What an incredible day we had yesterday, June 9th, celebrating our Nanaimo Ukrainian Festival and the 40th anniversary of our beloved Nanaimo Church!
A heartfelt thank you dear Bishop Michael for your blessing and father’s love. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making this day so special. From the tireless organizers and dedicated volunteers who helped us and in the kitchen to the talented performers who filled our day with beautiful music, dance, and song – your contributions are deeply appreciated.
To everyone who attended and supported our community with your presence and donations, thank you for joining us in celebration. Your enthusiasm and spirit made this day truly memorable.
We had the honor of welcoming our church’s founders on behalf of Bishop Michael on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the parish.
Here’s to many more years of unity, culture, and faith in our wonderful community!
With prayers,
