www.tevzib.comWith the large postwar arrival of Lithuanians not speaking English, a Lithuanian language newspaper became essential, and so the idea of a weekly paper was born.
The Lithuanian Canadian R.C. Cultural Society "Žiburiai" was formed for this purpose. With no central facilities available, Fr. Ažubalis allowed the fledgling paper to use the basement of the rectory into which were crammed the linotypes, editorial and administrative areas.
In 1956, an addition was built adjoining the rectory to provide more of the desperately needed space. In 1974, the newspaper moved into its new spacious facilities at Anapilis.
The first editor of the weekly was Dr. Adolfas Šapoka, and on his death he was succeded by Msgr. Dr. Pranas Gaida.
