Lithuania marks June 14 as a Day of Mourning and Hope. At 3am on June 14, 1941, NKVD officers began mass arrests of Lithuanian citizens. In less than a week 18,000 people, including families with children, were deported to Siberia in sealed animal or freight wagons.

During the Soviet occupation, 800,000 Lithuanian citizens of many nationalities lost their lives, with approximately 300,000 affected by imprisonment, as well as enforced labour and exile. While in exile, one in three prisoners died from torture, starvation, or the region’s harsh climate.

Today, Lithuania at noon stopped for a national minute of silence to honor a significant part of our soul that was lost during the Soviet occupation.

Children from Zemaiciu Kalvarijos Youth Center in Lithuania are happy to receive warm socks and blankets from Rochester. Students from the Gervickas School made the blankets while members of the Rochester Lithuanian community & Our Lady of Lourdes Church donated socks.

Nors šventės jau praėjo, mūsų draugai iš už Atlanto vis nepaliauja džiuginti! Buvusių kalvarijiškių p. Reginos Juodeikienės ir p. Skirmantės J.Philippone dėka, mus pasiekė didžiulė dėžė šiltų ir gražių kojinių, saldumynų ir šiltų pledų. Vėriniečių kojytės bus šiltai ir jaukiai apautos! Nuoširdų Ačiū tariame visai JAV Rochesterio Lietuvių Bendruomenei , valdybos pirmininkei Skirmantei J.Philippone , E.Gervicko Lituanistinės mokyklos mokinukams ir vadovei Aušrai Clifford, organizatoriams ir visiems , kurie prisidėjo prie šio gerų darbų projekto (OLOL( Our Lady of Lourdes ) bažnycios parapijos žmonėms),
Tai jau ne pirmas kartas, kai Rochesterio lietuviai siunčia mums dovanas. Telaimina Jus Dievas, kiekvieną trečiadienį, Šv. mišių metu, meldžiame visiems mūsų geradariams reikalingų malonių.

A note from UofR student & Gervickas Lithuanian School teacher Živilė Vėbraitė:
Labas!
As some of you may know, at the beginning of August I went to the University Scholars Leadership Symposium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as a delegate from the University of Rochester.

The conference had over 1000 students from all over the globe. They came to learn more about world issues and how to bring about a positive change in our local and global communities. I am very happy for the opportunity to be one of those curious, passionate activists, eager to listen and talk to various leaders and to discuss solutions to world problems. Additionally, I am proud to be able to share Lithuanian history and customs with others - they were amazed about Lithuania!

Ačiū for your support and encouragement for my journey to the other side of the world!

I am sending you many linkėjimai from both Malaysia and Lithuania!

I hope to see you all at mokykla or at upcoming Lithuanian events in Rochester.

Sveiki! Norėčiau pasidžiaugti savo išleista knygute, kurios penki privalomi egzemplioriai šiandien buvo pristatyti Lietuvos nacionalinei Martyno Mažvydo bibliotekai, o tai reiškia, kad knygutė yra oficialiai išleista, ir ją galima įsigyti:) Jeigu domintų, kreipkitės:) Taip pat galite pasiklausyti neprofesionalių įrašų "Ledinukas" ir "The Frosticle": https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBp3aPbgD4YKH4AktjPXBtw
