Memorial Fund for Matthew

It is with heavy hearts but hope in the Resurrection that we ask for your prayers and help today. Fr. Stephen Kaznica's son, Matthew, fell asleep in the Lord today at the age of 27. He will now be able to intercede before Christ for his remaining family here, his twin sister Anna, his brother Alexei and his parents, Fr. Stephen and Mat. Valerie. We would like to provide the family with the funds necessary to help with funeral/burial costs. These costs are not the normal ones parents plan and prepare for. As parents, we know in time we will have to prepare for our own death, but never the death of our children.

If you have been blessed by Fr. Stephen in the many years he has served as a faithful priest, if you have met their family, met Matthew, or just feel moved to give to them as fellow Christians, this is a beautiful way to support them on this path no parent/family even wants to be set on. These funds will allow them to give Matthew a proper and beautiful last service until they are united again in God's Heavenly Kingdom. Donations can be made through this Go Fund Me campaign, or if you prefer to send something directly to the family please contact Nora Kowalcheck through Facebook for a mailing address.

May the Lord grant His servant +Matthew rest among the saints, and may his memory be eternal!
