The Dormition of the Mother of God Ukrainian Catholic Church in Kelowna warmly invites everyone to the Bishop’s Fundraising Dinner 2025, which will take place on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at the parish hall (1091 Coronation Ave, Kelowna, BC).
This special evening will be hosted by Bishop Michael Kwiatkowski, Eparch of New Westminster. It will bring together clergy, parishioners, and friends from across British Columbia to support the growing needs of our Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy — especially as it continues to welcome and serve Ukrainian families arriving in Canada.
The Need
As more Ukrainian families continue to flee the war and seek refuge, our Eparchy is responding with compassion and practical support — creating new mission communities, expanding youth and faith education programs, and nurturing the dream of establishing a Ukrainian Catholic school.
Funds raised from this dinner will help strengthen our shared mission and build a more vibrant Ukrainian Catholic presence across British Columbia.
