ENG 2026 Pastoral Letter to Teenagers from Bishop David
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.

Divine Liturgy — 7:00 PM
On this feast, the Church lifts up and venerates the Precious and Life-Giving Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Cross, once a sign of suffering, shame, and death, has become for Christians the sign of Christ’s victory, love, and salvation. The feast recalls the ancient Christian tradition of the discovery of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem by St. Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine, and its solemn veneration by the faithful.
The Cross also reminds us that the Cross and the Resurrection are inseparable. Through His Cross, Christ entered fully into our suffering and death, and through His Resurrection He opened the way to new and eternal life.
As we celebrate this great feast, we are also reminded of the crosses we carry in our own lives. We do not carry them alone: Christ walks with us, and the Cross always points beyond suffering toward the hope of Resurrection.
Please join us for Divine Liturgy at 7:00 PM as we venerate the Holy Cross and proclaim Christ’s victory and Resurrection.
“To Your Cross, O Master, we bow in veneration, and we glorify Your holy Resurrection.”
Божественна Літургія — 19:00
У цей великий празник Церква підносить і почитає Чесний і Животворящий Хрест Господа нашого Ісуса Христа.
Колись хрест був знаком страждання, ганьби та смерті. У Христі він став знаком Божої любові, перемоги та спасіння. Празник Воздвиження пов’язаний із давнім християнським переданням про віднайдення Хреста в Єрусалимі святою Оленою, матір’ю імператора Костянтина, та його урочисте почитання християнами.
Хрест нагадує нам, що Хрест і Воскресіння нероздільні. Через Свій Хрест Христос увійшов у наше страждання і смерть, а через Воскресіння відкрив нам дорогу до нового та вічного життя.
У кожного з нас є свій хрест. Але ми не несемо його самі. Христос іде поруч із нами, а Хрест завжди вказує далі — від страждання до надії, від смерті до Воскресіння.
Запрошуємо разом відсвяткувати цей великий празник Божественною Літургією о 19:00, поклонитися Чесному Хресту та прославити перемогу Христа і Його Воскресіння.
«Христу Твоєму поклоняємось, Владико, і святе Воскресіння Твоє славимо».
September 8
Today the Church celebrates the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, the birth of Mary, the Mother of God. It is a feast of quiet joy, because in the birth of this child we see the dawn of God’s saving plan drawing near.
The Church’s hymnography calls Mary the New Eve. Through Eve, humanity turned away from God; through Mary’s humble “yes,” the way was opened for the Son of God to become human. The troparion beautifully proclaims: “From you dawned the Sun of Righteousness, Christ our God.” Mary is the dawn; Christ is the Light.
The Church also praises the Mother of God as a holy garden and paradise prepared by God, in which the Tree of Life would grow. That Tree is Christ Himself, who came to restore what was lost and to give us eternal life.
Mary’s birth therefore reminds us that God does not abandon His creation or His people. His promises are fulfilled in ways that often begin quietly—in a family, in the birth of a child, in a heart willing to trust Him.
Join us this evening, September 8, at 7:00 PM at Saint Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church as we gather in prayer and thanksgiving to celebrate the Nativity of the Mother of God. Let us rejoice with Joachim and Anna and ask the Mother of God to lead us always closer to her Son, Jesus Christ.
8 вересня
Сьогодні Церква радісно святкує Різдво Пресвятої Богородиці, народження Марії — Матері Божої. Це свято тихої, але великої радості, бо з народженням Діви починає світати світанок Божого спасіння.
У своїх піснеспівах Церква називає Марію Новою Євою. Там, де через непослух Єви людство віддалилося від Бога, через смиренне «Нехай мені станеться» Марії відкривається дорога для приходу Спасителя. Марія — світанок, а Христос — Сонце Правди.
Церква також прославляє Пречисту Діву як святий сад Божий, у якому проростає Дерево Життя — Христос. Він приходить, щоб відновити те, що було втрачене, і дарувати нам життя вічне.
Тому сьогодні радіймо разом із праведними Йоакимом та Анною. Нехай Різдво Богородиці нагадає нам, що Бог не залишає Свого творіння і завжди веде нас до світла Свого спасіння.
Запрошуємо сьогодні, 8 вересня, о 19:00 до храму Святого Миколая на спільну молитву і святкування Різдва Пресвятої Богородиці. Через молитви Пречистої Діви нехай Господь веде кожного з нас ближче до Свого Сина — Ісуса Христа.
