Since this luncheon will be catered, all planning to attend are asked to contact the undersigned, the Lodge Secretary at 412-922-2340 no later than July 12, 2011. Please leave a message at that number and your attendance will be ensured.
Father Dan Whalen, the administrator of St. Nicholas Parish will celebrate the Mass and join us for the luncheon in the church hall. We welcome Fr. Dan and thank him for allowing us to schedule the Parish Hall for this important annual event.
Following the luncheon we will hold the regular July meeting .
We cordially welcome everyone, especially those who may have ancestry from Sveta Jana and the surrounding areas in Croatia, who may not be members of the Lodge. The original immigrants from Sveta Jana and the other areas near Jastrebarsko (Jaska) were among the core of the original Croatian community in the Pittsburgh area and founded many of the institutions we still enjoy today. In honoring Sveta Jana/Ana we thank her for her continued patronage of this community and for the inspiration she gave our founders and still gives us today.
Please remember Sunday, July 17, 2011 and join us for this special annual celebration in honor of St. Anne and our 50-year members.
