  1. Saint Philip’s Fast

This fast begins forty days before the Nativity of our Lord on November 15, the day after the feast of St. Philip (Nov. 14), and that is why it called Saint Philip’s Fast (or the Philippian Fast – Pilipiwka in Ukrainian).  The Philippian Fast is a time to prepare us to receive Christ into the world and into our hearts.  Compare it to “advent”, but we’ve already started the journey.

  1. Solemn Holy Day on Tuesday

The Presentation of the Mother of God solemn Holy Day is this Tuesday, November 21st.  Divine Liturgy will be held at 9:00am. According to the Sacred Tradition of the Church, when Mary was three years old, her pious parents, Joachim and Anna had brought their child Mary to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.  At that time, the priest of the Old Testament who received the child Mary was Zachary, the father of St. John the Baptist.  Sacred tradition has it that the Blessed Virgin Mary stayed in the dedicated temple life until the age of fifteen.  Mary from an early age dedicated Her entire life to the service of the Lord God.  She prayed frequently and devoutly.  She had a sincere love for neighbor and loved poverty and shared with the poor, those in need.  She embodied the perfection of a virtuous life and became a shining example for others to follow.  Please come to Church on this Holy Day to honor the Mother of God.

Some reminders of fundraising efforts:

1) potato peeling for pyrohy will be this Wednesday, November 1st at 9:30 AM.

2) Those wishing to help with the pyrohy making process – Thursday, November 2nd at 9AM.  Remember, no pinchers or potato ball makers needed because of the machine, but we need people to carry trays to freezers and other tasks that are needed as we get used to the new process. Please be patient as we all get adjusted to this new process!!! Plus the potatoes and dough are still being made that day fresh!  There will be NO PICKUPS of pyrohy orders on Thursday as they need to be frozen.  Distribution will be on Saturdays as always.

3) All frozen pyrohy orders can be picked up Saturday, November 4th from 2:30 until 10 minutes before Liturgy.  Also pick ups after both liturgies on Saturday and Sunday for a short period of time. 

3) The harvest dinner on November 12th starts at 12:15. Take out orders must be picked up between 11 – 12.  Thank you for coming at that time as this is a sit down dinner and it will be difficult for us to make up your “to go” order after the dinner starts. Please call for your reservations now.  See bulletin for details.  Reminder, we will have Ukrainian soldiers wounded in the war with us and there will be raffle baskets and 50-50 to purchase. Plenty of time after Divine Liturgy to browse!

Ukrainian Army reveals Ukraine’s Strong Spirit

We remember the noble goal which is worth living for and sacrificing our lives for. This goal is an independent Ukrainian state in the family of European nations of high civilization and culture. These words were spoken by the Father and Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, His Beatitude Sviatoslav, in his greeting speech on the occasion of the Feast of the Protection of the Mother of God and the Day of Defenders of Ukraine. Christian Ukraine celebrates the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary for the first time on October 1. “Today, we celebrate the Day of Defenders of Ukraine. Historically, our Ukrainian army has been the army of those who protect and secure the life and development of the Ukrainian people. They are the ones who fight for Ukraine’s dignity and freedom. Therefore, on this day, our gratitude and greetings go to our men and women at the front who are protecting the future of Ukraine at the cost of their own lives,” said the Head of the Church. Three words come to mind today. The first is memory. “We remember,” the spiritual leader reminds us, “all our predecessors, entire epochs, generations of the national liberation struggle of Ukraine for its freedom and independence. We remember all those who fell in an unequal battle with the Russian aggressor. Today, we pray for them from the earth to the heavens, from the human heart to the throne of God.”  The second word is fraternity. “We win only when we can rely on the shoulder of a comrade-in-arms, on the strength and courage of the Ukrainian army. It is the brotherhood of those at the front and those who live and work for the front. This national solidarity and unity in the struggle is the key to our victory. This brotherhood is like a cry forged in the furnace of our struggle for freedom,” His Beatitude Sviatoslav urges us to reflect.  The third word is vocation. “The Lord God is calling our soldiers forward to defend the space of life and to remain human even in inhuman circumstances. The Ukrainian army today is called to conquer death with life, to bring light where there is darkness,” said the Head of the Church.  According to him, we are now called to bring the space of freedom to where the Russian invader seeks to bring oppression and slavery. “Once again, we express our gratitude to the Ukrainian soldiers for showing the whole world what Ukraine is capable of — demonstrating that we are invincible and strong in spirit. The strength of spirit and will of the Ukrainian soldier now amazes the world,” the Primate emphasized.

Prayer For Peace in Ukraine

Heavenly Father, You Son taught us “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God.” We fervently pray in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that you inspire men to become peacemakers. May mankind seek reconciliation and peace as is Your Will in this world. May tranquility be restored to all nations and especially Ukraine. God, Our Father, we beseech You to comfort the suffering, heal the wounded, and accept the souls of the dearly departed into Your heavenly kingdom. May the Most Holy Mother of God extend Her Mantle of Protection over Ukraine and the whole world. May each of us always live our lives as instruments of Your peace, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Metropolitan Borys visits Capitol Hill

________________________________

On Thursday, September 28th, Metropolitan Borys Gudziak together with the Razom Advocacy team, visited Capitol Hill to talk to Congressional leaders about the need to pass swift and decisive guarantees regarding aid to Ukraine.  The Archbishop met with Congressmen Tim Burchett representing the 2nd District of Tennessee, Neal Dunn serving as the U.S. representative for Florida’s 2nd congressional district, Joe Wilson, the U.S. representative for South Carolina’s 2nd congressional district and Chair of the Helsinki Commission, Gus Bilirakis who serves Florida’s 12th District, and Gregory Meeks from New York’s 5th Congressional District who is the ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.  Archbishop Borys held a meeting with Reverend Admiral Margaret Grun Kibben, chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives. In February she visited Ukraine together with a small group of House GOP members. Each Wednesday Chaplain Kibben dedicates prayers in the House of Representatives to Ukraine.  “Our American political system with all its weaknesses evident in these days has many overriding virtues. Our Congress is open to the people. Members of our legislative bodies know that they must listen to citizens. We have the opportunity and responsibility to make our voices heard. I encourage all Americans to go see your representatives. The doors are open. They receive us courteously. In one day, it was possible to speak with several members and their staff. Some members are big friends of Ukraine, and others have voted against bills supporting Ukraine,” noted Metropolitan Borys Gudziak. “We thanked those who support our people and sought to help the others understand why they should do the same. Some of those whom we met were clearly swayed by the information we provided.”  The Metropolitan stressed that the work of the Ukrainian community representatives –the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America and Razom’s advocacy team – is essential. “I encourage all Ukrainians to write to or visit their senators or representatives. Thank them for their support and encourage those who do not fully support Ukraine to change their position,” emphasized the Archbishop who serves on the Razom Advocacy Advisory Board.

PLEASE PRAY FOR

Please include in your prayers those members of our parish who are in hospitals, care homes, rehabilitation facilities & those who are not able to join us actively in our church community.

  • Clergy Retreat in New Jersey

Fr. Myron and the clergy of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia participated in the annual Clergy Retreat, which was held at San Alfonso Retreat House in Long Branch, New Jersey. Nearly all priests in the active ministry attended. This year’s retreat Director was Mitred Protopresbyter Mark Morozowich, a Ukrainian Catholic priest from the Eparchy of St. Josaphat in Parma, Ohio. He is a Western Pennsylvania native. He grew up in the Pittsburgh area. Rev. Mitred Archpriest Mark has written articles on numerous topics, such as the Divine Liturgy and the Ukrainian Catholic Church in America, East meets West in Liturgy, and Eastern Catholic Infant Communion. He has also given lectures on such topics as the Council of Zamosc, the Presanctified Liturgy, Made in His Image and Likeness: Worship and Icons. And the Sacraments of Initiation in the Ukrainian Catholic Church.  After sharing supper together, the clergy were welcomed by Archbishop Borys Gudziak. Archbishop Borys introduced this year’s retreat master and briefly shared some of the recent events happening in Ukraine and in the Vatican. Pope Francis met with 45 Ukrainian Catholic bishops earlier this month. They shared some thoughts and open dialogue regarding the current situation in Ukraine and its effect on our Church there and throughout the Diaspora. Father Mark’s talks concentrated on us priests becoming “other Christ.” He spoke of the need to develop a close personal relationship with Our Lord God and Savior. Also, priests need to daily reflect and meditate on the Scriptural readings for the day, namely the Epistle and Gospel. Also, having received Christ in the reception of the Holy Eucharist, we are to put the prayers from the Liturgy into practice. Faith needs to be shown in active works, especially for our less fortunate faithful. It is utmost in providing pastoral ministry to them. The priest and all the faithful have been created in the image and likeness of God. We all are called to serve the Lord God in humility and great faith, especially in times of trials and tribulations. Both Archbishop Borys and the Retreat Master had reminded us to constantly pray daily for peace in Ukraine and to offer our help to those who had been wounded in the ongoing war in Ukraine. We should have a special sensitivity and compassion to those who now may have become our parishioners. The hope and prayer are that the clergy, having been renewed in spirit, may return to their parishes and assigned work with a new zeal to serve God and the People of God.

PLEASE PRAY FOR

Please include in your prayers those members of our parish who are in hospitals, care homes, rehabilitation facilities & those who are not able to join us actively in our church community.

Prayer For Peace in Ukraine

Heavenly Father, You Son taught us “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God.” We fervently pray in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that you inspire men to become peacemakers. May mankind seek reconciliation and peace as is Your Will in this world. May tranquility be restored to all nations and especially Ukraine. God, Our Father, we beseech You to comfort the suffering, heal the wounded, and accept the souls of the dearly departed into Your heavenly kingdom. May the Most Holy Mother of God extend Her Mantle of Protection over Ukraine and the whole world. May each of us always live our lives as instruments of Your peace, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  • Protection of the Mother of God

The Church has always glorified the Most Holy Mother of God as the Protectress and Defender of the Christian people, entreating, by her intercession, God’s loving-kindness towards us sinners.  The Mother of God’s aid has been clearly shown times without number, both to individuals and to peoples, both in peace and in war, both in monastic deserts and in crowded cities.  It is one of the most beloved feast days on the Church Calendar, commemorated on October 1st.

  • Russian troops hit an industrial enterprise in Lviv

On the night of September 19, 2023, Russian troops hit an industrial enterprise in Lviv, where the warehouse of humanitarian aid Caritas-Space Ukraine was located. The mission staff were not hurt, but the warehouse with everything inside burned to the ground.  33 pallets of food kits, 10 pallets of hygiene kits and cans, 10 pallets with generators and clothing have been destroyed. According to the representatives of the Lviv archeparchy, in which there is a warehouse, about 300 tons of humanitarian trucks burned in the warehouse. Vehicles with humanitarian cargo were rescued from the warehouse.  This is not the first case that the Russian Federation has attacked humanitarian warehouses in Ukraine. Counting all attacks on humanitarian warehouses is difficult because of confidentiality of information, but according to media reports, in May this year, warehouses of two humanitarian organizations in Odessa and Ternopil were destroyed. Caritas-Space Ukraine is monitoring the situation and will keep its partners updated.

  • St. Vladimir’s Pyrohy

The pyrohy machine has been tested and we are ready to go.  It’s going pretty well.  Volunteers needed will be greatly reduced, but still needed.  Potatoes will still need to be peeled the day before. We need to discuss the dates we will be making them, usually, October, November and December.  Most likely the pyrohy will be made during the week and sold on a Saturday.  Dates to be determined. Also the freezer issues need to be resolved before we can announce the dates.  Pyrohy will be sold frozen and uncooked.

PLEASE PRAY FOR
