A Celebration of Thanksgiving

After completing almost two weeks of course studies, students and staff joined professors Suzette Phillips and Adam DeVille in a festive celebration of the Divine Liturgy at the Sheptytsky Institute's Saints Joachim and Anna Chapel. The Metropolitan Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies was delighted to provide the students who stayed on after the successful Study Days 2010 with the opportunity to deepen their theological reflection in the area of East-West ecumenism and in the consideration of healing from an Eastern Christian perspective. Students who took both courses will earn 6 credits towards either a Certificate or Bachelor of Theology in Eastern Christian Studies.

“A Gracious, Loving Presentation of God’s Truth:”
Sheptytsky Institute Celebrates Successful Study Days in Ottawa
The Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies (MASI) once again hosted Study Days in Ottawa – truly an Eastern Christian feast for the mind and heart. This is the third consecutive year that MASI has reached out to the wider community of Eastern and Western Christians in offering an academic and spiritual conference to enlighten and deepen their faith. Held between June 28th and June 30th, this year’s Study Days focused on the theme “Holiness and Healing.” By almost every account, the three-day gathering of talks, workshops and liturgical prayer provided a special and unique experience for those in attendance.
Plenary speakers included Father Michael Plekon (Professor, Department of Sociology/Anthropology, Baruch College, City University of New York), Father Myroslaw Tataryn (Vice-President and Academic Dean, St. Jerome’s University/University of Waterloo), and Dr. Suzette Phillips (practicing Mental Health and Occupational Therapist).
Dr. Michael Plekon also delivered a special lecture concerning his newly-published book Hidden Holiness to an audience of approximately two hundred people. As a special treat this year, a concert of sacred and classical music for the piano and organ was offered by Maestro Ovid Young, an international musician and composer.
Among the workshops offered were: Psychotherapy: Healing the Soul, Bringing Healing to the Poor, The Holy Mystery of Anointing, Metropolitan Sheptytsky as Wounded Healer, Iconography to Still the Soul, Hospital Chaplaincy, Healing and Spiritual Growth, as well as some sessions of general interest including a mini-course on Cantoring.
Workshop leaders consisted of Fr. Michael Plekon, Fr. Andriy Chirovsky, Fr. Myroslaw Tataryn, Presvitera Halia Chirovsky, Presvitera Olena Hanushevska Galadza, Fr. Roman Galadza, Fr. Andrew Onuferko, Fr. Michael Winn, Presvitera Melita Mudri-Zubacz, Marika Hull, Dr. Donna Dobrowolsky, and Subdeacon Brian Anastasi Butcher.
The Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies is encouraged by the positive feedback received both this year and in past years. Here is a sampling of what some of the participants said about their experience:
- “Study Days and Sheptytsky Institute have had a positive impact and moved me in a significant way on my journey toward healing and holiness.”
- “It was a gracious, loving presentation of God’s truth in a manner that facilitates genuine healing inwardly for His Glory.”
- “I liked the gathering of spirit-filled people, seeking to learn from one another, to bring new resources to their respective communities.”
- “I liked the plenary and workshops; the beautiful services; the opportunity for contact with top scholars/theologians as a guide to ensure my capability to address questions – liturgical, catechetical – that come up during the year in parish activities.”
- “Very valuable as a shot-in-the-arm uplifting reminder of our faith calling.”
MASI is preparing for Study Days 2011 and anticipates another successful turnout and event.

Sheptytsky Institute Greets New Secretary of the Oriental Congregation
The Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies of Saint Paul University in Ottawa recently greeted the new Secretary of the Vatican Congregation for the Eastern Churches. On behalf of the Institute’s director, Fr. Stephen Wojcichowsky, a complete set of the Institute’s journal, Logos, was presented to Archbishop Cyril Vasil, SJ by Fr. Peter Galadza at the Congregation’s offices in Rome. Archbishop Vasil, a Slovak Greek Catholic Jesuit, was consecrated bishop in June and immediately took up the position of secretary of the Congregation. Vasil is the youngest archbishop in the entire Catholic Church. After a distinguished career as professor of canon law at the famed Pontifical Oriental Institute (POI) in Rome, he was elected the POI’s rector. After little more than a year in that position, he was elevated to the archepiscopacy. As secretary of the Oriental Congregation, Archbishop Vasil is the next highest ranking official of the Congregation, after the Cardinal Prefect, Leonardo Sandri. The Congregation has oversight for all of the Eastern Catholic Churches throughout the world.
Archbishop Vasil was very pleased to receive the Sheptytsky Institute’s journal, and noted that it will be added to the Oriental Congregation’s library. Fr. Galadza told the Archbishop about plans to celebrate the Sheptytsky Institute’s twenty-fifth anniversary in 2011. It is hoped that a representative of the Oriental Congregation will be able to visit the Institute for one of the events marking the anniversary.
Archbishop Vasil was born in the historic Eastern Slovak city of Kosice. His father is also a Greek Catholic priest and was present in Rome this summer for his son’s consecration to the episcopate.
The Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies is an academic unit of the Faculty of theology of Saint Paul University. Through the faculty, it offers degree programs from the certificate (eight courses) to a bachelor’s, master’s, and Ph.D. Saint Paul University has the largest religion library in all of the Canada, and is one the ten largest in all of North America. Its size – over 500,000 volumes in theology, church history, canon law etc – is due to the fact that is contains the religion collection of the original University of Ottawa, founded over 150 years ago.

“Pure Platinum*: A Life Changing Experience”
at the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies (MASI)

A new tradition is developing at the Sheptytsky Institute, a true “Eastern Christian Feast for the Mind and Heart” – MASI Study Days.
Over 200 Eastern and Western Christians, united by their quest for authentic spiritual life in Christ, were assisted by some of the best contemporary theologians from around the globe.
Fr. John Behr, Dean and Chancellor of St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary in New York, Archimandrite Robert Taft, S.J. of the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome and Martha Shepherd of the Madonna House Apostolate in Ottawa were this year’s plenary speakers at the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies at Saint Paul University in Ottawa.
Workshops leaders included Fr. Shenouda Boutros, Fr. Andriy Chirovsky, Fr. Peter Galadza, Fr. Roman Galadza, Presvitera Denise Jillions, Fr. John Jillions, Fr. Maksym Lysack, Presvitera Yvonne Lysack, Fr. Andrew Onuferko, Fr. Stephen Wojcichowsky, Presvitera Melita Mudri-Zubacz.
Fr. John’s presentation was a beautiful addition to his recently published book, The
Mystery of Christ: Life in Death. Fr. Taft’s lecture on Liturgy as the source of authentic spirituality provided a truly inspiring and refreshing look at the Divine Service we attend every Sunday morning, so often forgetting its life-giving meaning. Martha Shepherd introduced the participants to the beauty and challenge of life in the spiritual desert as a remedy to the consumerist wilderness of the 21st century.
The highly successful second Study Days and the overwhelmingly positive feedback encourages the Institute to keep working and praying towards the next – third – MASI Study Days, tentatively scheduled for Ottawa from June 27-30, 2010.

At an international francophone conference “La Mystique Démystifiée,” organized by Saint Paul University, beautiful voices from Annunciation Orthodox Cathedral in Ottawa treated the Saint Paul University community and their guests to Eastern Christian church singing. Their concert prompted Prof. Fabrice Blais, the organizer of the conference, to remind the audience that here was confirmation that the human voice is the most beautiful musical instrument on Earth. Farther John Jillions, Rector of the Annunciation Orthodox Cathedral and Professor of the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies introduced the spiritual hymns, performed by the choir.
June 4, Ottawa

The Founder and first Director of the Sheptytsky Institute, Fr. Andriy Chirovsky addressed the participants of the international francophone conference “La Mystique Démystifiée,” organized by Saint Paul University Theology professor Fabrice Blais. His presentation ‘La quête mystique comme remède à phtharsis, la maladie du monde contemporain’ (The mystical quest as a remedy for phtharsis – disintegration – the illness of today’s world) provoked a wide discussion about lifestyles, moral choices, multi-tasking, stress and their connectedness to the phenomenon of the disintegration of the human being, Church and society. The keyword to the description of patristic spirituality is wholeness, integrity as opposed to phtharsis or disintegration. A human being on the mystical quest is a creature who turns first to his or her Creator for healing and wholeness.

Fr. Robert Taft, Fr. John Behr and Martha Shepherd
Plenary Speaker at Sheptytsky Institute Study Days
Ottawa - World-renowned liturgist, Fr. Robert Taft SJ, will head the list of plenary speakers at this year’s Sheptytsky Institute Study Days in Ottawa, July 2-4. After last year’s stunningly successful conference, The Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies (MASI) ofSaint Paul University immediately turned to Fr. Taft to be one of three speakers to address the entire assembly. Fr. Taft has taught at Rome’s Pontifical Oriental Institute since the 1970s and is the author of almost 20 books and more than 600 scholarly articles.
The other two plenary speakers will be Fr. John Behr, academic dean, St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary, New York and author of the ground-breaking The Way to Nicaea, and Martha Shepherd of Madonna House, the famed community founded by Catherine Doherty. They will speak on July 3 and 4 respectively.
The theme for this year’s Study Days is “Eastern Christian Spirituality.” Fr. Taft will treat liturgical spirituality. Fr. Behr will discuss spirituality from the perspective of the Cross. Ms. Shepherd will deal with the liberating power of silence. The Study Days are intended for a broad audience. Last year it drew more than 200 participants from as far away as California and Ukraine. Especially popular is the youth program, co-ordinated by Lisa Hladio of Pennsylvania. It enables parents to participate in the Study Days while their children engage in learning-games and crafts. This year will also include the popular cantor training program lead by Melita Mudri-Zubacz of Winnipeg and Fr. Roman Galadza of Brampton, Ontario.
The conference is described as “an Eastern Christian feast for the mind and heart.” It is devoted to studying how the Eastern Christian lifestyle - Gospel-centred and life-affirming - can thrive in the modern West. Each day begins with matins, followed by the Divine Liturgy. The plenary address is followed by break-out sessions, seminars and workshops, and the day ends with vespers. Many of the out-of-town participants reside at the new Saint Paul University residence. Within walking distance of Parliament Hill, the residence provides very affordable rates for the entire family. Meal plans are available in the university cafeteria for both residents and other participants.
The Study Days can be followed by two-weeks of university classes (July 6-18) for which six university credits can be earned. The two courses being taught this year are “Introduction to Eastern Christian Spirituality” by Fr. Maxym Lysack, and “General Introduction to the Eastern Churches” by Fr. Andrew Onuferko.

Ottawa’s Sheptytsky Institute Co-sponsors Evanko Plays in Kyiv
Kyiv – March 22 and 23 The Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies teamed up with the Ukrainian Catholic University of Lviv and the National University “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy” to bring to Kyiv two plays performed by Fr. Edward Evanko, a Sheptytsky Institute alumnus. The plays were “Damien” by Aldyth Morris and “Be Well and Prosper, My Beloved Ukraine” created by Fr. Evanko himself.

After the play "Damien": Fr. Peter Galadza of the Sheptytsky Institute, Marta Kolomayets, who provided logistical support, Bishop Shyrokorodiuk of Kyiv, the Belgian ambassador Marc Vinck and his wife, Fr. Evanko, the papal nuncio, Archbishop Ivan Jurkovic and the nunciature's first secretary.

“Damien” tells the story of Damien de Veuster, a nineteenth-century Belgian priest who died serving the lepers
of Molokai, Hawaii. “Be Well and Prosper” is a compilation of eye-witness accounts of the Holodomor interspersed with lyric Ukrainian folk melodies sung by Fr. Edward in his lilting tenor.
“The plays were very timely,” said Fr. Peter Galadza of the Sheptytsky Institute. “Fr. Damien will be canonized a saint in Rome this October, and of course, this year is the seventy-fifth anniversary of the genocide famine.” Galadza co-ordinated the Kyiv portion of Evanko’s tour of Ukraine.
Among the dignitaries at the staging of “Damien” were the Belgian ambassador to Ukraine, Marc Vinck and his wife, as well as the papal nuncio to Kyiv, Archbishop Ivan Jurkovic. Patriarch Lubomyr Husar was prevented from attending due to commitments in Lviv.
Having seen “Damien,” Vinck and Jurkovic have begun efforts to bring Fr. Evanko to Rome to perform the play at the canonization celebrations. “It’s a dream come true,” said Evanko. “I have performed the play everywhere from Australia to Lviv, and had always hoped that should Blessed Damien be canonized I would be able to stage it in Rome.” As for his visit to Ukraine, Evanko said: “I had not been to Ukraine since 1982. Then I couldn’t even visit my parent’s village. The ability to do so this time made it very emotional for me.”
Evanko’s play about the Holodomor was also well received at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Michael Reshitnyk of the Canadian Embassy in Kyiv commented: “Evanko’s creation is very moving. It’s an excellent introduction to the Holodomor.” Most of the audience at Kyiv-Mohyla were English students or ex-pats from English-speaking countries.
Before his ordination to the priesthood in 2005, Fr. Evanko had appeared in over 200 musicals in Canada, the USA and Japan. In the 1960s he hosted his own national (Canadian) television series, “The Ed Evanko Show.” He is presently pastor of the Ukrainian Catholic parish in Richmond, British Columbia.

Ottawa Premiere of the film “A Kingdom Reborn” at
Saint Paul University
March 7, 2009. Ottawa:
The Sheptytsky Institute invited members of the Ottawa public to meet Dr. Dani Stodilka, the producer and director of “A Kingdom Reborn,” at the premiere of her beautiful film documentary on the history, culture and spirituality of Western Ukraine.
Dr. Stodilka was warmly greeted by the audience and answered questions about the making of this film as well as her future artistic plans. Judging by the quality of the production, we were delighted to learn that the young and talented Canadian filmmaker and member of the Canadian Film and Television Production Association has more ongoing projects for us to anticipate.
Among the prominent participants at the event were the Rector of Saint Paul University – the Rev. Dr. Dale Schlitt, Ukraine’s Cultural Attaché – Ms. Olena Zakharova, and the Ambassador of Ukraine to Canada – His Excellency Dr. Ihor Ostash who greeted the assembly with warm words of welcome. Almost 200 people were present to enjoy the impressive film presentation, and to meet personally with Dr. Stodilka at the wine and cheese reception which followed.
At the conclusion of the film, Professor Peter Galadza of the Sheptytsky Institute addressed the audience with an inspiring appeal to offer goodwill donations to support students from Ukraine who study at Saint Paul University. These women and men come from Ukraine to avail themselves of the academically stimulating atmosphere of the Sheptytsky Institute and Saint Paul University and to have access to the largest theological library in Canada. Most importantly, they come to study in order to return to Ukraine and to help in her spiritual rebirth as depicted in “A Kingdom Reborn”.
