boychak. Also to Edward Halaburda for his continued work with the upkeep of the parish cemetery.

The rectory kitchen has a new countertop, the cabinets have been repaired and the plumbing and drainage system has been redone. A new computer system and leather chair was purchased for the office. New drapes and curtains were handmade and installed. The rugs throughout the rectory have been thoroughly steamed cleaned. The concession stand is fully operational. The rear of the church is in the process of getting a badly needed fresh coating of paint.

Even with the added responsibilities of caring for their new baby Victoria, Father Robert and Joanna found the time to create a beautiful flower bed between the back rectory porch and the garage. As if that wasn’t enough, they also planted a large vegetable garden on the opposite side of the garage with tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, beets, and more.

Annual Mother’s Day Breakfast 2004

Frackville, PNCC / pnccadmin

At its annual event, the men of the parish sponsored by the Young Men’s Society of Resurrection treated all parishioners to a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, home fries, toast, fruit cup, juice, coffee and cake. Before Mass all the mothers were presented with a carnation to commemorate the day.

A short program consisted of the men singing ‘M.O.T.H.E.R.’… “M is for the million…” while a YMS of R member handed out favors to all the mothers. A drawing followed awarding seven donated prizes plus the handmade centerpieces at each table. Rev. Robert Plichta then presented each mother with his token gift to show his appreciation.

A special gift was presented to Mrs. Florence Bulcavage by the YMS of R for her dedication to the event. Florence made the favors and centerpieces and helped with the planning of the event. With the help of her organizational skills, the YMS of R is able to make the event more memorable by changing the theme year to year.

The men enjoy doing this annually for the parish and everyone has a great time!
