Співайте Богу нашому! AT THE BEATITUDES we allow for 10 verses: Resurrection - 6; New Martyrs and Confessors ODE III - 4. 10. From paradise did You drive our forefather Adam, who had broken Your command- ment, O Christ; but, O Compassionate One, You caused to dwell therein the thief who con- fessed You on the cross, crying out: “Remember me, O Saviour, in Your kingdom!” 9. With the curse of death did You condemn us who had sinned, O Lord, Bestower of life; yet having suffered in Your flesh, O sinless Master, You have granted life unto mortals who cry out: “Remember us also in Your kingdom!” 8. In rising from the dead, You have raised us up from the passions with Yourself through Your resurrection, O Lord; and all the power of death have You destroyed, O Saviour. Where- fore, with faith we cry out to Thee: “Remember us also in Thy kingdom!” 7. O You who as God grant life, by Your three days in the tomb You raised up with Your- self the dead in Hades, and as One Who is good You have poured forth incorruption upon all of us who with faith ever cry out: “Remember us also in Your kingdom!” 6. Risen from the dead, O Saviour, You first appeared to the myrrh-bearing women, cry- ing out: “Rejoice!” and through them You announced Your resurrection to Your friends, O Christ. Wherefore, with faith we cry out to You, “Remember us also in Your kingdom! ” 5. Moses, stretching out his arms on the mountain, prefigured the Cross and thus con- quered Amalek. And, receiving it with faith as a mighty weapon against the demons, we all cry out: “Remember us also in Your kingdom!” 4. Remember, O Lord, the dreadful torments which the new martyrs suffered for You, who have now sprouted forth; and accept their entreaties for our salvation. 3. O righteous Judge, You have opened the kingdom of heaven unto the confessors of the Church of Rus’. Hearken, O Lord, unto their righteousness, and give ear unto their supplica- tion for the salvation of our souls. Glory ..., 2. O most divine Trinity, return us from our captivity! We know that sin and suffering has increased more than ever before; yet grace has shone forth in the struggle of the new saints, who also entreat You, O thrice-holy God, for the salvation of our souls! Now & ever ..., 1. Gather the dispersed; raise up the faint-hearted; unite your scattered flock and put an end to the divisions of the Church, O gracious and most pure Virgin Mary, entreating Christ the Saviour, with the holy new martyrs and confessors, for the forgiveness and salvation of our souls.

EPISTLE Romans 6:18-23 RETHREN, having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of Buncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Український переклад: раття, звiльнившись же вiд грiха, ви стали рабами праведности.

    Belgian Catholic Relations with “Others” in Western Canada, 1880-1940 CORNELIUS J. JAENEN University of Ottawa Belgians arrived in western Canada when the Catholic hierarchy was largely francophone, identified with selective immigration and an ideology of agriculturalism. Francophone Catholics were the dominant European element in the west in the fur trade and initial settlement periods. Following the Red River resistance movement and the creation of the province of Manitoba in 1870, the Catholic Church sought to retain its prominent role through the repatriation of Franco-Americans and the recruitment of francophone European Catholic agricultural settlers. This immigration effort extended to Belgium, perceived as an orthodox Catholic realm, populated by two ethnic groups – Walloons and Flemings – and the home of the Séminaire Anglo-Belge of Bruges and the American College of the University of Louvain that trained clergy specifically for North America. The resulting emigration did not always correspond to the clerical vision in the Canadian west. The majority of early French-speaking Walloon immigrants, for example, were more often involved in coal mining than farming and their religious views and practices usually were controversial. On the other hand, the Flemish-speakers were interested in taking up homesteads, or establishing themselves as dairy farmers near St. Boniface/Winnipeg. These Flemings were conservative Catholics, a number who also spoke French, but they were not the first choice of the colonizing clergy who wanted francophones.

    Pioneer Bishop, Pioneer Times: Nykyta Budka in Canada

    CCHA, Historical Studies, 55 (1988), 21-41 Pioneer Bishop, Pioneer Times: Nykyta Budka in Canada by Stella HRYNIUK St. John’s College University of Manitoba In 1912 the Vatican created a separate ecclesiastical province for the Ukrainian Catholics of Canada. Reverend Nykyta Budka, Prefect of the Theological Seminary of Lviv, Galicia, was appointed to head this new diocese, with a mission to serve the approximately 128,000 Ukrainian settlers scattered from Cape Breton to Vancouver Island. For the most part, these recent immigrants were found in rural settlements on the prairies. Their religious experiences have been superficially studied, and the problems encountered by their first bishop have been given scant attention. This article is an overview of the episcopate of Bishop Budka, the first Ukrainian Catholic bishop in Canada.1 In the last decade of the nineteenth century, significant numbers of Ukrainian immigrants, attracted to Canada by the prospect of cheap land, began to settle in the Prairies. The Ukrainians are a Slavic people, whose homeland at the time of the migration to Canada was divided between Austria-Hungary and Russia. Those who settled in Canada came chiefly from the Austrian province of Galicia,2 where they had been small landholders and/or agricultural labourers. They were Ukrainian Catholic by religion, meaning that in accordance with the historic Union of Brest (1596) they preserved the Eastern rite, including Church Slavonic as the language of worship, while submitting to the authority of the Pope and accepting

C$25.00, paper. he book by Athanasius D. McVay is quite remarkable. It gives a T comprehensive account of the life and work of Nykyta Budka, the first Ukrainian Catholic bishop in Canada. At the same time, it provides more than just the biography of a person, however illustrious; it historicizes a troublesome epoch ranging from the beginning to the middle of the twentieth century and covers different milieux—Austria-Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Canada, the United States, and the Soviet Union. It is a tremendous task to weave a large “cloth” with a temporal warp and geographic weft, and it is especially difficult if one has to use thousands of “threads” of varying colours and thicknesses. However, the author has managed to realize what seems only possible as metaphor. He has woven together thousands of details and facts about Bishop Budka, his place and time, and has created an epic, and yet entertaining, story. Even if one is not particularly interested in the main character of the story, the book is worth reading because it describes with precision the many sides of life of the Ukrainian Catholic community in various places and circumstances. In order to assemble his story, the author searched through many archives,

David Motiuk П’ята неділя після П’ятидесятниці Fifth Sunday after Pentecost Today’s Gospel is one of the most tragic of any and all of Scripture because it really, in a nutshell, shows how people’s lives are lost. They’re lost by just living their life, not thinking of God, doing what they want to do, and then they die. And most of them will not know what they have missed until the Judgment. What a tragedy. This tragedy is happening in our lives too. Every time that we choose the wrong way, we are like the people or the Geresenes because we are losing an opportunity for sanctity, for blessedness. We must, when we can, do what is right. Because there are so many times we do what is wrong, we must seize upon the moment. The Lord came so that we would no longer be sinners. But we must answer the question every day: What are we to do with Him? Those who do not love God answer it in such a way as to say, Go away. Not in so many words. But in the way they live their lives and their priorities what they think is important and what they do, they say, Go away. Those who love God, they beg Him to stay. So let us be like the Apostles and answer this question as they did.

    Blessed Bishop Martyr Nykyta Budka The First Bishop of the Ukrainian Catholics in Canada О мій Боже, з глибини моєї душі клонюся перед Твоєю безмежною Величчю. Дякую Тобі за ласки й дари, що ними Ти наділив Твого вірного Слугу Блаженного Мученика Єпископа Никиту. Прошу Тебе, прослав його також славою святого. Благаю Тебе, через його посередництво, уділи мені в своєму Батьківському милосердю ту ласку (намірення), про яку я Тебе покірно молю. Амінь. The first bishop the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Canada was born on September 7, 1877 Dobomirka, Zbarazh District, Ukraine and arrived in Canada on December 19, 1912. On December 22, his investure was held in St. Nicholas Church in the presence of approximately 2000 spiritually uplifted faithful. The bishop initially resided in the Basilian rectory. In January, 1913, a home was purchased for the bishop’s residence to which he moved in March of that year. The tasks for the first bishop were monumental as his diocese stretched from the Pacific to the Atlantic Oceans and encompassed approximately 150 000 Ukrainians and approximately 80 churches and chapels. Initially there were 13 secular priests and 9 monks, including the bishop’s secretary, Rev. Joseph Bala, who accompanied him to Canada, assisting in the service of this wide expanse of faithful and organized communities. The bishop’s work focused mainly on visiting the faithful and organizing new parish communities. Bishop Budka worked hard on the Incorporation Act to legally safeguard church property and wealth which before his arrival was often the cause of misunderstandings and even led to divisions within parishes.

    Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Transfiguration, 629 Mcintosh Street

    Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Transfiguration 629 McIntosh Street Year Built: Completed 1918 Added to Heritage Register: March 2, 2009 Description: This Byzantine-style church is characterized by a cross-shaped plan and the onion domes. Constructed in brick, the church’s façade faces west and the altar is located in the eastern apse. The main and transept roofs are gabled. Over the crossing is an octagonal wooden tower, with an arched window on each face. Surmounted by a large onion dome and topped with a miniature turret, the roof has imitation windows, and a small dome. From this point, a cross rises from an orb. The façade has a one-storey gabled narthex, or entry, with wooden double doors. Above in the main gable of the church is a round window filled with coloured-glass. Two corner towers, square in plan, have wooden octagonal superstructures and conclude in onion domes each peaked with an orb and a cross. The domes are covered on the exterior with galvanized iron and painted silver. On the west side of each tower is a false window outlined in stone with brick corbels below. A stringcourse created by several rows of brick begins on the western towers and continues around the church building. Both the north and south sides of the church are identical with a blind window in the tower and two wider round-arched windows along the nave wall. The stringcourse arches above the windows to emphasize the curve. Each projecting transept has a round arched entrance on the west side with double doors and a fan-shaped transom window filling the arch.
