Here is another event for those in the state of Michigan. Families outside of Michigan may want to check with their local Lithuanian American Communities to find out what events they have planned during this, the 2000th year celebration. SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 2009 STS. PETER & PAUL CHURCH & SCHOOL 520 Myrtle ST. NW & 1421 Hamilton Ave. NW Grand Rapids, Michigan 49504 9:30 A.M. – Mass for Lithuania and all those who gave their lives for its freedom and independence, celebrated by the Rev. Dennis Morrow. After mass, we will gather in the school’s Parish Family Center for a program and refreshments. The Musical Ensemble “Gabija” from Chicago will entertain us with their ‘kankles’ and songs. The ‘kankles” is a special stringed instrument unique to Lithuania. Many of you have never heard this instrument played before. We know you will enjoy their performance. Refreshments will be served. Please bring a dish to pass. We invite you to join us in this special commemoration, and please invite your family and friends.
