November 19, 2018 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Glory to Jesus Christ! Traditionally on or around Feast of St. Andrew, the first called Apostle (November 30) our parishes in the entire Ukrainian Catholic Church have a special collection for needs of pastoral ministry of His Beatitude Sviatoslav. St. Andrew’s Pence Collection unites us in solidarity with His Beatitude Sviatoslav, Father and Head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church and his works of charity to those in need. Your generosity allows His Beatitude Sviatoslav to respond to our suffering brothers and sisters in the world. The purpose of St. Andrew’s Pence Collection is to provide Patriarch Sviatoslav with the financial means to respond to those who are suffering as a result of war, oppression, and natural disaster, and help our faithful in the Eastern Ukraine, Siberia and Kazakhstan. As Christians, we are called to look beyond ourselves and be of service to others, especially the less fortunate among us! Let us help His Beatitude Sviatoslav find those who need our help and assistance. Thank you for standing in solidarity with His Beatitude through your generosity. Please continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in faith who are facing adversity. Please give generously to St. Andrew’s Pence Collection in your parish! Sincerely yours,
+Bohdan J. Danylo Bishop of St. Josaphat Eparchy

AKATHIST TO THE THEOTOKOS
Enroll in the Akathist Prayer Group:
For our Parish & its Missions For our Bishop, Eparchy, & Church
For Priestly, Diaconal, & Monastic Vocations For Christian Marriages
Please contact the parish, indicating which day (days) of the week you would like to take.
Our goal is to have at least one person or family praying the Akathist every day.
“The joy of praising Mary with the Akathist Hymn [is] so dear to the Eastern tradition. It is a song centered on Christ, contemplated in the light of his Virgin Mother…. We have retraced the stages of her life and offered praise for the marvels worked in her by the Almighty: from the virginal conception, the beginning and principle of the new creation, to her divine motherhood, to her sharing in her Son's mission, especially the moments of his passion, death and resurrection. Mother of the risen Lord and Mother of the Church, Mary goes before us and leads us to genuine knowledge of God and to the encounter with the Redeemer. She indicates the way to us and shows us her Son. In celebrating her with joy and gratitude, we honor the holiness of God, whose mercy has worked marvels in his humble handmaid. We greet her with the title Full of Grace and implore her intercession for all the children of the Church, which celebrates her glory with this Akathist Hymn.”
Pope St. John Paul II

Saturday: 5:00 pm
Eve of Feasts: 6:00 pm Followed by the Divine Liturgy
“Where such practice of celebrating the Divine Praises with the people has diminished, if not completely disappeared, the ancient tradition should be restored without delay, so as not to deprive the faithful of a privileged source of prayer, nourished by treasures of authentic doctrine…. Calling upon the time when the Divine Praises were upheld with special care in the East, not only by the monastic communities, but also by the parishes, the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches reminds us of the obligation—often easily forgotten or abandoned—to celebrate them in the cathedrals, parishes, rectoral churches, religious communities and seminaries.”

THE WORD OF GOD
Each parish and mission community is called by our bishops to “establish … groups for the prayerful study of Sacred Scriptures,” and to “encourage the faithful in the practice of prayerfully reading the Sacred Scriptures themselves or within their family circle.”
Scripture studies on Wednesday evenings are available through internet live stream and conference call, giving you the opportunity to read, study, and pray the scriptures with others from the convenience of your homes.
Would you like to establish a scripture study group at your parish or mission? Contact us.

“I think that John’s Gospel…is the firstfruits of the Gospels...We might dare say that the Gospels are the firstfruits of all Scripture but that the firstfruits of the Gospels is that according to John whose meaning no one can understand who has not leaned on Jesus’ breast or received Mary from Jesus to be his mother also.” – Origen of Alexandria, 184-253, A.D.
