Blessing of the Icon of the Martyrs of Pratulin

On Sunday, March 15, our parish community joyfully welcomed and blessed a beautiful new icon of the Martyrs of Pratulin. This sacred icon, written in Lviv, Ukraine, now holds a special place in our church as a shrine for the relics of these holy martyrs.

We are blessed to have the relics of the Martyrs of Pratulin permanently present in our parish, and they are now enshrined within this icon, which is available for veneration by the faithful. This sacred addition invites all to deepen their devotion and seek the intercession of these courageous witnesses of the faith.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Johnny and Shelly Ewoniuk for their generous support in making this project possible. We also thank Jordan Lamers for crafting the beautiful stands for the icon, which truly enhance its presence in our church. Jordan’s exceptional craftsmanship is a gift, and those interested in custom woodworking or church furnishings may contact him at (567) 219-1402.

May God bless all who contributed to this meaningful addition to our parish life.
