The Holy Supper brings families together to observe ancient customs and traditions, and to eat unique foods, prepared specifically for the occasion.

The meal itself is comprised of twelve courses, in honor of Christ’s Apostles. The courses are meatless and dairy free because the Church requires a period of fasting until Christmas Day.

Dinner tables are typically covered with two embroidered tablecloths, one for ancestors, and the other for living family members. A few wisps of hay may be placed between the tablecloths or underneath the table as a reminder that Christ was born in a manger. An extra place setting is always included at the table for deceased family members. A kolach (Christmas bread) is placed in the center of the table. Three loaves, each braided in a ring, are placed on top of each other, with a candle placed in the center of the topmost bread. The three rings symbolize the Trinity, and the circular form represents Eternity. Traditionally, dinner begins when children see the first star (the star of Bethlehem) followed by prayer.

The special first course is called kutia, also known as God’s Food. This dish is boiled wheat kernels sweetened with honey and flavored with poppy seeds or nuts.

Sviata Vechera - Свята Вечера Різдво Holy Supper on Christmas Eve

All family members are required to partake in the kutia, which symbolizes prosperity in the coming year.

The second course is borsch, a beet soup. Honouring tradition, the soup for this meal is made without meat or meat stock. The meal’s main portion consists of various fish and vegetable dishes. Of course, no special Ukrainian meal would be complete without pyrohy/varenyky.

Prior to dessert, a compote of dried fruits is served. This dish is cooked with honey and may include prunes, apricots, apples, or figs. Dessert is usually an assortment of small, deep-fried pastries known as pampushky, containing various fillings such as poppy seeds or dried fruit.

Since the dinner is a link to centuries of tradition, after the meal, people typically remain seated at the table singing Christmas carols-Kolyadky.

Following this sacred meal the faithful gather in their Holy Churches to praise the Newborn King born in Bethlehem.

TODAY

О хто, хто Миколая любить . . .

Usually people react to the Gospel reading today by

asking: Why do we have to hear all those names

every year? What are these fourteen generations of

names times three? These fourteen generations of

names times three end in Joseph, who is not even the

biological father of the Saviour. People will say:

What is the importance of this? The importance has to

do with the fact of the Promise. In the reading from

the Epistle to the Hebrews, we recall all these

ancestors of Christ who had lived by faith, starting

with Abraham. All these people lived in the hope of

the fulfillment of the Promise of the Lord. The

Promise of the Lord was a Saviour, a Redeemer, and

Life. We have to say, also, that the Promise has to do

with blessing. The whole Promise begins with

Abraham, saying that his descendants are going to be

a blessing on the earth. People are generally taking

the matter of descendants as purely physical

descendants. However, we are counting not only

physical ancestry, but also spiritual ancestry. On the

second Sunday before the Nativity, we pay attention

to the spiritual ancestry of Christ, and today, the

Sunday before the Nativity, the physical ancestry of

Christ is emphasized. We are talking about this life in

faith. We are talking about life in faith, hope, and

trust in God’s love, trust in His Promise of a Saviour,

trust in His Promise of blessing. The people who are

the descendants of Abraham are truly people who have

lived by faith. All those persons whose names we

have heard today are ancestors of Christ, spiritually

speaking, and people who lived with faith in the

fulfillment of the Promise, and trust in the Lord.

Many of these people suffered because of their

confidence in the Lord, His love, and their hope in the

fulfillment. In the Scriptures, there two genealogies of

Christ, one in the Gospel of Luke, the other in the

Gospel of Matthew. Matthew’s genealogy begins with

Abraham. The Lucan genealogy traces the lineage of

Jesus back to Adam. The genealogies definitely

demonstrate that the Saviour did not just appear out of

nowhere (physically speaking). You hear in pagan

mythologies that some people appear out of nowhere.

The Saviour is a human being who comes from an

ancestry that we know. We know where He was born.

We know where He grew up. These are important

details. These ancestors of Christ, these ancestors of

Joseph (who was the foster-father of the Saviour) are

people who prepared the way for Christ by their love,

and by their faithfulness, they made the time of the

Incarnation possible. We are reminded that as human

beings we are both physical and spiritual beings.

Human beings consist of body and soul. This is the

Christian condition. Our faith is all about the love of

God concretely and physically manifested to us. It’s all

about God’s life-giving and saving love. If there is true

spirituality amongst us, it manifests itself in this

wholeness, this unity of spiritual, and physical. Actually,

this was the characteristic Hebrew mentality and

belief—that spirit and the body are inseparable.

Together, they are one. This physical presence of the

Saviour, which is coming with the Incarnation that we

are about to celebrate, is the most important occurrence

that ever could have happened to us. This proves to us

the love of the Lord. Human beings always demand

tangible, concrete proof of everything, and this

included our need for tangible evidences of the love of

God for us, and His physical presence among us. This

is the reason for the Incarnation. This is why we

Christian believers have to show to other people

around us concrete evidence of our hope in Jesus

Christ by how we behave and how we live. No matter

how much people exasperate us, no matter how much

they put us to the test, we have to show them

concretely that we do love them. The incarnational

way the Lord continues to show His love to us is

through the Gospel, itself. The written word about the

Saviour, the Lord’s Promise (and its fulfillment),

those words that are spoken from the Gospel, are

words that are spoken as from the Saviour, Him

self. Because the Gospel is proclaimed in our midst

during the Divine Liturgy,

~THE WAY

Sunday of the Holy Fathers, the Ancestors of Christ (cont’d from previous page)

Family Branch have committed to supporting the Sisters in their mission at the Home of Hope.

For the last two years we held a Fundraising Breakfast in January to raise funds for the general

upkeep of the Home. The 2016 Breakfast will be held on Saturday, March 5th at Holy

Eucharist Parish Centre. Sister Bonifacia, Provincial for SSMI in Ukraine and Sister Julia,

Administrator of the Home of Hope will be in Winnipeg and will be the keynote speakers at the

Breakfast.

With each purchase of an angel the name of your loved one will be hung on the Christmas tree

and will be remembered in prayer during Christmas. We thank you for supporting our charities

by purchasing an angel. Thank-you to Jean Uchach and Evelyn Melnyk for looking after the

sale of the Angels.

UCWLC Grey Cup Raffle

Thank-you to all the parishioners who sold and purchased the Grey Cup tickets. The winners

were printed in the December 6th bulletin. Special thanks to Judy Scraba and Eileen Belinsky for

coordinating the sale of the tickets. The proceeds ($1100.00) from the raffle go to support the

Youth and Catechism program in our Parish. In October we were able to sponsor 5 youth

members from our parish to attend the Archeparchial Convention and in November we

sponsored 4 Holy Family catechists to WCCRE (the Western Conference of Catholic Religious

Educators). On February 6th and March 6th we will be providing refreshments as our Youth will

be hosting a Retreat for the Archeparchial UCY in our parish.

Escorting HOLY FAMILY NURSING HOME Residents to Divine Liturgy

It is our turn to help escort Holy Family Nursing Home residents to Liturgy every Sunday for

the month of January. Once again we are asking our parishioners to help us with this work of

charity. If you are able to volunteer please sign your name on the sign up sheet in the narthex

and indicate which Sunday you are available to help.

UCWLC Caroling for Residents at Holy Family Nursing Home is on Tuesday, January 12,

2016. Caroling begins at 5:00 p.m. followed by a brief service and supper. Our phoning

committee will call to see how many of our members can attend.

UCWLC Annual Meeting and Luncheon will be held on Sunday, January 31, 2016 at 12:00

noon. We are pleased to invite all the ladies in our parish to join us. It will be an opportunity to

get information about the Ukrainian Catholic Women’s League and the outstanding work that

this organization does in our parish, in our Archeparchy (Provincial level and National level), as

well as, internationally. This work is carried out by a very small UCWLC membership at Holy

Family Parish. Since the slate of officers for the annual meeting is finalized, you need not be

afraid to come to this meeting for fear of being coerced to take on a leadership role.

We also invite our catechists to this luncheon as a thank-you for the work they do every Sunday

for the Parish’s Catechetical Ministry.

Perogy Fundraiser Report (cont’d next page)

We have completed our perogy project for 2015 and we wish to thank all the volunteers and the

community that supported us in this effort. We know that some of our parishioners are unable to

devote a week of their time to help out as they are employed during the day and are busy with

their children in the evening. However, we wish to thank them for their contribution in other

ways, such as, peeling potatoes on Sunday after 9:00 a.m. Liturgy, donating pies and for

volunteering their time in other ministries in our parish; catechetical and music ministry,

decorating, serving on Parish Council, etc.

Special thanks go out to the faithful men and ladies who contribute their time to making this

fundraiser such a success. Following are the areas that need our attention for the perogy supper

to happen: the purchase of groceries and supplies, peeling and cutting up the potatoes, peeling

and frying the onions, grating cheese, making the dough, making filling, making potato balls,

pinching, boiling, cooling and packing the perogies, filling orders, preparing Wednesday lunch

and coffee breaks for the volunteers, cutting up pies and getting them ready for the Supper,

preparing refreshments, boiling the perogies and serving them at the Supper, setting the tables

and clearing tables during and after the Supper, washing pots and pans and general clean up of

the hall.

This is a huge undertaking but is a much needed fundraiser in order to help with the expenses of

the parish. Although this project is coordinated by the UCWLC (Ukrainian Catholic Women’s

League) one can see by the above mentioned activity that it would be impossible for the

members of the UCWLC to do this without the help of the rest of the parish members. For this

we are most thankful. We cannot keep up with the demand for perogies but we cannot increase

our production without exhausting our parishioners.

We realized a profit of over $13,000.00 from September till December from the sale of perogies.

We have tried to keep our prices low. However, with the increase in the price of our supplies, it

may be necessary to raise the price in the New Year of our perogies and the price of our tickets

to the Perogy Supper.

Our thanks to Fr. Darren for his encouragement and help (He did wash a huge pile of pots and

pans during the Supper when we were short of help). To all our volunteers and supporters we

wish you a blessed Christmas with your family and friends. May you be blessed with much

health in the New Year and may you find rest and renewed strength so that we can continue our

project in 2016. Our first Perogy Suppers in 2016 are on Fridays, January 29, February 26 and

April 29. There will be no Perogy Supper on March 25 (Good Friday).

UCWLC Sale of Mary’s Angels – Today is the last chance to buy Mary’s Angels. The

proceeds from the sale of Angels will go to support the Marian Hour and the Home of Hope in

Lviv, Ukraine. The Home of Hope is a Safe House administered by the Sisters of Mary

Immaculate for orphaned girls who must leave the Orphanage at age 16. With no family, no life

skills and no place to go, they fall prey to traffickers. The Sisters provide a safe home for 22 –

24 girls where they are taught life skills and have an opportunity to go to school and obtain a

career. The UCWLC Archeparchy of Winnipeg along with all the UCWLC Branches including

buttons sold at $1 ea after each Divine Liturgy up until Christmas.

Let’s end the “politically Correct” debate once and for all.

Back on Feb. 27th, we had a beautiful

service and prayed for Peace in Ukraine.

That same evening, we lit a special candle

that has been burning since. On Dec. 13th

Evhen and Nazar Visnytsya visited Holy

Family Church (from our Cathedral) with

the Bethlehem Peace light and re-lit this

candle. This light was brought all the way

from Bethlehem to Winnipeg. In the

Church of the Nativity (in Bethlehem),

there burns a flame at the site of Christ’s

birth. This flame (kept lit for centuries) is

the Bethlehem Peace Light - symbolizing

peace, love, and goodness. Christian

nations, from around the world, take turns

donating the oil to ensure that this Peace

Light is never extinguished. It is said that in

the 12th century a crusader brought home a

gift of the Peace Light for his family to

share this great goodness. We are extending

an invitation to our Parishioners to also

take advantage and use the Bethlehem

Peace Light to light your own candles or

lantern at the end of one of our liturgies,

take it home safely and to share and use it

during your Christmas Eve dinner and other

family holiday celebrations. We will keep a

green vigil candle a lit on the tetrapod

(service table up at the front) from which

you can light your own candle or lantern.

OSBM, all are welcome to attend.

If you wish to offer a GIFT OF LOVE TO THE CLERGY this Christmas, please use the envelope in your boxed set or the envelope (located in the narthex of the church). These offerings are shared between your pastor and the Archbishop (50% each). If you use a cheque, please make it out in the name of the parish priest. As it is a free will offering, no tax receipt will be issued. .

. Please Note: There will be two collections on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The first collection will be for the Church and the

second collection will be for the gift of love (Дар Любов).

Christmas is the season of celebrating the fact that God became man and descended into the world. Christmas is a celebration of faith, hope, love, joy, peace

on earth and good will among all people. What is the sense of all the gifts, the Christmas trees and the colourful lights in our homes if we cannot love each other

and reach out to touch someone who is in distress or lonely in life? The best gift that we can give to someone is the love of God, a total and unconditional love. How joyful and grateful we should feel with the coming of Christ Our God into the world. Come,

let us rejoice in Him. Rejoice, Christ is born, and God is revealed amongst us.

Update - 2015 Seminary Special Collection Appeal

For 2015 our parish has been assessed $3,011. As of December 6th, our seminary collection is $2,600, leaving a shortfall of $411. We are almost there!

At this time of year thousands of

people are falling over one another in

various stores in the vain attempt of

getting “the perfect gift” for their

loved ones and they’re willing to give

almost anything to get it. Yet, so

often that gift is not really

appreciated because we so often give

gifts to people who least need them.

The tragedy is that this gift would be

much more appreciated by the really

poor in some other part of the world

or probably by someone even not

very far away.

Let us remember that the really

significant gifts cannot be bought.

We cannot purchase acts of virtue,

such as faith, love and trust. Children

cannot buy the love of their parents.

True and lasting friendship cannot be

bought, at least not with money or

earthly goods. The elderly cannot buy

tolerance and understanding if it is

not forthcoming voluntarily. The

lonely cannot buy compassion of

s o m e o n e w h o w i l l l i s t e n

sympathetically to what they have to

say. Money cannot buy you a teacher

who will really give of herself or

himself in order to teach their class

the best way possible.

Many of us give presents at

Christmas. This year let us consider

giving that which our materialistic

society needs most - acts of virtue

and kindness that can be obtained

in no other way except through

voluntary giving and sacrifice of

self.

THAT CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!

decorate our Church for the Christmas

CHRISTMAS PREPARATION

ПІДГОТОВКА ДО

РІЗДВЯНИХ СВЯТ

The three most important components to any period of spiritual preparation are surely: Prayer, Fasting and Acts of Charity. By prayer we communicate continuously with our Lord - seeking to better know God and to perfectly attune our will His holy Will. Fasting shows our willingness to cast off all those unnecessary things that distract us, numb us, lull us into sleep, corrupt us or over satiate us with the things of this world and, thus, open ourselves to the grace with which God wants to fills us. Acts of Charity give us a chance to "put our money where our mouth is". By charitable actions - almsgiving, visiting the sick and lonely, being kind to all around us, etc., we start to live-out the Gospel rather than just claiming that it is the Word of God and the "rule" that Jesus gave for all of us to follow. Keep in mind that our preparation for Christmas should truly lend ourselves to a complete renewal... By the grace of God, this could and should be a Christmas like no other! Let us prepare by striving to understand what Christ's coming into the world means - especially for me. Let us reconcile ourselves to God through Confession It is easy to be swept away by all the trappings of the season, but the believer must not lose the infinite worth found in Christ, in all the paltry tin of secular add-ons. As you prepare your home this season, be sure preparation is made to spend time with your savior through meditation on His word and prayer, for no heart is as full as the heart that is filled with Christ.
