“Remember us, O Lord, …”
THANK YOU, for your continued and generous support of the 2024 Annual Eparchial Appeal. Your contribution will be making a significant difference and serves as a powerful witness of our God’s love and mercy. Your gifts are allocated towards religious education programs, clergy support and education, communication services and Chancery office support. If you have not yet made your pledge, please prayerfully consider donating a one-time gift, or a pledge spread over several months. Please join us, your Ukrainian Catholic community, as we combine our gifts to God’s hidden treasure of faith.
Today we will feature the Chancery Office support, one of the initiatives funded by the 2024 Annual Eparchial Appeal. Over the past number of years, the Eparchy’s sources of revenues have either decreased or have been eliminated. The amount of Cathedraticum revenue, which is based on Sunday collections at Parish churches, has decreased because membership in our Eparchy has been steadily decreasing over the years which is the result of lower attendance at Sunday Liturgies. The grant funding that the Eparchy enjoyed in previous years from various organizations is allocated on a “year to year” basis and has the potential to be eliminated in future years. Therefore, the Eparchy must be now resourceful and seek other sources of revenue to ensure the continuation and sustainability of programs and services such as management of Eparchial archives, managing the inventory of sacred items and much more. Donations to the Annual Eparchial Appeal is one way the Faithful of the Eparchy can help.
Did you know that there is more than one way to give to the Annual Eparchial Appeal? You can:
-Make a one-time gift.
-Make a pledge and spread out your pledge over 12 (or less) monthly payments.
-Have your donation matched by your company with a Corporate Matching Gift.
-Online donations using the QR code which links directly to the UCFSask website.
Now more than ever, it is so important to feed the spiritual needs of all the people in the Eparchy. The Annual Eparchial Appeal is this opportunity to come together as an Eparchy to serve each other and your participation is crucial.
