Purpose and Vision of the Event
The vision of the Bishop’s Gala goes far beyond being a fundraising event. It is an evening dedicated to strengthening our communal journey with God, recognizing the Church’s role in guiding the faithful on their spiritual path. The Gala helps raise awareness of the Eparchy’s ongoing efforts in providing spiritual support, education, outreach, and charitable assistance to those in need, both within the Church and the broader community.
In particular, this year’s Gala holds special significance as it leads into the Holy Jubilee Year of Hope 2025, a time when the Church encourages all to embark on a pilgrimage of renewed faith, hope, and unity. As Pope Francis reminds us, the Jubilee Year is a chance to rekindle hope in the Church, in society, and in ourselves as we promote the dignity of all persons and care for God’s creation. In alignment with this spirit of hope, the Bishop’s Gala serves as a powerful reminder of the Church’s enduring mission to support individuals and families in their journey toward a deeper relationship with God.
How Donations Make a Difference
Funds raised during the Bishop’s Gala directly support the work of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton, enabling the Church to provide essential programs and services that fulfill the needs of its parishioners and the larger community. From youth programs and faith formation initiatives to social justice outreach and pastoral care, the Eparchy’s ministries impact countless lives, offering spiritual guidance, material support, and growth opportunities.
Among the many programs that benefit from the Gala’s proceeds are:
- Faith Formation: Helping individuals and families grow in their understanding of the faith through religious education, retreats, and spiritual resources.
- Youth Ministry: Engaging young people in meaningful faith experiences, such as youth groups, faith-based camps, and leadership development programs, which inspire the next generation of Catholic leaders.
- Charitable Outreach: Offering assistance to those in need, both locally and internationally, through food programs, clothing drives, and emergency relief efforts.
- Pastoral Care: Providing spiritual and emotional support to the sick, the elderly, and those experiencing hardships, through dedicated clergy and lay ministers who walk with individuals on their faith journeys.
