On this day we celebrate the same thing we celebrate on Great and Holy Thursday. The breaking of the bread and the pouring of the wine. This is the day in which Christ took the bread and wine into His precious, most pure and immaculate hands, gave thanks, blessed and sanctified them. He gave them to His Holy Apostles. He turned the bread and the wine into His Body and Blood, thus creating the first Holy Communion. It was on this day that Jesus Christ said that he who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. So let us take this as a reminder today, that each time we receive Holy Communion at the Divine Liturgy, we are not receiving bread and wine. We are in fact receiving the living Body and Blood of Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We are receiving eternal life. This is also why we always cross ourselves, bow and venerate to the front of the church whenever we enter the church, or cross sides of the church, or enter a pew. We are venerating Jesus Christ whose Body and Blood is always present in the tabernacle on the altar in the sanctuary. In fact many people cross themselves whenever passing a church where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved.

Thank you to all of you where able to attend breakfast at Pembina Village Restaurant last T h u r s d a y, i n celebration of my 20th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. It was a real pleasure and a joyful moment seeing parishioners from other parishes that I have served in the past. I am thankful for your attendance support and prayers. May God bless you and your families with good health, happiness and above all holiness. - Fr Darren Kawiuk Club 55+ Seniors - Message from the President I wish to personally thank all the volunteers involved for supporting and helping with the Senior s Dances and all those afternoon meetings. These events couldn t have been a success without the help from you who donated the time. You have made a difference! A special thanks to Vicky Adams and UCWLC for all their help and support when called upon. Thank you for all that you do! Yes we have faithful volunteers from our parish but what is troubling me is that we have little support of our parishioners participating in our dances. For the September 16th Dance let s see more of our parishioners out at the dance. Dancing can definitely add excitement to your day, where you can get fit while having fun. Have a safe and happy summer! See you in September. - Stella Hyska

SUMMER HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US - ЛІТНІЙ ВАКАЦІЇ Thank you to all parish organizations, the many volunteers that were able to give of their time and hard work in organizing the many events through out the year. Your good works are very much appreciated! Working together makes a difference! May the Lord bless you a hundred fold! Have a safe summer holiday, however there is no break in attending Sunday Divine Liturgy. - Fr Darren Kawiuk Making It Personal Be merciful, just as (also) your Father in Heaven is merciful. "Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you." Luke 6:36-38 We are used to hearing "forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us" in the Our Father. Here Jesus spells those trespasses out: Be merciful. Stop judging. Stop condemning. Forgive. Give to overflowing. In the grocery store, on the bus or on the phone, how often do we commit these trespasses? These specifics remind us to pay attention to how we act every day. What makes it humbling is to think of how often God forgives us for mercilessness, condemnation, judgment, lack of forgiveness, stinginess. In other words, for the very things we want to withhold. Jesus makes it personal. That is what it's all about: relationship, person-toperson with Jesus and with every member of his family. Which is to say, everyone.
Maintenance Report - Holy Family Parish Maintenance work needs to be done on a routine basis to protect users of a building and to assure a long life for the building. Its goal is a minimum of unexpected repairs for buildings, grounds, and equipment. A wisely implemented preventative maintenance program, designed to correct each problem as it occurs, is more cost effective than waiting until the problem reaches a magnitude where special contracts and large expenditures are required to correct it. Unfortunately over the years we have neglected addressing maintenance issues that were long over due. Much of the expense for maintenance this past fiscal year has been related to the ordinary upkeep of our buildings. We are slowly trying to address a number of deferred maintenance projects as funds become available. This list is not inclusive of all the maintenance projects undertaken by the parish, but is intended to give you an idea of the costs involved to properly maintain our parish and grounds. The maintenance improvement projects is expected to be completed this summer at a cost of $48,548 as follows: 1. Church Entrance/Steps remove and replace damaged concrete with inter locking bricks - $2,600 2. Church entrance - remove and install aluminum handrail - $2,400 3. Remove and replace side door - $3,300 4. Remove and replace back door - $1,500 5. Insulate, replace windows, and a new façade for the west wall - $28,000 6. Install air condition unit in the parish and offices - $4,000 7. Soffit and fascia west side of building - $2,700 8. Commercial Dishwasher - $4,048 9. Windows scraped and painted north side of church - pending estimate 10. Purchased Bicycle Rack -$418 - $200 donation Carpathia C U - $218 Hopefully this information helps to show you that we are practicing good stewardship. I wish to thank the Pastoral Council and Fr Darren for their due diligence in support of these projects. Have a wonderful safe and adventurous summer! 2 - Dan Myk, Maintenance Chairperson

LETTER FROM HIS BEATITUDE SVIATOSLAV "Ukraine is on Pilgrimage Thank you for Walking With Us" To Catholic Bishops Conferences, priests, religious and the faithful of the Church. To All Christians and People of good will that stand in solidarity with Ukraine Dear Brothers and Sisters! Over the last six months many of you have closely followed events in Ukraine - dramatic, sometimes tragic, but ultimately life-giving. After a century of genocidal experiences and decades of rampant corruption and crushing social injustice, the Ukrainian nation has been on an extended, inspired pilgrimage from fear and fraud to dignity and integrity. Through frigid winter months millions of people filled the squares of our cities and also your cities to manifest their desire for a better life. All Ukrainian Churches and religious organizations stood together. For months with one voice they insisted that the president and government respect their citizens, that violence is not the answer, that dividing society and the country is immoral, and that dialogue is the only legitimate manner to resolve the political and social crisis. We are grateful for this prophetic unity to all our brothers and sisters in faith, to Roman Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims and especially the Orthodox Churches of Ukraine. The Churches were united, as were people of different ethnic backgrounds, languages, and social classes. In the last weeks the unprecedented consolidation and overwhelming consensus in the country was expressed in the presidential elections. Petro Poroshenko was elected in one round with 55% of the vote in a field of 21 candidates. 85% voted for candidates that support a democratic and European option for the country. Today the overwhelming majority of citizens Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians, Poles, Jews, Tatars, Armenians, Georgians, and other ethnic and religious groups stand united against the terrorist violence and overt military aggression from abroad. They are horrified by the annexation of Crimea and the conflict in the eastern part of the country inspired and supported by foreign Special Forces. This is the biggest challenge facing Ukraine and Europe today. During these months of pilgrimage from fear to dignity your moral and spiritual solidarity has been crucial for citizens of Ukraine and for our Churches. On behalf of our clergy and the faithful we would like to thank you for your abiding prayer and various works of charity that you conducted. We have addressed a singular expression of gratitude to His Holiness
Pope Francis who has supported with prayer and exhortation the yearning for peace and justice in Ukraine. What happened in Ukraine has been truly miraculous. Transforming grace poured down upon the people of our country. The pure sacrifice of new Ukrainian martyrs, the fervent supplication of millions of people on the Maidans, and the prayer of the global community of Catholics, Christians of different denominations, and people of good will of different faiths brought forth an abundance of transfiguring blessings. Today, Ukraine is a different country; it is a renewed society. Your contribution to this rebirth is vital. We are profoundly grateful for you efforts to inform your communities about the true nature of developments in our country, countering the disinformation directed against Ukraine and its Churches, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in particular. In recent days we see how this campaign has been escalated by certain political and spiritual authorities at the highest level that share an aggressive tone and modality of dissimilation. The dignity that Ukrainians yearn for is not first and foremost material. They seek a God-given dignity, a respect for their very being. Their right for selfdetermination, territorial integrity, cultural and especially ecclesial tradition has been violated brutally in the past and is demeaned today. In the face of systemic corruption, governmental repression, and intolerable social conditions millions of Ukrainians demonstrated peacefully, forging an ever-stronger inter-ethnic, inter-confessional, and inter-cultural solidarity. Ukraine is home to scores of peoples and religions that stand together. It is a revived civil society defending its country and the common good. Together Ukrainian citizens are saying no to tyranny, lawlessness, violence and irresponsibility personal and social, internal and external, domestic and international. We ask you to continue your prayer for peace in Ukraine, for peace and reconciliation built on justice. As Christians we believe that every person that demonstrates solidarity with the suffering will be blessed and will receive abundant graces from God. The Lord bestows dignity by blessing; your benediction of Ukraine is transformative. Your blessings help transfigure a people on pilgrimage. On behalf of the members of the Permanent Synod of Bishops of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Meeting in Kyiv, 4 6 June 2014 +SVIATOSLAV Major Archbishop of Kyiv-Halych
