To the Very Reverend Clergy, Monastics and Religious Sisters and Brothers, Seminarians and Laity of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Canada:

Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24)

The Easter event is filled with much dramatic activity! The women go to the tomb where Jesus’ body was placed. We are told that there was a great earthquake. An angel ap- pears to the women telling them not to be afraid. Jesus is not there. Jesus has been raised. The angel then tells the women, “Go quickly and tell his disciples, He has been raised from the dead, and indeed He is going ahead of you in Galilee. There you will see him” (Mt 28:7). The women began to run from the tomb. They suddenly meet the Risen Christ who tells them not to be afraid. Jesus tells them to “go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me” (Mt 28:10). That same message to go and tell others of what you have seen and heard, that Jesus, the Messiah, our Saviour, has risen from the dead is repeated again and again in our East- er Sunday Divine Liturgy. When the eleven disciples went to Galilee, the Risen Christ greets them and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disci- ples of all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Mt 28:16-20). This great commandment is directed not only at the disciples. It is directed to all of us, to the followers of Jesus Christ. All of us share in the duty and privilege to announce the Gos- pel. All of us share in the mission to preach the Good News to all people. Our nature as Church, as the people of God is always missionary. We are all called to evangelize and to give witness to Christ’s presence in the world through action and love. This is why the Gospel mes- sage is read in so many languages during the Easter Divine Liturgy. Let us begin by telling our family members of God’s love. Many of our family mem- bers experience God’s presence through the light of a dimly lit candle. Sometimes this happens through one’s own choice. At other times, it can happen through circumstances beyond one’s control. Yet, even with a dimly lit candle, there is always hope. Jesus Christ is the Light of the world. Christ can fan the light of that dimly lit candle into a light that burns brightly and is in- extinguishable. With confidence and courage, let each of us share our faith with others. Our faith is a precious gift that has been given to us by Jesus Christ to be shared. It should not be kept to ourselves but shared with others, beginning with our family members whom we love. Togeth- er, we are on a mission. May we find hope and courage to go out and preach the Good News. Take as an inspiring example the creativity of many who have provided online sharing of wor- ship and prayer as we responded to the challenges of this pandemic. While the light from gath- ering in our parishes was dimmed, the light of sharing our faith was illuminated through the internet. Remember, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, that we do not walk alone in this mis- sion. Jesus Christ promises, “I am with you always until the end of the age” (Mt 28:20). May your hearts be aflame with passion to know the Risen Christ. May you be inspired to share your faith in Jesus Christ with others. May your hearts be filled with overflowing joy on realiz- ing the presence of the Risen Christ within you. May you know the peace of the Risen Christ. May your Easter celebrations be filled with much joy, inner peace, and heartfelt love shared with your family and with all whom you love and meet in the exciting journey of life. God’s choicest blessings be upon you, because Christ is Risen! Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

2021 ANNUAL EPARCHIAL APPEAL “GIVE & it will be GIVEN unto YOU (Luke 6:38) This weekend marks the kick-off to our 2021 and 6thAnnual Eparchial Appeal. The Appeal will run April 10th/11th to May 23rd/24th. Our theme for this year is “GIVE & it will be GIVEN unto YOU”. We already know that our Ukrainian Catholic Faithful in our Epar- chy indeed give generously in all aspects of their life. We are hum- bly and respectfully asking you to share a small portion of the fruits of your labor to help promote our Faith and our Ukrainian Catholic Church in Saskatchewan. As in past years, the funds raised in the 2021 Annual Eparchial Appeal will go towards funding the costs of the programs offered through our Eparchial Ministries, St. Matthews Clergy Society and the Bishop Roborecki Foundation Over the next few weeks, you will have the opportunity to learn more about our Eparchial Ministries and how they contribute to cre- ate Vibrant Parishes as a place to encounter the Living Christ. Next week the 2021 Annual Eparchial Appeal Video will demonstrate just how important it will be to earn your support of the Appeal and the Eparchial Ministries programs. In the next week or so, you will be receiving your Annual Eparchial Appeal Letter Package in the mail, which will contain detailed information on the various Eparchial ministries and programs sup- ported by the 2021 Appeal. As it has in the last five years, your gift to the 2021 Appeal will make a significant difference and will serve as a powerful witness of God’s love and mercy. The 2021 Annual Eparchial Goal is set at $250,000. Each Parish in the Eparchy is assigned an Eparchial Appeal goal based on the num- ber of parish families in the Parish. This may seem like a big num- ber, however, when broken down to an amount per each Parish Family in the Eparchy, it amounts to approximately $100 per each Parish Family. With gratitude and appreciation, we ask you to please find it in your heart to support the 2021 Annual Eparchial Appeal. Please call the Foundation Office at 306-653-0183, ext 223 if you have any questions, or refer to our website at www.ucfsask.org for more information.
