THE GREAT LENT IS NEAR...

On Saturday, December 1, 2012 our St. George Serbian Orthodox Church School held its annual Advent Workshop.  Our children BEAUTIFULLY sang the entire Divine Liturgy under the direction of Tijana Samardzija.  This was truly a blessed Liturgy to partake in and to hear our little St. George voices in our church.  The church school children received holy Confession and Communion together.  As all can see, our children are learning and participating!  After Liturgy, Prota Dobrivoje held an altar boy workshop explaining how important their participation is during the Divine Liturgy.  Throughout the afternoon children enjoyed a lenten lunch, religious classes, children's choir Christmas selections, and Christmas crafts.  Prota Dobrivoje also held a teen religious class.  The Church School would like to give a special thank you to Peter Katic for donating the glass jars for our crafts. The Christmas lent has begun and it is a time of prayer, fasting, almsgiving, confessing of our sins and partaking in the Holy Sacrament of Communion. HAVE A VERY BLESSED ADVENT!

Please enjoy this slide show of photos from the picnic last Sunday.  Our children had a FUN afternoon playing soccer and enjoying each other's company.  Thank  you to Ljubica Rokosz for these pictures.

Our Bishop Stefan Lastavica Church Choir proudly participated in the 71st Annual Serbian Singing Federation Choral Festival that was hosted by the St. George Serbian Singing Society of San Diego, CA. There were twelve choirs that participated in this magnificent choral weekend from all over the US & Canada. It was our honor to represent our parish and our performance selections were under the direction of Dr. Janja Katic:
Moja Rano by Slavko Jankovic
Osmi Sastav of Stare Gradske Pesme by Nikola Resanovic
Our choir members enjoyed the Serbian hospitality of San Diego and were able to also enjoy some of the beautiful southern California sights! We look forward to next year's 72nd Choral Festival during the Memorial Day weekend of  2013 that will be held near to us in neighboring Lansing, Illinois. We also plan to have our Children's Choir part of next year's festival, so mark your calendars now! Ziveli!

Please join us on Sunday, June 3, 2012!

Our St. George Tromedja Folklore group has wrapped up another year of folklore dancing.  We are very proud of our dancers!  Our four groups had a busy year proudly dancing for our 100th Celebration, St. Sava, Church Slava, and many more festivals around the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana area.  Our middle and senior groups even made it to Pittsburg to perform!   We had many weeks of practice and  hard work and our children deserve every praise.  Our Folklore Group hosted the End of the Year picnic last Sunday on May 20th to mark not only the end of the year for folklore, but for our Church School as well, and we were thankful for everyone's help in making the picnic a success.  Fall is just around the corner and we will once again look forward to exciting new dance year!  Please enjoy this video of our senior group performing the "Banat" dance.  We have four high school seniors graduating:  Ana Alavanja, Jelena Marcic, Bogdan Jevtic, and Nikola Tatic.  We wish them all well and success in college!
