Annual Eparchial Appeal

Annual Eparchial Appeal 2025

This marks the close of the 2025 Annual Eparchial Appeal. Our Parish, the Eparchy & the Ukrainian Catholic Foundation of Saskatchewan want to say a HEARTFELT THANK YOU to all who have made a gift to this year’s Annual Eparchial Appeal to support the Eparchial programs and initiatives. You certainly have become “Beacons of Hope” for our Eparchy.

We are extremely thrilled to announce that the 2025 Annual Eparchial Appeal was a great success. The funds raised through the Appeal to date are $129,093.02. In addition, there were 6 Parishes who exceeded their Appeal Goal and will receive 75% of the excess amount over their goal. In total these Parishes will obtain over $8,433.00 in Parish Rebates.

The initiatives determined to be funded by this year’s Appeal included the following:
• Ukrainian Catholic Religious Education Centre
• Eparchial Communications Office
• St. Matthew’s Clergy Society
• Bishop Roborecki Foundation
• Chancery Support

The funds raised from the 2025 Annual Eparchial Appeal will be allocated by the Finance Officer to each initiative listed above based on the financial need of each initiative except for the amount allocated to the Bishop Roborecki Foundation who will receive $8,902.95.

After all the expenses to conduct the Appeal have been paid and the allocation to Bishop Roborecki Foundation and the Parish rebates made, the amount that will be distributed to the Eparchy from the Annual Eparchial Appeal will be $86,757.08 to fund the initiatives listed above.

In 2025, the participation rate of the family units in the Eparchy who contributed to the Annual Eparchial Appeal was 22% in 2025, as compared to 25% in 2024, 20% in 2023 and 2022, 25% in 2021, 22% in 2019, 22% in 2018, 22% in 2017, 30% in 2016 and 33% in 2015. The Annual Eparchial Appeal was not conducted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is our hope that the participation numbers of the number of Parish Families contributing to the Annual Eparchial Appeal will increase 2026 Annual Eparchial Appeal. We are prayerfully hopeful that more Parishioners will see the important significance that their donation will make in the growth and continuance of our Ukrainian Catholic Church and Faith in Saskatchewan.

PLEASE be assured your donations to the Appeal will significantly enhance the Eparchy’s ability to provide essential services through the Eparchial initiatives and programs that are so vital to the sustainability and the future of our Ukrainian Catholic faith in Saskatchewan.

While the formal part of the 2025 Appeal is wrapping up, donations will still be accepted until the end of December.

May God Bless you abundantly with His Grace, Mercy, and Blessings.
Ukrainian Catholic Foundation of Saskatchewan Corporation.
