Preserve Our Heritage
Assure Our Future Fundraiser
Please consider donating to help us restore our church
Our small Ukrainian Church in Brantford is seeking $85,000 to help us maintain our church and the broader Ukrainian identity in Brantford.
Even though we are a small parish, our plans are ambitious and our needs great.
Sadly, we have had to make substantial repairs to our buildings due to aging infrastructure and vandalism. We funded these through a combination of our own resources, insurance claims and government grants.
We have always tried to be prudent in our expenditures and proactive in seeking out available funding. These repairs inspired new pride in our church and inspired our goal to restore degrading infrastructure and make needed upgrades.
Preparation for Divine Liturgy
In an effort to foster a more prayerful environment for those
arriving at church for Divine Liturgy, we plan to introduce a variety of prayers to be chanted.
We seek volunteers to read or chant these various services, which will include the Third
Hour, the Rosary and the Jesus Prayer. We plan to alternate these in Ukrainian and English,
subject to availability of volunteer readers.
We will ensure you have the materials you need. Please note, no experience is necessary will be happy to coach you through what you need to do.
A signup form is available, please click the link below
We invite you to register with our Parish
For more information regarding
registration, its benefits as well as the protocols we have in place to secure your information please, contact Fr.Don
