Lithuanian American Community Lemont Chapter’s Commemoration of the Day of Mourning and Hope

Sunday, June 15, at 12:00 p.m.
Blessed Jurgis Matulaitis Mission
Lithuanian World Center
14911 127th St., Lemont, IL

The event will feature remarks by Marija Boharevičienė, compiler of the book “Red Poppies Between the Rails.” Previously unheard testimonies of soldier and exile Gediminas Klimavičius will also be presented. After the commemoration, we will light a candle and lay flowers at the Partisan Mother Monument.

This event will be held primarily in the Lithuanian language, which may make it challenging for non-speakers to engage as full participants. Nonetheless, all are welcome to attend!
