Please join us
We are planning to hold a Parish Picnic, on Sunday, August 9th, following Divine Liturgy.
This will be held on the lawn behind the church (weather permitting), and will be potluck style.
All are welcome, and those who are able are invited to bring chairs and umbrellas, along with contribution of food

Feasts of Transfiguration
At this time when we celebrate this special feast day the first fruits are beginning to ripen.
Let us think about all the fruits and vegetables that you might be eating from your own or other people’s gardens right now. God gives us fruits and vegetable to nourish us. Of course, most importantly He gave us His Son. To say a special thank you to God for all that he gives us we bring these first fruits to him to be blessed.
This practice began with the Jews who were instructed by God, at the beginning of the exodus: “You must bring the best of the first-fruits of your soil to the house of the Lord, your God.” (Ex. 23:19).
Свято Преображення
У цей час, коли ми святкуємо це особливе свято, починають дозрівати перші плоди.
Давайте поміркуємо про всі фрукти та овочі, які ви, можливо, зараз їсте зі своїх або чужих городів. Бог дарує нам фрукти та овочі, щоб ми могли харчуватися. Звичайно, найголовніше — Він дав нам Свого Сина. Щоб висловити Богу особливу подяку за все, що Він нам дає, ми приносимо Йому ці перші плоди для благословення.
Цей звичай започаткували євреї, яким на початку Виходу Бог наказав: «Найкращі з перших плодів своєї землі приносьте до дому Господа, вашого Бога» (Вих. 23:19).
Feast of Dormition
We like to take flowers to church to be blessed on the Feast day of the Dormition to honour Mary and to remember the beautiful smell that came out of her tomb.
Свято Успіння
У день свята Успіння ми любимо приносити квіти до церкви на освячення, щоб вшанувати Марію та згадати той чудовий аромат, що виходив з її гробниці. Можливо, ви всією родиною зможете віднести частину своїх освячених квітів комусь особливому. А решту квітів поставте перед іконою Успіння (її можна роздрукувати на сайті
https://eeparchy.com/faithbasedresources) або перед іконним вінком, який діти виготовили сьогодні.
Preparation for Divine Liturgy
In an effort to foster a more prayerful environment for those
arriving at church for Divine Liturgy, we plan to introduce a variety of prayers to be chanted.
We seek volunteers to read or chant these various services, which will include the Third
Hour, the Rosary and the Jesus Prayer. We plan to alternate these in Ukrainian and English,
subject to availability of volunteer readers.
We will ensure you have the materials you need. Please note, no experience is necessary will be happy to coach you through what you need to do.

Preserve Our Heritage
Assure Our Future Fundraiser
Please consider donating to help us restore our church
Our small Ukrainian Church in Brantford is seeking $85,000 to help us maintain our church and the broader Ukrainian identity in Brantford.
Even though we are a small parish, our plans are ambitious and our needs great.
Sadly, we have had to make substantial repairs to our buildings due to aging infrastructure and vandalism. We funded these through a combination of our own resources, insurance claims and government grants.
We have always tried to be prudent in our expenditures and proactive in seeking out available funding. These repairs inspired new pride in our church and inspired our goal to restore degrading infrastructure and make needed upgrades.
