Beheading of St John the Baptist - Усікновення Чесної Глави Св.Івана Хрестителя Tropar, Tone 2

The memory of the righteous is praised, but you, O Forerunner, are well

pleased with the testimony of the Lord. For you have truly been revealed as

more honourable than the prophets since you were deemed worthy to baptize in

the river the One of whom they foretold. Therefore, having fought and suffered

for the Truth, you have also joyfully preached to those in hades the good tidings

of God revealed in the flesh, Who takes away the sins of the world and grants us

great mercy.

Exaltation of the Cross - Воздвиження Чесного Хреста

Tropar, Tone 1

O Lord, save Your People and bless Your inheritance! Grant victory

to Orthodox Christians over their adversaries, and by Your Cross

preserve your Commonwealth.

Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God - Різдво Пресвятої Богородиці

Tropar, Tone 4

Your nativity, O Theotokos, has brought you to the whole universe. The Sun of Righteousness, Christ our God, has shone forth from You, annulling the curse and giving a blessing. He has abolished death and granted us eternal life.

The Church New Year - Початок Нового Церковного Року

Tropar, Tone 2

O maker of all creation, Who have established the times and seasons by your own power, bless the crown of this year with Your goodness, preserving in peace Your city and people by the prayers of the Theotokos, and save us.

Творче всього творіння! Ти часи й доби

встановив Своєю владою. Благослови вінець

року благості Твоєї, Господи, охороняючи в

мирі людей і місто Твоє молитвами Богородиці,

і спаси нас.

The Feast of the Church New Year is an opportunity outside of the observances of Holy

Week to celebrate the full significance of the victory of the Cross over the powers of the

world, and the triumph of the wisdom of God through the Cross over the wisdom of this

world. This Feast also gives the Church an opportunity to relish the full glory of the Cross

as a source of light, hope and victory for Christ's people. It is also a time to celebrate the

universality of the work of redemption accomplished through the Cross: the entire universe

is seen through the light of the Cross, the new Tree of Life which provides nourishment for

those who have been redeemed in Christ.

AGM – September 13, 2017

Wisdom of the Fathers

“Do not be afraid because of your Orthodoxy;

Do not be afraid because, as an Orthodox in the West, you

will be often isolated and always in a small minority.

Do not make compromises but do not attack other Christians;

Do not be either defensive or aggressive;

Simply be yourself.”

Elder Amphilochios Markis

Не бійтеся тому, що ви Православні;

Не бійтеся тому, що як Православні на заході,

ви часто будете ізольовані і завжди будете в незначній меншості;

Не йдіть на компроміси, але не будьте агресивними до інших Християн;

Не обороняйтеся, але і не атакуйте;

Просто будьте самі собою.

Старець Амфілохіс Макріс

Оголошення для всіх батьків!

10 вересня, після Служби Божої отець Тарас всіх дітей буде

благословляти на новий навчальний рік. Можна приносити

шкільні рюкзаки. Будемо раді бачити всіх дітей! До зустрічі!!!

Notice to all Parents

Fr. Taras will bless all the children for the upcoming new school

year on Sunday, September 10th Children are welcome to bring their backpacks for

blessing as well. We look forward to seeing all the children!

Sunday School program will commence on Sunday, September 10, 2017.

Dear Parents,

As in the past we are always encouraging all of our children to attend. However, we

would like you to help our Sunday school coordinators and teachers. If your children are

under the age of 6 years, it is important that you stay to assist your child with various

projects during classes. We are also praying that perhaps two or three parents would like

to help Dobr. Joanne with the teaching. The role of the Church, and the duty of the par-

ent is to give an opportunity for our children to receive religious instruction early, in the

formative years. Then as they grow, they shall become firm in their Orthodox faith. Any

one who is interested in teaching Sunday School please contact Dobr. Joanne at big-

mak@sasktel.net See you all soon!

Holy Trinity Icon Windows : Teachers and Defenders of the Faith

Martyr Athanasius the Abbot of Bretsk Commemorated on September 5

The Hieromartyr Athansius of Bretsk was Belorussian and

was born in about the year 1597 into a pious Christian

family named Philippovich. He received a serious

upbringing, and he knew the theological and historical

literature, as is evidenced in the diary of the saint, which

has been preserved.

In his youth, Saint Athanasius for a while was a teacher

in the houses of Polish merchants. In the year 1627, he

accepted tonsure under Igumen Joseph at the Vilensk

monastery of the Holy Spirit. Saint Athanasius was

ordained hieromonk in the year 1632, and made head of the

Duboisk [Dubovsk] monastery near Pinsk.

Saint Athanasius, with a special blessing of the Theotokos, re-established Orthodoxy

within the boundaries of the ancient Russian territories that had been seized by the Polish

Reche. Between the years 1638-1648 Saint Athanasius fulfilled his obedience as igumen of

the Bretsk-Simeonov monastery. The monk endured much abuse from the Uniates and

illegal persecution from the civil authorities. Three times he endured being locked up in

prison.

The saint was sent to the authorities at Kiev to appear before a religious tribunal, but he

was acquitted, and returned to his own monastery. For ten years Saint Athanasius, finding

himself among persons maliciously disposed towards him, led a constant struggle for Holy

Orthodoxy, his faithfulness to which is evidenced by his sufferings.

Attempts to wear down the spiritual endurance of the saint were to no avail. He again went

to trial, after which the monk was sentenced to death by execution, for his cursing of the

Unia. Saint Athanasius died as a martyr on the night of September 4-5, 1648

(the Uncovering of Relics was on July 20, 1679).
