The travelling icon of Our Lady of Pochaiv visited the St. Nicholas School family the week of September 23. Commemoration began during the weekly Monday assembly as the kindergarten class, under the direction of their teacher, Mrs. Christine DiCosola and aide Mrs. Maria Smaga, masterfully shared the many apparitions of Mary. The accomplished kindergarteners described and depicted photos of the apparition of Our Lady in Guadalupe, Fatima, Lourdes, Medjagoria, Akita, Kibeho, Hoshiv, and Pochaiv as the audience of students, teachers, parents, and community and family members listened attentively. Over thirty years ago the late Bishop Jaroslav Gabro blessed a traveling icon of Our Lady of Pochaiv. The icon continues to call another generation of our community and faithful to pray for our Church and venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary.
