Sts. Peter and Paul Scholarship

 

Поштовани наши парохијани,

Са великом радошћу делимо једну прелепу вест која сведочи да као истинска заједница - права духовна породица - увек можемо једни другима пружити руку помоћи и подршке.

Наше дивне и племените парохијанке, сестре Александра Странг и Зорана Мршић, пре четири године основале су посебан фонд из којег се сваке године додељује неколико стипендија нашим младим парохијанима који похађају факултетске студије.

И ове године, сестре Александра и Зорана са великом љубављу настављају ову дивну традицију и позивају све студенте наше парохије да се пријаве и конкуришу за ове стипендије.

У наставку текста можете наћи детаљне информације о томе шта је потребно како бисте аплицирали за ову помоћ.

Нека Господ благослови њихову великодушност и подари успех нашим младим студентима!

Dear parishioners,

We are delighted to share wonderful news, which clearly shows that as a true community—a genuine spiritual family—we can always extend a helping hand and offer support to one another.

Four years ago, our dedicated and generous parishioners, sisters Aleksandra Strang and Zorana Mrsic, established a special fund to award several scholarships each year to young members of our parish who are currently enrolled in college studies.

Once again this year, Aleksandra and Zorana lovingly continue this beautiful tradition and invite all college students from our parish to apply for these scholarships.

Below you will find detailed information regarding the application process.

May the Lord bless their generosity and grant success to all our young students!
