GOOD FRIDAY

For the first time in three years, residents were able to come together to pray the Плащаниця Service on Good Friday.

Residents, families and volunteers lead the procession where Jesus was laid in the tomb. Thank you to all who participated in helping this sacred time happen at Holy Family. It was a moving experience as everyone had the opportunity to venerate the Плащаниця with honour and thanksgiving to Jesus, the One who loves us deeply and gave his [...]

TARAS SHEVCHENKO TEA

Lubov Foundation2023-03-27T21:15:34-05:00March 11th, 2023|

Residents, with their families, enjoyed the Taras Shevchenko Tea. They listened to poetry and songs written by Shevchenko, which were recited and sung by staff and volunteers. Taras Shevchenko lived from March 9, 1814, to March 10, 1861. He is called the "Bard of Ukraine”, on a level with Shakespeare, Byron and Robert Burns. A true “people poet”, he expressed the aspirations of a broad sector of Ukrainians in contemporary language, with humanism and spirituality. He truly laid a solid foundation for the Ukrainian literary language.
