We were honoured to host Rami Blair from the U.S. Consulate General of Toronto who visited our parish on October 11, 2023. On the initiative of the consulate, John Holuk and Fr. Jaroslaw Buciora met with a representative of the U.S. Government on behalf of the parish.

After a brief meeting at the cathedral, the guests were hosted at the parish hall by Heavenly Perogies with a traditional Ukrainian-style dinner. 

The meeting could be characterized as a friendly discussion which embraced many topics of the current global situation impacting Canada and the U.S.. Without a doubt, the war in Ukraine was the main focus of the discussion.

The meeting ended with hope for future cooperation between the U.S. Consulate and our parish within the realm of possible joint projects. We would like to express our sincere thank you to the U.S. Consulate for their initiative and it was an honour to welcome them in our parish.
