This Friday, September 18 at 7 pm, St. Casimir's church is inviting all to a Sacred Music concert dedicated to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Alexandra Kazickas.

Last Friday, September 11, "Mamų Unija" president Egle Melinauskiene and her team cut the ribbon and officially opened the doors of the Family Home.

This year, the Sacred Music Hours cycle sponsored by the Kazickas Family Foundation invites you to a special concert series dedicated to mark the 100th birthday of Alexandra Kazickas. Lithuania’s young talents will appear in locations related to the life story of Alexandra. 

In 2012 the Kazickas Family Foundation established the Joseph P. Kazickas Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Yale to support the Baltic Studies program in the MacMillan Center's Council on European Studies. Since then nine Fellows from Lithuania already had a chance to advance their academic experience at Yale, including Spring 2020 Fellows, Vytautas Kuokstis and Stanislovas Stasiulis, who faced unexpected challenges and were forced to return home early due to COVID-19.

This year brought some unexpected challenges that forced Sacred Music Hours and Christopher Festival schedules to adapt. However, the powerful organ music will continue to sound in Vilnius, Klaipeda and Siauliai. On August 18, 2020 at 7 pm everyone is invited to the Sacred Music Hours Opening Concert of the Cycle at St. Casimir’s Church dedicated to mark Alexandra and Joseph Kazickas wedding anniversary.

The very first Youth Can Summer Camp was a big success! An opportunity for 34 program's boys and girls to spend a fun, creative, productive, bonding, and unforgettable week together is a product of many generous, creative, and hard working individuals.

Usually, the Lithuanian Cultural Camp Neringa​ would have been packed with children's excitement, commotion, and laughter this time of the year. However, these days its visitors are just the occasional bird or frog. While many were left heartbroken not to have the opportunity to see their friends at Neringa, the camp administration, counselors and community members have been working hard to keep everyone connected.
