| Blessing of the Carlisle Indian School Cemetery
On Sunday, May 8, 2011, the 3rd Sunday of Pascha, the Sunday of the Myrrh-bearing women, some of the faithful of Holy Apostles Mission in Mechanicsburg, led by Priest Timothy Hojnicki, and the Archpriest Daniel Ressetar, traveled to the U.S. War College in Carlisle Pa which is also the site of the former Carlisle Indian School. The Carlisle Indian School operated form 1879-1918. In the School’s Indian Cemetery are the graves of 186 children who died while attending the school. Of the 186 children buried there, 10 have been identified as baptized Orthodox Christians who are believed to have never received a proper Orthodox Christian burial. A panakhida (Memorial Service) was served for these children followed by the blessing of their graves. The parish was informed about this situation by the Archpriest Michael Oleksa, Chancellor of the Diocese of Alaska, who had visited Mechanicsburg in September 2010 and told the sad story of these children. During this time in American history Native American children were removed from their homes and transferred to Carlisle (and other places) to attend the boarding school. Holy Apostles plans on making this an annual event to remember those who have fallen asleep, and to proclaim the Risen Christ even to those in the tombs. Memory Eternal! Christ is Risen! Click here!

Due to the excellent stewardship of the faithful, our very successful annual Fall Dinner Dances, and several VERY generous donations from outside the parish, the mortgage on our present facility was paid off a year early! It was decided to pay it off at the December Mission Council meeting, and to keep it a secret until Christmas Day when the "Mortgage Thermometer" (usually displayed in our vestibule) was wrapped up in a festive package. With the help of the kids of the parish, Fr. Tim revealed the poster with the clear message: PAID IN FULL. We thank God for His many gifts to our community, and we pray that the next step in our development, the start of a capital campaign, will begin with His Divine blessing, to the goal of building or purchasing a more permanent Church building for our growing Christ-loving community. Glory to God for all things! Click here for pictures! |
