Protection of the Theotokos October 14 - Tropar, Tone 4

Today, we Orthodox people joyfully celebrate, enlightened

by Your coming among us O Mother of God, and gazing

upon Your most-pure image, we say with compunction:

“Shelter us with Your most pure Protection and deliver us

from all evil, praying to Your Son, Christ our God, to

save our souls.”

Сьогодні, ми, православні люди, радісно святкуємо, осяяні Твоїм, Богомати, пришустям, і, споглядаючи на Твій пречистий образ, покірно мовимо: “Покрий нас чесним Твоїм покровом і визволи нас від усякого зла , молячи Сина Твого, Христа

Бона нашого, спасти душі наші”.

Ukrainian Self-Reliance Association (TYC) - Steppe Branch Saskatoon

Who we are:

TYC is a long serving organization composed of dedicated members utilizing their diversity of talents to serve our CYC family, Ukrainians, Canadians and to sup-port the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. We strive to continue the pioneering spirit of our forefathers to perpetuate and enhance the religious, moral, cultural and national values in Canada as Ukrainians and Canadians.

We value Vision, Integrity, Commitment, Service, Collaboration and Achievement.

What we do

In order to financially support our member organizations as well as various charities and individuals, we raise funds with the help of our TYC members and dedicated volunteers. One way that we fund-raise is by staffing bingo at City Centre Bingo Hall (310 – 22nd St W). Our membership is aging, and we have fewer and fewer members and volunteers to carry the workload.

We urgently need your help as volunteers so that we can continue this lucrative form of fundraising. If we cannot continue, due to lack of staffing, then we will be forced to give up our bingo fundraising which will eliminate our available funds for distribution to the churches and cultural groups.

Over the past 6 years alone TYC has contributed over a quarter of a million dollars ($246,900.00) to our member organizations and various local charities. One of our major beneficiaries is the parish at Holy Trinity Cathedral. Over the past 7 years, $ 104,000.00 has been donated to the parish.

Volunteers please call or text any of the following TYC members: Myron Kowalsky, 1-306-980-7802; Maurice Werezak, 306-230-8957; Ron Trischuk, 306-241-2046.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you.

BINGO DATES : Sept. 28: 11:30 am to 5:30 pm Nov 23: 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm Oct. 10: 11:30am to 5:30 pm Nov 23: 9:30 pm to 1:30 am Oct 26: 11:30am to 5:30 pm Nov.07: 11:30am to 5:30 pm

CYMK - Anna Papish Branch

We started the convention off with a barrage of ice breakers and team games as well as a pool party for all of the CYMKivtsi from all across Canada to meet and mingle with one another. Then the next few days were made up of a variety of fun and informative activities. Intriguing talks by a multitude of speakers on building a community, conflict resolu-

tion, as well as support and mentoring kicked off the first full day of the convention. The youth was then split into two different groups to either take part in a service project at the local food bank or a tour of the human rights museum. Next, all of the youth went on a field trip to Fort Whyte Alive, where the senior CYMKivtsi took part in an orienteering workshop and scavenger hunt, and the juniors made icons and talked with members of the clergy. Round-Table discussions with the youth of CYMK and members of CYC and the USRL to discuss how the organization could improve. Another highlight was the Faith-on-Tap Q&A activity with 5 priests. The next day was the CYMK-UOY AGM where 3 new resolutions were drafted.

1. CYMK from across Canada will convene at the Sobor in Saskatoon for a reunion.

2. . At least one delegate from each local will be sent to Ukraine to do a service project to help (most likely at an orphanage).

3. . CYMK will increase their presence on all platforms of social media in order to increase our networking and communication. Then finally the night ended with a zabava and church service in the morning where CYMK acted as the choir.

Holy Trinity Icon Windows : Teachers and Defenders of the Faith St. Michael, Metropolitan of Kiev “Those who were not a people are now the people of God, a holy

nation” (Troparion) On June 28 or Sept 30 we celebrate the memory of the first Metropolitan of Kyiv, St. Michael, who reposed in the Lord on that day in 992. Very little is known about his origins. He is said to have been a Syrian, Bulgarian or Serbian. The Patriarch of Constantin-ople sent him to Ukraine in 988, shortly after the Baptism of Rus’, to lead the work of the Great Knyaz’ t. Volodymyr the Great in establish-ing his people in the Orthodox Faith.

St. Michael took his work very seriously. During the four years of his primacy he accomplished an enormous amount of work. Scores of Churches and monasteries were built. Alongside them were schools to teach the people, especially the young, how to read so that their faith would be accompa-nied by knowledge and wisdom.

Besides his work in the capital, Kyiv, St. Michael also made archpastoral visitations to Pereyaslav and Chernihiv in Ukraine, as well as Belgorod, Novgorod and Great Rostov in what is today the Russian Federation (the Russian Church was under the jurisdiction of the Metropolia of Kyiv until 1448, when it began to elect its own Metropolitans for Moscow, thereby assuming de facto auto-cephaly, which was confirmed by the Patriarch of Constantinople in 1589).

St. Michael is also held to be the founder of St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery on the banks of the Dnipro River in Kyiv. The name was chosen to honour the Archangel who cast Satan down from the Heavenly places after his apostasy, since the turning of the people of Rus’ from the dark-ness of superstition and idolatry to the Light of Christ held a significance similar to that cosmic event. From that time on, St. Michael the Archangel is considered to be the Protector of Kyiv.

St. Michael reposed in the Lord on June 15 and his body was interred in the Church of the Tithes (Desyatynna), which was funded by the tithes of St. Volodymyr the Great during the episcopacy of St. Michael. The Metropolitan’s body was found to be incorrupt and was brought to the Near Caves (St. Anthony’s) of the Kyivan Cave Lavra on September 30 about 1103. This was most likely the date of his canonization as well.

For centuries St. Michael was commemorated together with the Venerable Fathers Anthony and Theodosius, the Founders of the Kyivan Lavra, on September 2. On October 1, 1730, his body was brought to the Dormition Cathedral of the Lavra and remained there in peace until the destruction of the Cathedral in 1941 (by the bombs of the Soviet government during the Nazi occupation of Kyiv) when it was apparently lost.

In 1893 a Church was built in honour of St. Michael in Kyiv. It was destroyed by the Communists one Easter Sunday in the 1930’s. In 1995, when Fr. Roman Baranovsky, a laureate of the “Chervona Ruta” music festival held in Chernivtsi in 1990, was assigned to the newly reorganized parish, all that remained of the Church were its foundations, guarded by trees that had grown high in the decades of abandonment. Services were begun in an adjacent building and soon excavations and reconstruction made it possible to rebuild the Church into a vibrant community. Its location, near the main hospital in the centre of KKyiv, makes it a haven of prayer for those who come to the hospital for physical healing and to the Church for the healing of body and soul. Liturgies as well as Molebens’ are served daily. There is also an Akathist each Wednesday to Sts. Cyprian and Justina for those recovering from spiritual oppression due to their participation in occultism.

The Faith preached by St. Michael, the first Metropolitan of Kyiv, has played an important role in transforming the Slavic tribes to which he ministered into nations – Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. Through his intercessions and those of the countless men and women who have followed him along the path of dedication to our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus Christ, may these nations find the way to live in peace, mutual respect and friendship. By Fr. Ihor Kutash -

Митрополит Михаїл Київський „Ті, що не були народом, зараз – народом Божим , народом святим” (Тропар) На 28-го червня або 30-го вересня ми святкуємо пам’ять першого Митрополита Київського, Св. Михаїла, який на той на день упокоївся в Бозі у 992 р. Дуже мало знаємо про його походження. Кажуть, що він був сирійцем, або болгарином або сербом. Патріярх Константинопольский призначив його в Україну в р. 988, скоро після Хрещення Русі, щоб очолити працю Великого Князя Св. Володимира Великого для утвердження його народу в Православній Вірі.

Св. Михаїл дуже поважно взявся за своє завдання. За чотири роки свого первоієраршества він зробив надзвичайно багато. Побудовано дуже багато церков і монастирів. А при нихбули й школи щоб учити людей, а особливо молодь, письменності, щоб їхня віра зростала в парі зі знанням та мудрістю.

Крім праці в столиці, Києві, Св. Михаїл також відвідував Переяслав та Чернігів в Україні, як також Білгород, Новгород та Великий Ростов у країні, що зараз називається Російською Федерацією (Російська Церква була в юрисдикції Київської Митрополії до 1448 р., коли вона стала сама вибирати своїх Митрополитів для Москви, стаючи таким чином де факто автокефальною, що затвердив Патріярх Константинопольський де юре у 1589 р.). Св. Михаїла також уважають засновником Свято-Михайлівського Золотоверхого Монастиря на березі річки Дніпро в Києві. Це ім’я надали йому на честь Архангела, що скинув Сатану з Небесних осель після його відступлення, тому що навернення народу Русі від темряви забобонів та ідолопоклонства до Світла Христового мало значення подібне до згаданої космічної події. І від того часу Св. Архистратиг Михаїл уважається Покровителем Києва. Св. Михаїл упокоївся в Господі 15-го червня 992 р. Його тіло похоронили у Десятинній Церкві, яку побудував Св. Володимир Великий своєю десятиною підчас єпископства Св. Михаїла. Тіло Митрополита знайшли нетлінним і перенесли його до Близьких (Антонієвих) Печер Києво-Печерської Лаври 30-го вересня, приблизно в 1103 р. Це правдоподібно співпадає з його канонізацією. Століттями поминали Св. Михаїла разом з Преподобними Отцями Антонієм і Феодосієм, засновниками Києво-Печерської Лаври, 2-говересня. А 1-го жовтня 1730 р. його тіло перенесли до Успенського Собору Києво-Печерської Лаври і там воно пробувало в спокої аж до знищення Собору в 1941 р. (бомбами радянської влади під час займання Києва нацистами), коли воно мабуть зникло.

У 1893 р. побудували Церкву в честь Св. Михаїла в Києві. Її знищили комуністи одного Великодня у 30-их роках. У 1995 р., коли до нововідродженої парафії призначили настоятелем о. Романа Барановського, лавреата музичного фестивалю „Червона рута”, що відбувся в Чернівцях в 1990 р., з Церкви залишився тільки цоколь, якого захищали високі дерева, що виросли впродовж десятиліть занедбання. Відправи почали служити в іншому близькому будинкові, та розкопки та відбудова дали змогу досить швидко відновити Храм, навколо якого виросла живуща Громада. Він знаходиться близько головної лікарні в центрі Києва, отож і стала ця Церква осередком молитви для тих, що приходять до лікарні по фізичне видужання, а до Храму по сцілення душі та тіла. Літургії та Молебні відправляють щодня. Також щосереди служать Акафист Святим Кипріянові та Юстині за тих, що видужують від духовного пригноблення внаслідок колишньої участі в окультизмі.

Віра, яку проповідував Св. Михаїл, перший Митрополит Київський, відограла поважну роль у перетворенні слов’янських племен, яким він служив, на народи – України, Білорусі та Росії. За його заступництвом, як і за заступництвом тих незлічимих чоловіків і жінок, що наслідували його в відданості Господу, Богу і Спасу Ісусові Христові, нехай знаходять ці народи можливість жити в спокої та в обопільній пошані та дружності. Амінь. о. Ігор Куташ
