his mother, Penny, on the 3rd of April at Prophet Elias in Dubuque. Dubuque
is a 4 hour drive from Champaign. The Divine Liturgy starts at 10 a.m. followed
by a Lenten reception. Because Dubuque is a great distance and Great Lent
can be a busy time, Father George and Valerie certainly understand if you and
your family are unable to attend. In that event, the Pyle family simply asks for
your prayers and a lighted candle at the parish where you will be worshipping
that day.
