PALM (Willow) SUNDAY (Квітна Неділя / Kvitna Nedilia) Commemorates

Christ’s entry into Jerusalem The pussy willows (used in place of palms) represent the

scourging of Christ, and give rise to a practice among Ukrainians to tap each other

with the willows. The willow hits, not I; A week from now it will be Easter “Лоза б’є, Не Я б’ю. Від нині за тиждень, буде Великдень”

The tapping with the willow also signifies the wishes for health, happiness and wealth.

tone of the liturgies stress the importance of repentance and the need of vigilance in

prayer.

Submitted by Fr John Mostivsky

We remember Christ's entrance into Jerusalem one week before His death and

Resurrection. This ancient holyday has always been marked with much joy and hope,

for it is a sign and portend of things to come, namely Christ's sacrifice on the Cross and

His Resurrection on the third day. We will bless and distribute willow branches after

the Divine Liturgy and blessing of oil and anointing all the Faithful.

THE RELOCATION OF HOLY SPIRIT UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC SEMINARY

When the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies announced several years ago its plan to relo-cate to the University of Saint Michael College in the University of Toronto, the Ukrainian Catholic Bishops of Canada, who constitute the Seminary Board of Directors, began a process of discernment, together with the Seminary Rector, regarding the implications for the Seminary.

The first question centered on the academic formation of our seminarians which until recently had been ensured through the theology programs at Ottawa's Saint Paul University and the Eastern theological programs provided by the Sheptytsky Insti-tute affiliated with St. Paul University. Enquiries were made regarding the Sheptytsky Institute's new academic arrangements with St. Michael's College in Toronto. Information was also received regarding programs offered at Ottawa's St. Paul Univer-sity, now without the participation of the Sheptytsky Institute. Discussions were also held with other academic centers, includ-ing those available at several institutions in Edmonton AB.

The second question centered on a physical home for the Seminary. The present building in Ottawa could still be used if the Seminary remained in Ottawa, but as an older building it has been subject to ever increasing repairs over the years. Much time was spent visiting possible locations in the Toronto area. There the difficulty was finding a building suitable for the Seminary needs, within a reasonable travel distance to St. Michael's College and at a feasible price. The cost was clearly of concern even when considering the sale of the Ottawa location.

A third option arose when the Basilian Fathers vacated their House of Studies in Edmonton, with the possibility of a lease or purchase agreement with the Seminary.

Invoking the divine help of the Holy Spirit, the patron of the Seminary, the bishops conducted much prayer and reflection in order to come to a decision, fully aware of the stages of formation of the present seminarians and the good will of many organi-zations and individuals desirous for the best outcome for the Seminary. The bishops have also been sensitive to the concerns of the faithful of each eparchy who provide the funding essential to the running and maintenance of the Seminary, notwithstand-ing the decline in parish memberships and slow depletion of available finances.

With all this in mind, the bishops, as the Seminary Board of Directors, have decided to enter into a lease agreement with the Basilian Fathers (Order of St. Basil the Great) for their House of Studies in Edmonton AB, which will provide space suitable for the Seminary, including chapel, kitchen and dining room, library and study rooms, and rooms for the seminarians and staff. Seminarians will pursue a Master of Divinity program at Newman Theological College.

In addition, internet and online educational opportunities are also available to our seminarians, in particular with the Sheptytsky Institute, providing ever increasing dimensions to seminary formation.

In Sacred Scripture, we find various examples of journeys undertaken by the people of God in response to the call of the Lord, be it Abraham and Moses in the Old Testament, or the Holy Family in the New Testament. So too, Holy Spirit Seminary will now undertake a new direction in its pilgrim journey as a sacred institution, which we discern to be the call of the Lord not only to the staff and seminarians, but also to the clergy and faithful of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Canada. And so, with the prayer from the Divine Liturgy we pray: "Let us go forth in peace. In the name of the Lord!"

Sincerely Yours in Christ,

+ Lawrence Huculak, OSBM, Metropolitan Archbishop of Winnipeg + David Motiuk, Eparchial Bishop of Edmonton + Stephen Chmilar, Eparchial Bishop of Toronto + Ken Nowakowski, Eparchial Bishop of New Westminster + Bryan Bayda, C.Ss.R., Eparchial Bishop of Saskatoon
