The Ukrainian Catholic

Foundation of Saskatchewan

manages a Grant Fund pro-

gram that was established

from the proceeds of the sale

of the Sheptytsky Institute.

The investment income

earned from the Grant Fund

investment provides funds to

assist Parishes/Missions and

Eparchial Organizations with

funding for initiatives and

programs deemed important

to them and to help them and

our Eparchy to become a

“Vibrant Parish/Mission/Organization”.

St. George’s Cathedral applied for two grants for the

Parish. First, was a $6,000 application for the installa-

tion of new doors and locks to secure entrances into the

Cathedral. Secondly, was a $2,800 application for

funding of youth programs at the Cathedral.

Ernest Boyko, Vice-Chair of the Ukrainian Catholic Foundation presented cheques from the Grant Fund to

Bernie Bodnar and Viktoriia Marko for the above re-

quests.

Over the past 5 years, the Foundation has shared over

$200,000 with Parishes/Missions and Eparchial Organi-

zations from the Foundation’s fundraising efforts.

BISHOP ANDREW ROBORECKI FOUNDATION INC. 214 Avenue M South, Saskatoon, Sask. S7M 2K4

The Bishop Roborecki Foundation was established in 1982 for the purpose of raising funds to provide finan-

cial support for the education of seminarians and clergy in our Eparchy. For the past 16 years, the month of Janu-

ary was designated as the Donation Month for Bishop Roborecki Foundation. Donations were made through all

the Parishes in the Eparchy, for which we are very thankful.

Starting in January 2020, the Bishop Roborecki Foundation will discontinue requesting donations through the

Parishes in January, and will become a participant in the ANNUAL EPARCHIAL APPEAL CAMPAIGN, which

is held after Easter of each year. Therefore, when making your next annual Eparchial Appeal donation in 2020

and going forward, please include an amount for the Bishop Roborecki Foundation, which will be used for the

education of seminarians and clergy in our Eparchy. Larger donations or Bequests will continue to be accepted if

mailed directly to the Bishop Roborecki Foundation, 214 Ave. M South, Saskatoon, Sask. S7M 2K4.

We trust this will simplify making donations towards various Eparchial Initiatives.

We sincerely thank all the Faithful in the Eparchy who have so loyally supported this Foundation for the past

37 years and we look forward to eparchy-wide continued support as we go forward.

~ Norbert Wasylenko, Chair

To the Youth (13+) and Young Adults of the Eparchy of Saskatoon: As we continue our joyous celebration of the birth of Christ during this Christmas Season, we are also reminded of how dark the world is without Him. This both heightens our anticipation while being a sobering reminder of what it means to follow Christ! With Great Fast (Lent) soon approach-ing, and in anticipation, we are presenting the following opportunity for those seeking to grow closer to Jesus, we are planning to put on a Passion Play in the Spring of 2020.

A passion play is the telling of the Passion and Death of Jesus through the medium of theatre. We will try to faithfully and artistically relive the terrible and glorious accounts of Jesus' passion and death. Please come join us, and invite friends, as we experience this spiritual drama that will lead you closer to ultimate joy in the resurrected Christ. Come and help us portray this beautiful mystery; rehearsals start in January. Glory be to Jesus Christ and his Passion.

Глава УГКЦ:«Ми маємо шукати шляхів переходу на григоріанський календар» 25.12.2019 22:53

Святкування Різдва – це не є питання дати. Це питання переживання певної події. Переживання

Божої присутності між нами. Ми маємо шукати шляхів переходу на григоріанський календар. Про

це заявив Отець і Глава Української Греко-Католицької Церкви Блаженніший Святослав в

інтерв’ю радіо «Свобода».

«При цьому треба усвідомлювати, що мусимо перейти разом, аби ця зміна календаря не зруйнувала

внутрішньої єдності жодної з Церков», – додав Блаженніший Святослав.

Предстоятель зауважив, що сьогодні, 25 грудня, велика частина вірних Греко-Католицької Церкви

святкують Різдво в різних куточках земної кулі. Користаючи з нагоди, Глава Церкви привітав усіх синів і

дочок УГКЦ з цим святом. «Христос народився! Нехай Господь Бог, який народжений сьогодні у

Вифлеємі, буде нашою надією, нашою силою будувати краще майбутнє», – побажав він.

Глава Церкви зауважив, що коли ми говоримо про зміну дати Різдва, то йдеться про зміну цілого

календаря.

Крім Різдва, ідеться, зокрема, про День захисника України, що нині відзначається 14 жовтня – у день

християнського свята Покрови Богородиці за юліанським календарем; саме цей день традиційно

сприймався як день українського козацтва, а також як символічний день заснування Української

повстанської армії. В разі переходу на григоріанський, чи новоюліанський календар, свято Покрови буде

1 жовтня.

Блаженніший Святослав пояснив, що коли ми святкуватимемо Різдво 25 грудня, це означатиме, що

Богоявлення, тобто велике освячення йорданських вод, буде 6 січня, не 19. Миколая – 6 грудня.

«Є поняття так званого новоюліанського календаря, коли так звані нерухомі свята, як-от Різдво,

святкують за новим стилем, себто за григоріанським календарем. А рухомі свята, які пов'язані з

пасхальним циклом, і саме свято Пасхи залишається за старим, юліанським, способом вираховування

цього дня», – розповів він.

За словами Блаженнішого Святослава, це лише дисциплінарні питання, які встановлені передусім

церковною владою. І оскільки вони не належать до суті християнської віри, яка є незмінною, а йдеться

про календар, то їх можна його змінювати. І це повинно служити для якоїсь мети.

«Перехід на інший календар багато в чому залежить від свідомості самих людей: щоб люди розуміли, що

перехід на новий стиль не означає переходу на несправжні дати. Ідеться про певні зміни, які б мали

послужити кращому святкуванню певних подій», – резюмував Предстоятель УГКЦ.
