Standing with the Church in Ukraine
Through prayer and financial assistance, Saint Ann supports priests, their families, and children affected by the war in Ukraine.
Our parish has helped two parish priests and their families, contributed to renovations at another parish, and provided assistance for war orphans.
Thank you to everyone whose generosity has made this support possible.

Christ is born and I thank you, Fr Taras, and your spiritual flocks who have been helping our family for several years now, and this year, as pilgrims of hope, I thank the Lord God who does not forget us and gives us life, and during this Christmas time, on the Nativity of our Lord Jesus.
With great, Hope begins great, Hope that God has not forgotten us, does not forget us, and gives us life. During Christmas of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I want to thank all of you who provide help for my family.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
Our greetings to all the parishioners of St Ann Byzantine Catholic Church. We thank everyone for their care of us in Ukraine.
On this radiant and saving day of the Nativity of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, the Church joyfully proclaims the great mystery of God's Incarnation: "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14).
The Son of God, born of the Most Pure Virgin Mary in Bethlehem, comes to us as the Light of the world, to deliver humanity from sin, death, and corruption and to grant us participation in His divine life.
May the grace of the newborn Savior enlighten our minds and hearts, strengthen us in faith, establish us in love, and grant peace to our families and to all of Ukraine.
May the Christmas joy that resounds in the Church's carol always lead us along the path of the Gospel.
With prayer for you on, Father Ivan and family!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
