To embrace all situaꢀons that come your way with your whole heart is a phrase that is used oſten in the wriꢀngs of Blessed Josaphata Hordashevska, co-foundress of the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate.

  • Lubov SSMI Foundaꢀon
  • Caring for the Sick – Holy Family Home

Sisters have been, and conꢀnue to be the heart of the community. One of the ways the Foundaꢀon carries on that commitment to the community is through opportuniꢀes of collaboraꢀon. In September, the Foundaꢀon’s parking lot was once again transformed into a one day Farmers Harvest Market presented by the Canon Luhovy Assembly #0374 Ukrainian Knights of Columbus. Customers flocked from the neighborhood and beyond to get their pick of fresh vegetables, preserves and other goodies.

“When our mother arrived at Holy Family Home there was empꢀness in her eyes. Aſter a while we witnessed an awakening of her spirit, thanks to the compassionate care that she was receiving.”

This statement is one oſten shared by families who have just placed their loved one at Holy Family Home. Any move for elderly people can be difficult. When someone comes to live at Holy Family Home, they can experience a variety of uncomfortable emoꢀons. They may feel unsure and anxious. However, before long, they begin to feel more at ease and peaceful, transforming their experience to a feeling that they are home.
In November/December the Foundaꢀon entered into a new fundraising partnership with Zeevalley Farms from Gilbert Plan, Manitoba. The iniꢀaꢀve featured the sale of small bags of wheat, the key ingredient for making tradiꢀonal Kuꢀa for Christmas dinner.

The Foundaꢀon also opens its doors as a meeꢀng place for community groups. One such group is the Ukrainian Canadian Congress that gathers for its monthly meeꢀngs. We are grateful for how these community opportuniꢀes have helped strengthen the Lubov brand and in turn the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate charism of being the heart of the community.

The New Building C

funds for the Life Love Legacy Capital Campaign in order to expand and revitalize Holy Family Home. The capital project and campaign have entered into the final phase. Upon compleꢀon those living at Holy Family Home will experience an environment that is even more comfortable and comforꢀng. Over the past year many new donor relaꢀonships were formed in support of Holy Family Home through the Capital Campaign and
Life is about relaꢀonships. At the heart of the Lubov Foundaꢀon is the connecꢀon of new relaꢀonships, and the care and growth of exisꢀng relaꢀonships. These relaꢀonships consist because the impact the Sisters have made in the lives of individuals, families and community groups. The Foundaꢀon interacted with 959 donors over the past year generaꢀng 1,546 giſts designated to ministries of the Sisters.

The New Atrium

the Fesꢀval of Lights Annual Appeal.
Thanks to the generosity of many the Foundaꢀon disbursed $724,834 to Holy Family Home. Sharing the story of care at Holy Family Home is another area of priority for the Foundaꢀon. Last fall the Foundaꢀon team developed a partnership with CJNU Radio broadcasꢀng stories featuring Holy Family Home, the Sisters, staff and volunteers.

Educaꢀng the Young – Immaculate Heart of Mary School

"Educate the heart of the people, and serve where the need is greatest."

These words of Blessed Josaphata are put into acꢀon at the school, especially to support students and their families who have chosen a Ukrainian Catholic educaꢀon and have a demonstrated financial need. Sisters’ educaꢀon ministry, Immaculate Heart of Mary School, has always tried to welcome all students and families that want to be educated in an environment that builds on our faith and culture. In April, 2018 the Foundaꢀon created a Bursary Campaign to financially help the needs of families, raising over $11,000.
The Foundaꢀon also conꢀnues to assist Holy Family Home with communicaꢀon internally to family and visitors as well as to the general public. This past year the Foundaꢀon in collaboraꢀon with the leadership of Holy Family Home, installed an informaꢀon display which is regularly updated. Those visiꢀng the 276 residents have an opportunity to find out about the latest developments in regards to the capital project.

Two new major sponsorships were welcomed in support of programs at the School.

Carpathia Credit Union helped save the games by sponsoring the purchase of a new scoreboard for the gymnasium. This extraordinary commitment is in addiꢀon to their annual financial contribuꢀon in support of the School’s operaꢀons.

In 2019, the event featured two special guests from Lviv, Ukraine — Sister Myroslava Yakhymets, Provincial Superior for the Sisters in Ukraine and Sister Eronima Vovchak, Director at the Home of Hope. Over 350 guests at the breakfast heard and saw first hand how the Sisters in Ukraine are able to bring hope, especially to the young women living at the Home of Hope. These young women are given the opportunity to learn life skills, receive an educaꢀon, discover who they are and the many giſts they have. This ministry of the Sisters is impacꢀng lives that might otherwise have no hope. Thank you to
