Hill of Crosses

Today I thought of bulldozers disassembling St. Peter’s Church.

It was devastating to visualize that event. Condos built where our church once stood.

It made me think of the Hill of Crosses. Every time the Communists destroyed it, the Hill of crosses would grow once again.

Why can’t we build our own Hill of Crosses

in front of and around St. Peter Lithuanian Church?

Let’s call to a Higher Power to protect our sacred ground

Join us…

Take down a cross off your wall

Make one out of popsicle sticks or branches from a tree in your yard.

Do it in the name of a loved one, or in the name of your family

Do it for Christ, and his holy mother Mary

Place a cross for Lithuania

On October 31^sst, after the 10:30 Sunday Mass, there will be candlelight ceremony where we will be placing crosses, big ones, little ones, home made, store bought, sentimental ones…

We want the archdiocese to know and understand that our church is a sacred place, and should not be disturbed. In the spirit of “velines” or All Souls’ Day let’s remember those who built St. Peter Lithuanian Church and let’s honor their memory by helping build our very own Kryziu Kalnas or Hill of Crosses.

Let’s call upon our Faith in God to save St. Peter Lithuanian Parish… , the same Faith that kept rebuilding the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania under Communist oppression..

Pass this idea on to a friend .
