Always Our Parishioners:
2025 Gala Theme
This year, the Bishop’s Gala embraces the theme “Always Our Parishioners: Renewing Our Hope in Christ,” reflecting the heartfelt initiative of Bishop David. Our Eparchy is a spiritual home for all, united not only by faith but also by our commitment to caring for every member of our Church family—especially the most vulnerable. Whether young or old, well or in need of care, each parishioner matters deeply in the eyes of God and in the heart of our community.
Our parishes strive to nurture bonds of support, dignity, and friendship, ensuring that no one is forgotten or left behind.
Key Values of This Year’s Gala
Unity: Strengthening the ties that bind us as one Body in Christ
Care: Affirming the dignity and worth of everyone—from the youngest to the oldest
Community: Gathering in fellowship to support the mission and future of our Eparchy
Faith in Action: Transforming our love for God and each other into meaningful outreach
While the evening’s focus is on celebration and raising funds for the full mission of the Eparchy, the theme reminds us of our shared calling: to be a community where every parishioner feels seen, supported, and cherished.
Let us come together in generosity, gratitude, and joyful hope for all the good we can accomplish, now and for generations to come.
Further the Mission
The funds raised by the Bishop’s Gala will empower us to continue fulfilling the mission entrusted to the Church by Christ himself: to journey alongside God’s people as they come to know, love, and serve him. Through your generous donations, we are able to deepen faith, nurture hope, and inspire acts of charity both within our community and beyond. Together, we can build a stronger, more vibrant Church that reflects God’s love and grace in the world.
Your contributions to the Bishop’s Gala enable the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton to continue offering essential ministries and programs that enrich the spiritual lives of our faithful and strengthen our community.
