The Ukrainian community came together Nov. 24 in a show of Christian unity for Holodomor Memorial Day. Both Orthodox and Catholics met at New Westminster's St. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church for a ceremony... http://www.bccatholic.ca//2203-many-commemorate-the-holodo

"Parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Saints Peter and Paul are trying to block the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada (UOCC) from taking possession of the church...The church was purchased by the congregation in 1985." http://www.newwestnewsleader.com/news/145944685.html

"Most of us have grown up in churches that are both Orthodox and Ukrainian. Our religion and ethnicity are one. Our communities revolve around this fact...The people in New Westminster, BC, who are suing the UOCC for the return of the deed to their church, looked for a solution -- they had only two choices, it was either join the Kyivan Patriarchate as a member church or shut its doors and have the Consistory assume title and sell their property. They chose to join the KP rather than be without a church. Ask yourself the question -- what would you do if you were told you had to close down your church and that the Consistory would sell the land and keep the proceeds? Would you fight to save it?" http://www.willzuzak.ca//ukr/UkrNews20121025Bayrachny.html
