Bishop **Michael Kwiatkowski** and Vicar General Father **Mykhailo Ozorovych**, 
represented our Eparchy, upon the invitation of representatives of the Canadian 
Bible Society (CBS), to discuss past collaboration as well as future needs and plans.

To begin with, sincere gratitude was expressed to the Senior Manager of the CBS,**
Majd Alajji** and the Society’s regional Director for British Columbia and the Yukon,
Rev. **Matthew Francis** - for their providing a good number of Ukrainian language**
Bibles** and illustrated **Children’s Bibles** for the great number of Newcomers
from Ukraine. These Bibles have been distributed to all our parishes throughout 
British Columbia and have been offered to all families and individuals for their
home use and their parish Bible studies.

Much was discussed about the many immigrant communities throughout Canada from many
various countries who have made their way to settle in Canada for a myriad of reasons–
mostly **war** and **social unrest**. It was fascinating to learn about the similarities
in the experience and needs of the different ‘diaspora’ groups as well as the uniqueness
of each community.

It was interesting to learn that the amazing coloured Children’s activity Bible –**
[Біблія для дітей 2](https://www.kniga.org.ua/product/19827/)** - now in two volumes,
was designed and published from the Ukraine branch of the Bible Society and other
language groups would like to develop something similar.
