Дорогі Отці-Собрати,
Шановні Брати й Сестри у Христі,
Річне Єпархіяльне Свято відбудеться у неділю, 11-го черня ц.р. Додатково до недільної Літургії й програми, єпархія цього року влаштовує родинний “рітріт” – програма духовного, культурного, й дружнього характеру, який відбудеться у пятницю, 9-го, і суботу, 10-го, у “Золотій Брамі”, оселя Собору Св. Володимира у Гамільтоні, яке знаходиться у Ґримзбі.
Просимо Вас оголосити про Свята і Рітріт у Вашій парафії, заохочуючи всіх вірних – зокрема дітей і молодь з батьками, до участі. Афіша з точною інформацією в прикріленні – просимо видрукувати й роздавати своїм вірним. Підкреслюємо, що учасники мусять голоситися до 2-го червня щоби знали заздалегідь скільки будуть учасників, і що вхід вільний, але все ж таки примаємо добровільні пожертви.
Дякуємо щиро за Вашу підтримку та співпрацію. До милої зустрічі!
Воістину Христос Воскрес!
