The Priest takes a particle from the fourth prosphora, and places it below the Holy Bread, to the left.
From the fourth prosphora, and those that the faithful have given, the Priest remembers the living faithful, removing a particle for each and placing (them in a row below) saying with each name:
Remember, O Lord, Your servants (name).
The Priest takes a particle from the fifth prosphora and, placing it below the above row, remembers the departed, saying:
In blessed memory and for the remission of sins of the most holy Patriarchs, Bishops, Priests, Deacons, and all monastics; and of all the blessed founders of this holy church.
The Priest remembers the Bishop who ordained him, if he is departed, and then any other departed faithful, removing a particle from the fifth prosphora for each and placing it next to the first, below the row of the living, saying with each name:
Remember, O Lord, Your servant (name).
When he finishes remembering the departed, the Priest says this prayer:
Remember all of our Orthodox fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, who have departed in the hope of resurrection to eternal life in Your communion, O Lord who loves mankind.
On Sunday, May 29, 2016, after Liturgy, a ʺTeaʺ to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of Ukrainians in Canada was held in the parish hall. Soup, dainty sandwiches & sweets served with tea or coffee in china teacups delighted the palates, while a short program entertained the hearts of those in attendance. In addition to the presentation of the film ʺFirst Ukrainians in Canadaʺ, four women spoke of their first experiences in Canada.
Tatyiana Petrunyk revealed how homesick she was in spite of coming to Canada with her husband & daughter two years ago. Bohdana Kovalenko expressed her gratitude for the help she received from a parishioner when she arrived in the early 90ʼs. Sophia Ostapchuck told of her early struggles to find a community in which she could feel at home and continue to cultivate her Ukrainian identity. Halina Waverchuck spoke of the things that both delighted and unnerved her upon her arrival as an 11-year-old. All the women noted the hardship of their first days in the new land but all expressed gratitude for the opportunity to live in Canada.
It was a heart-warming occasion not only because we celebrated Ukrainian presence in Canada but also because we learned how enriching it is to share our stories.

Within this developed pattern of Lent, what precisely do the rules of fasting demand? Neither in ancient nor in modern times has there ever been exact uniformity, but most Orthodox authorities agree on the following rules…
