Дорогі в Христі!

Наша Великопісна подорож приводить нас на поріг найурочистішого тижня у
церковному літургійному році. Страсний тиждень зміцнює нашу надію і віру. Він
закликає нас йти пліч-о-пліч з нашим Спасителем в останні дні Його земного
служіння, згадуючи дорогу на Голгофу, смерть у Страсну п'ятницю і радість в День
Воскресіння.
  Я запрошую Вас і Ваші родини, щоб у спільній молитві подякувати Богові
за Його любов до нас, та за перемогу і мир в Україні.
Складаю глибоку вдячність за Вашу доброту і щедрість. Нехай Воскреслий
Христос благословить Вас і дарує всього найкращого у Вашому житті.

Dear in Christ!
Our Lenten journey has brought us to the threshold of the most solemn week of
our liturgical year. Holy Week strengthens our hope and our faith. It invites us to walk
side by side with our Savior during the last days of His earthly ministry, recalling His
painful walk to Calvary, His death on Good Friday and the joy on the Resurrection Day.
I invite you and your families to pray together as a faith community to give thanks
to God for His love for us and for victory and peace in Ukraine.

Deepest thanks to you for your kindness and generosity. May our Risen Christ
bless you all and give you all the best in yours life.

Easter 2023
Fr. Mykola Dovzhuk
