On **Saturday, November 8**, the **Holy Eucharist Cathedral** in New Westminster
will host a special **Bishop’s Gala Dinner** — an evening of faith, beauty, and 
unity honouring **Bishop Michael Kwiatkowski’s birthday** and the **second anniversary
of his Enthronement**.

Under the theme _“Rooted in Faith, Growing in Hope,”_ this radiant event gathers
clergy, faithful, and friends from across the Eparchy to celebrate God’s grace and
to sow seeds of hope for the next generation of Ukrainian children and youth through**
Camp St. Volodymyr 2026**.

The Gala promises an atmosphere of inspiration, featuring sacred art, uplifting 
music, and heartfelt testimonies. The highlight of the evening will be a **live 
sacred art performance — “The Wheat of Resurrection” — by artist Serhii Kolodka**,
symbolizing how hope springs forth from faith, and how together we nurture new life
in Christ.

Performances by talented young Ukrainian musicians will enrich the evening:

 * **Lev Panchenko (piano)** – a gifted musician from Kharkiv, Ukraine, whose artistry
   speaks of beauty and peace.
 * **Liubomyr Prysyazhnyi (saxophone)** – the youngest street performer in White
   Rock and Grand Prix winner of the 2025 Richmond Music Festival.
 * **Yasa Bobanova (panpipe)** – a rising young artist whose gentle melodies embody
   perseverance and hope.

Through this charitable event, participants will support the spiritual and cultural
formation of Ukrainian youth in Canada — helping them encounter Christ, grow in 
faith, and cherish their Ukrainian Catholic heritage.

The Bishop’s Gala Dinner is more than a celebration — it is a **witness of faith
and hope**, inspiring us to carry the light of the Jubilee of Hope into our parishes,
families, and communities.
