St. Michael s Ukrainian Orthodox Parish Soul Saturday Memorial Service March 7, 2015 During the Easter Lent, every Saturday is Soul Saturday. This is a time to remember the deceased. St. Michael s Parish focuses on the first Saturday of Lent. Parish members and the general public are encouraged to attend this special service commemorating their loved ones. If they wish, they could bring kolachi, apples, oranges, grapes, or pears to be blessed. This is called pomana. The names of their loved ones is recorded in a little booklet called a pomyanek or on a sheet of paper. This is given to the priest to read out the names during the service and then again at the special memorial held at the end of the service a panaheda.
Page 2 Coffee and tea is available in the hall following the service. Everyone brings their pomana into the hall, cuts the kolach and some of the fruit and a memorial lunch is shared with everyone. Some pomana is given away to a relative or a friend in memory of their loved one. As long as we continue to pray and remember the deceased, their soul and memory will live in peace forever. The Knyhynia Ol ha Branch have a large plaque with the names of all their deceased members. This plaque is brought into the church and all the names are read out. May their memory be eternal. D. Stachniak President, Knyhynia Ol ha Branch
St Michael s Men s Society President s Report by Ron Kluchka Now that the snow is melting and the rabbits are turning brown, hopefully the cold weather is behind us and we can enjoy some warmer weather and sunshine. I would like to wish one and all, a Happy Easter. We will soon be sitting down to eat our paska, babkas, kubasa, eggs, cheese & horseradish. Enjoy your time with family and friends and for those who are travelling, have a safe & enjoyable journey. Many thanks to all the volunteers that contributed and helped make our February puschinia a success. A huge thank you goes out to the wonderful people who volunteered and worked the bingos in the last two months. Your time means funds in the church s bank account. Greatly appreciated are the efforts of the gentlemen who looked into and helped solve the snow blowing problem and to those who are now working on resolving the air circulation problem in the auditorium. Thank you to those that have been attending the Men s Society bi-monthly meetings. The next bi-monthly meeting will be held on April 6 th at 7:00 p.m. and I hope that all members will attend. Thank you, Rev. Fr. Nicholas Orest Rauliuk for your continued blessings and guidance. Христос Воскрес! Воістину Воскрес! Christ Is Risen! Truly He Is Risen!
