Sunday, April 6th

This Sunday, April 6, 2014, our parish, as well as whole our Ukrainian Catholic Church around the world will conduct the renewal of the Act of placing Ukraine under the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos.

His Beatitude Sviatoslav, the Father and Head of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church, said: “By this Act we solemnly recognize God’s watchfulness over us, we express our love toward the Mother of God, our readiness to fulfil all that her Son and our Lord Jesus commands us; and our desire to serve God and our nation only in the light of God’s law. May this prayer to the Most Holy Mother of God be a concrete demonstration of our desire to implement this Consecration in our lives. We will observe this consecration personally and communally, petitioning our Lord for His blessing upon our long-suffering nation through the intercession of the Theotokos”

His Beatitude reminds us that back in this day, the pious Prince Yaroslav the Wise (1019-1054) dedicated the people of Kyiv-Rus’ to the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos. This dedication was renewed at Zarvanytsja in 1995 by Myroslav-Ivan Cardinal Lubachivsky, of blessed memory.

This Act will take place in our parish after each Liturgy i.e  in Queanbeyan at 8:30 am and in Canberra at 11 am.

So, come alone, with your family and friend to pray together to Holy Mother of God for Her Protection for Ukraine.

Also, we would like remind that Divine Liturgy in Canberra will be for children and youth of our parish (as every first Sunday of month). After Liturgy will be special prayers and blessing for children and youth. Come together whit your children to pray for their good life.

After Liturgy in Canberra will be light lunch, costs $5.
