In response to the Russian invasion of the country the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada has blessed all churches to be active centres of prayer and “havens for the storm-tossed” to provide solace to communities.
Here in Brandon, parishioners gathered at the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Orthodox Church on Sunday evening for a prayer service and candle light vigil in support of Ukraine.
