ANNOUNCEMENTS:
First and Foremost: This week we mourn the loss of a great leader in our town and our region, and among our people. Nora Marks Dauenhauer, who bears the name Keix̱wnéi, began her journey to the next life, having received the Holy Gifts for the last time. Her family and friends gathered at her side for her final days, and she fell asleep holding hands with those who loved her. May God grant us all such a rich life as hers, and such a Blessed death, when it is our time.
The funeral service will be held on Saturday (September 30) at 1 PM at Saint Paul's Roman Catholic Church in the Valley, and our Bishop David will be down from Anchorage to preside. If you know the old hymns, please come and sing Grandmother Nora on her journey, and bid her your farewell until we all meet again in the next life.
There will be Divine Liturgy on Sunday, also served by Vladyka David, and on Monday the internment service will be sung by Father Michael Oleksa at the cemetery. Information on the time for the internment on Monday, and on other memorials and ceremonies held this weekend and in the near future, will need to come from others in the community as those plans develop.
FaceBook: Please remember that you can follow our Church on FaceBook, and know that there will be regular posts to strengthen and encourage you during the journey through Holy Week. You can cut and paste this link into your browser if it is helpful:
