Juventus is next Saturday, April 24th, and Cleveland's Svyturys is preparing to welcome 168 dancers from Toronto, Chicago, Lemont, performing both traditional and new Lithuanian folk dances. The dance performance will be followed by dinner catered by Europa. The evening concludes with dance music courtesy of DJ Eugenius Dicevicius. There are only a few tickets remaining, and you can get yours from Ricardas Sirvinskas after mass today at St. Casimir.


A word to the wise for St. Casimir parishioners next weekend: arrive early for weekend masses, and be prepared for a bit of a walk to get to church. Several hundred people will gather at St. Casimir next Saturday evening for Juventus, and on Sunday morning for an 8:15 breakfast and 10:00 mass. Buses for the dancers will be parked off-site and police will be on hand to direct traffic, but your patience would be a big help as well.
