Zadusnice/ Memorial Saturday
May 30, 2026.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
There are moments in the life of the Church that call us to slow down, to remember, and to reconnect with the eternal. Zadušnice, our Memorial Saturday, is one of those holy moments.
On Saturday, May 30, 2026, we are invited to gather in prayer, not only in church, but at the very places where our loved ones rest. The cemetery is not a place of fear or forgetfulness, it is a place of love, of memory, and of hope. Our presence there, our prayers, the blessing of the graves, these are acts of communion, of faith, and of grace.
We do not go to mourn alone. We go to stand in the light of Christ, Who has trampled down death by death. We go to say, "You are not forgotten. You are still loved. You are still part of us."
Let us come together on this day, not in sorrow, but in love, to pray for the souls of our departed, to bless their resting places, and to remind ourselves that in Christ, no one is ever truly gone.
If you have a departed loved one, and would like their grave blessed, and to pray for the repose of their souls, please see the schedule below. Father Aleksandar, along with the help of
Father Zvonko will attend the following cemeteries and times:
