In this area, only the child possesses genuine rights: the right ‘to be the fruit of the specific act of the conjugal love of his parents,’ and ‘the right to be respected as a person from the moment of his conception.’” — Catechism of the Catholic Church 2378 St. Nicholas Messenger P a g e | 3 Page 3 Ukrainian Luncheon…..September 14th On Sunday, September 14th, the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross we will be holding another Ukrainian Luncheon at the Cary C.

Starting on August 1st through August 14th we prepare for the Feast of the Dormition of our most Holy Theotokos with the Dormition Fast. Let us use this opportunity to pray for those less fortunate than ourselves. In addition to prayer and our own fasting, please consider if you can financially help by donating to Birthchoice or the Brown Bag Ministries. There will be special envelopes in the Narthex during the fast to take up collections to Birthchoice and a basket to collect food donations for the Brown Bag Ministries. Thank you!!!

P a g e | 4 St. Nicholas Messenger HONORING HER WHO SHOWS THE WAY SUMMER, IN OUR WORLD AT LEAST, is a time for sun and fun: cookouts, the beach, pool parties, and the like. Yet in the midst of summer – in the week which has been compared to the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning –we are called to fast. The first two weeks of August are observed in the Byzantine Churches as the Fast of the Theotokos, in preparation for the Feast of her Dormition on August15. In the early Church the Dormition Fast was generally observed in both East and West. Pope St. Leo the Great mentioned it in the mid-fifth century in connection with the seasons of the year: “The Church fasts are situated in the year in such a way that a special abstinence is prescribed for each time. Thus, for spring there is the spring fast, the Forty Days [Great Lent]; for summer there is the summer fast… [the Apostles’ fast]; for autumn there is the autumn fast, in the seventh month [Dormition fast]; for winter there is the winter fast [Nativity fast].” Today the Coptic, Malankara, and Syriac Churches, as well as the Byzantine, continue to observe this 14-day fast period. In the Armenian and Maronite traditions the Fast lasts for one week rather than two. In the traditional calendar of the Roman Church, August 14 is observed as a day of fasting in preparation for this feast. This Fast period is one of several aspects of this celebration which has earned it the title of the “summer Pascha,” a feast pointing to the ultimate resurrection of all flesh at the last day. Just as the feast of Christ’s resurrection is paired with the feast of the Annunciation (March 25), the Dormition is paired with the feast of Christ’s Holy Transfiguration (August 6). As Pascha is preceded by the Holy Friday evening observance of the Burial of Christ, the Dormition is marked in many places by a comparable burial service for the Theotokos when lamentations patterned after the Holy Week hymns are sung. In some places a burial shroud (epitaphios) with the image of the Dormition is carried in procession as well. The Paraclisis to theTheotokos In the Byzantine Churches of the Mediterranean world the most prominent feature of the Dormition Fast is the celebration of the Paraclisis to the Theotokos, a service invoking the Virgin’s intercession for those we commemorate during the service. It is said that, as the Virgin sensed her approaching death, she prayed continually for her Son’s disciples and for those who would believe their message. And so, as the feast of her Dormition draws near, we ask her prayers for our Church and our loved ones with a similar intensity. The Paraclisis to the Theotokos is patterned in part on Orthros (Matins), There is an opening psalm, troparia, a Gospel reading, and a canon, concluding with an incensing of the whole church and a solemn veneration of the Virgin’s icon. Intercessory litanies for those whom we are commemorating are interspersed throughout the service. There are actually two canons used which give their names to the service as a whole. The Small Paraclisis includes the older canon, composed in the ninth century by Theosterictus the Monk. This Paraclisis may be used at any time throughout the year. The Great Paraclisis, which is only sung during the Dormition Fast, was St. Nicholas Messenger P a g e | 5 Page 5 composed in the thirteenth century by the Emperor Theodore II Ducas Lascaris, in exile during the Fourth Crusade.

  • June 12, 2015 Protocol Number: 96/15 S Dear Brothers and Sisters
    June 12, 2015 Protocol Number: 96/15 S Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma has had its finances audited by an outside accounting firm, Simic CPA & Co., since 2011, which produces the financial statements of the Eparchy. I am pleased to publish the latest financial statements, for the year 2014, on the Eparchy’s website to help the faithful gain a clear understanding of the Eparchy’s financial state. I am also publishing alongside the financial statements a letter from Father Steven Paliwoda, the Eparchy’s Financial Officer, to explain many items in the financial statements in detail. I encourage you to read Father Steven’s letter in conjunction with the financial statements. It is important for the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma to be a good steward of the gifts entrusted to it, and transparent about its finances. Having our finances audited by an independent accounting firm, and publishing our financial statements online and sending them to all of our parishes, puts the Eparchy amongst the most financially transparent Catholic dioceses in the world. In the same way, it is also very important for each parish to be transparent in its finances and accountable to the faithful, who support the Church and for whom the Church exists to serve. I would like to make the following general observations about the financial state of the Eparchy. The Eparchy’s Financial Situation Continues to Improve, but is Still Precarious. During the years 2011-2013, the Eparchy paid about half of its debts.

The Ukrainian Catholic Church is one of several Eastern Catholic Churches that enjoy the same dignity, rights, and obligations as the Latin Church. Eastern Catholic Churches have distinctive liturgical and legal systems that reflect the national or ethnic character of their region of origin. Eparchies and archeparchies in the Eastern Catholic Church are akin to dioceses and archdioceses in the Latin Church.
