THE RELOCATION OF HOLY SPIRIT UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC SEMINARY
When the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies announced several years ago its plan to relo-cate to the University of Saint Michael College in the University of Toronto, the Ukrainian Catholic Bishops of Canada, who constitute the Seminary Board of Directors, began a process of discernment, together with the Seminary Rector, regarding the implications for the Seminary.
The first question centered on the academic formation of our seminarians which until recently had been ensured through the theology programs at Ottawa's Saint Paul University and the Eastern theological programs provided by the Sheptytsky Insti-tute affiliated with St. Paul University. Enquiries were made regarding the Sheptytsky Institute's new academic arrangements with St. Michael's College in Toronto. Information was also received regarding programs offered at Ottawa's St. Paul Univer-sity, now without the participation of the Sheptytsky Institute. Discussions were also held with other academic centers, includ-ing those available at several institutions in Edmonton AB.
The second question centered on a physical home for the Seminary. The present building in Ottawa could still be used if the Seminary remained in Ottawa, but as an older building it has been subject to ever increasing repairs over the years. Much time was spent visiting possible locations in the Toronto area. There the difficulty was finding a building suitable for the Seminary needs, within a reasonable travel distance to St. Michael's College and at a feasible price. The cost was clearly of concern even when considering the sale of the Ottawa location.
A third option arose when the Basilian Fathers vacated their House of Studies in Edmonton, with the possibility of a lease or purchase agreement with the Seminary.
Invoking the divine help of the Holy Spirit, the patron of the Seminary, the bishops conducted much prayer and reflection in order to come to a decision, fully aware of the stages of formation of the present seminarians and the good will of many organi-zations and individuals desirous for the best outcome for the Seminary. The bishops have also been sensitive to the concerns of the faithful of each eparchy who provide the funding essential to the running and maintenance of the Seminary, notwithstand-ing the decline in parish memberships and slow depletion of available finances.
With all this in mind, the bishops, as the Seminary Board of Directors, have decided to enter into a lease agreement with the Basilian Fathers (Order of St. Basil the Great) for their House of Studies in Edmonton AB, which will provide space suitable for the Seminary, including chapel, kitchen and dining room, library and study rooms, and rooms for the seminarians and staff. Seminarians will pursue a Master of Divinity program at Newman Theological College.
In addition, internet and online educational opportunities are also available to our seminarians, in particular with the Sheptytsky Institute, providing ever increasing dimensions to seminary formation.
In Sacred Scripture, we find various examples of journeys undertaken by the people of God in response to the call of the Lord, be it Abraham and Moses in the Old Testament, or the Holy Family in the New Testament. So too, Holy Spirit Seminary will now undertake a new direction in its pilgrim journey as a sacred institution, which we discern to be the call of the Lord not only to the staff and seminarians, but also to the clergy and faithful of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Canada. And so, with the prayer from the Divine Liturgy we pray: "Let us go forth in peace. In the name of the Lord!"
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
+ Lawrence Huculak, OSBM, Metropolitan Archbishop of Winnipeg + David Motiuk, Eparchial Bishop of Edmonton + Stephen Chmilar, Eparchial Bishop of Toronto + Ken Nowakowski, Eparchial Bishop of New Westminster + Bryan Bayda, C.Ss.R., Eparchial Bishop of Saskatoon

On the occasion of Mother’s Day, Fr John and the Parish Pastoral Council wishes all our mothers good health, long life, and the Lord’s choicest
blessings. May the Holy Spirit guide you through-out your lifetime. May the Holy Mother of God
guard and protect you from all evil.
MANY HAPPY & BLESSED YEARS!
На Многая Літа!
NOTE: Please remember that from Resurrection Sunday up to Ascension Thursday, we stand to pray.
Sts. Peter & Paul Church will be celebrating Fr. Darren Kawiuk’s 25th Anniversary of Priesthood on Saturday, June 8, 2019. There will be a special Divine Liturgy with Metropolitan Lawrence Huculak at 4:00 pm, followed by an Anniversary Banquet in our Parish centre at 6:00 pm. Tickets for the
Banquet are $25.00 per adult and children under 12 years are free. Tickets can be purchased from Zenon Scraba after Divine Liturgy or call 204-797-4862
Many, many thanks are extended to all our faithful volunteers for their committed service in making our Perogy Fundraiser such a great success. It is a huge undertaking and requires many hours of help
from Sunday (peeling potatoes) to Friday in order to be able to fill our orders on Wednesday and to host the perogy supper on Friday. This is a much needed fundraiser for our parish. Without it we
would have difficulty meeting our expenses. Thank you to the members of the Knights of Columbus, our Seniors Group, our Prayer Group members and Parish members including those who may not be
able to come and help but so willingly donate pies for the Supper. We also thank several ladies who are not members of our parish but come to pinch perogies on Wednesday. We extend our deepest
gratitude to the Ukrainian Catholic Womens’ League (UCWLC) for coordinating this fundraiser. We wish you a very peaceful and restful Summer and look forward to your help again in September.
THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS! We couldn’t do it without you

Icon of Christ Healing the Paralytic Man
We see the paralytic today
sitting on the side of the miracle
well waiting for 18 years. 18
years of suffering, but also 18
years of hope, because he was
coming every day in hope for a
cure. He was patiently waiting
for a miracle to cure his legs so
he can walk again.
However Jesus Christ when
he approaches him he does not
ask him: do you want to walk
again? But He asks him: Wilt
thou be made whole?(John 5:6).
This is a very important detail
because it is giving us a hint on
how we should see ourselves in
the great scheme of things.
The Paralytic was like an unburied
dead man, and when He saw you , O
Lord he cried out: Have mercy on me,
for my bed has become my grave. Of
what use is my life? I have no need for
the sheep pool, for there is none to put
me into the water. Therefore, I come to
You, O fountain of all healing, that
with all that I may cry to You: O Lord
a l m i g h t y , g l o r y t o Y o u !
