Join us every Wednesday for the Weekly Divine Liturgy at our parish, a beautiful opportunity for worship, reflection, and community bonding in the heart of our spiritual life. This midweek service allows our congregation to come together to deepen our faith, find solace in prayer, and connect.
The Divine Liturgy is the central act of worship in the Ukrainian Catholic tradition. It is a sacred celebration where we gather as a community to honour and remember the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. During this service, we participate in the Holy Eucharist, which is the foundation of our faith and a source of spiritual nourishment.
Wednesdays are particularly special, offering a pause in the week for spiritual renewal and connection with God. Whether you are a longtime member of our parish or a newcomer seeking a spiritual home, you are warmly invited to join us for this uplifting experience.
Our Weekly Divine Liturgy on Wednesdays is designed to be accessible and welcoming for everyone, including families and individuals of all ages. We encourage parents to bring their children, as this is a wonderful opportunity to instill the values of faith and community from a young age.
The atmosphere during the Divine Liturgy is warm and inviting, creating a sense of belonging for all attendees. We strive to make every participant feel at home, allowing them to engage fully in the worship experience.
We invite you to make the Weekly Divine Liturgy on Wednesdays a part of your spiritual journey.
This midweek gathering offers a unique chance to recharge spiritually, reflect on the Word of God, and connect with fellow parishioners. Through prayer, music, and shared faith, we can support one another in our journeys of faith.
The Nativity Moleben is a special prayer service in the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), celebrated during the Nativity Fast (St. Philip’s Fast) from November 15 to December 24. It is a paraliturgical service of intercession and thanksgiving, not a substitute for the Divine Liturgy, designed to help the faithful prepare spiritually for Christ’s birth.
The service typically includes:
Canon: Nine-ode hymns based on biblical canticles.
Psalmody and supplications.
Brief Gospel passages (optional).
A popular variant, the Emmanuel Moleben, emphasizes “God with us” and the fulfillment of prophecy.
The Nativity Moleben nurtures devotion, focuses hearts on the Incarnation, and complements the Nativity Fast, reflecting the shared Byzantine heritage of the UGCC and Orthodox Churches.
