Dear Brothers and Sisters In Christ: Slava Icusu Hrystu! Glory to Jesus Christ! Welcome to All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church. On the occasion of this our 25th Anniversary I welcome you to our parish which is a member of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. Orthodox Christians believe that Jesus is the human way God chose to get close to us, to pull us up beside Him, to put His arms around us and say, "I love you." Dr. Otto N all, a former Methodist of Minnesota, said once, "Orthodoxy stresses love . . . if Roman Catholic Christianity is the religion of 'law'~ and the Protestant Christianity is the religion of'faith', then Orthodox Christianity is the religion of 'love', that shines through all its life." "So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love." (I Cor. 13:13) To experience this love I invite you to witness the presence of the resurrected Christ in our worship service - the Divine Liturgy. Orthodox worship services appeal to the whole man through the five senses: sight - through the visual beauty of the icons (religious paintings) and vestments. smell - through the use of incense. sound- through the music of the Orthodox Liturgy and various Sacraments. taste - through the Sacrament of Holy Communion. touch - by crossing oneself, kissing the icons and lighting candles. A great deal of labour, sacrifice and love was offered for the building of this parish which is dedicated unto the service of God. It stands as a monument to the Ukrainian Canadian pioneers, who answered the call of a new land, far from their oppressed homeland; and who so diligently guarded the spiritual gifts of this faith and this culture for the benefit of their children and for the enrichment of Canada. With Christian Greetings in the love of Jesus Christ, Rev. Bohdan Demczuk - Parish Priest -2- ALL SAINTS UKRAUaANORTHODOXCHURCH

All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church features the traditional Hutzul architecture of the Carpathian Mountain Region of Western . The architect, Norman Soto of Mid-Canada Consultants Ltd., with the assistance of parish members, imaginatively developed the design of the church, while the contractor, Ivan Haluzan of Eagle Construction Ltd., skillfully executed its construction. Contoured landscaping with large evergreens and birch trees provides a setting reminiscent of the mountainous region of Ukraine. The assembly area of the Church, with its arched laminated beams and knotty cedar finish on the ceiling and exposed dome, has excellent acoustics and provides a very spacious and truly inspirational place of worship. The railing of the choir loft and of the stairway leading to it is carved in a traditional Ukrainian design. Normal seating capacity is for 300 people but this can be increased to 400 if the overflow area is utilized. A glassed-in nursery, an office and a washroom for the handicapped have also been provided on the main floor. In addition to meeting the spiritual needs of its members, the church also conducts educational and cultural programs in the attractive auditorium in the lower main. This area, which has a seating capacity for 275 people and which includes a fully equipped modern kitchen, also serves as a banquet room. Adequate land is available at the site to allow for the building of both a church manse and an auditorium at a later date. Membership a tAll Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church increases year by year as the congregation provides an opportunity for spiritual growth and community awareness through its respective organizations: - All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Sunday School - All Saints Ukrainian School - Hanka Romanchych Branch of the Ukrainian Women's Association of Canada - Junior and Senior Branches of the Ukrainian Orthodox Youth of Canada (C.Y.M.K.) - Ukrainian Tryzub Society Inc. - All Saints Altar Boys Association - Sts. Boris and Hlib Ukrainian Orthodox Brotherhood

FLASHBACKS AND TRIBUTES The organization of All Saints Ukrainian Greek-Orthodox Con­ gregation and the eventual building of All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church is attributed to the Grace of God, to the faithful adherents of the Ukrainian Greek-Orthodox Church of Canada, the hierarchy and faithful clergy. The need for expansion of religious, educational, cultural and social

activities of the Ukrainian\ Orthodox people was felt as far back as 1955 as people from rural areas and young families moved to Saskatoon. Membership at Holy Trinity Ukrainian Greek-Orthodox Cathedral increased year by year. In 1966 Very Reverend Frank Kernisky proposed the possibility of organizing a new congregation and acquiring land for a second church. In 1967 Holy Trinity Ukrainian Greek-Orthodox Cathedral purchased six lots of land on the northeast corner of Louise Street and 800 East Centre for the purpose of constructing a church. A planning committee, formed in 1968 and approved in 1969, made a comprehensive study of the requirements of a new congregation. The survey indicated a need to form another congregation.
