2025 Parish Feast Day ~ Парафіяльне свято

Byzantine adult catechism course

The Catholic Church is a “symphony of faith” with many liturgical traditions, all united under the Holy Father. Among these is the Ukrainian Catholic Church, where the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and the rich theology of the East express the same Catholic faith in a unique and beautiful way. 

This January, Holy Resurrection Parish (Located at St. John Vianney, Penticton, BC) will begin a 12-week Adult Catechism in the Byzantine Rite, starting January 5th. Together, we will journey through the richness of the Byzantine tradition, exploring:

  • The history and spirituality of the Byzantine Catholic Church
  • The Divine Liturgy: heaven on earth with chant, incense, and icons
  • The sacraments (Holy Mysteries) in the Byzantine tradition
  • Unity with Rome: breathing with “both lungs” of the Church
