Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I pray you are doing well. Most of you may be aware that I have been assigned to two parishes of our Eparchy in California. I will move at the end of July. Fr. Philip Gilbert, our newly ordained priest, was assigned to St. Luke UGCC.
I’m grateful to God for being with you all this time. Every day has been such a great blessing not only for me but also for my family. Thank you for your Love, Kindness, and Support. With these beautiful gifts of the Holy Spirit, our Mission will flourish and bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit. I will continue to keep all my parishioners, from every parish where I have served, in our daily family prayers.
Please accept Fr. Philip as a gift from God. He has a lot to do in our parish. He needs prayers, support, and encouragement. His beautiful wife is Ukrainian and she will continue to develop the Ukrainian tradition.
Only in unity and with grateful hearts can we develop our congregation.
Now Fr. Philip needs your prayers for safe travels with his wife to Ukraine and for their safe return at the end of August. Also, I ask you to support Fr. Philip through your kind donations, which will be used for his transfer from Kansas.
Here is the link for donation: https://stlukecody.org/donation/ or you can use in our chapel a donation box.
In Christ, Fr. Roman Bobesiuk!
