Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts

As you can see in our services there’re the Liturgies of the Presanctified Gifts scheduled on Wednesdays at 6 pm.

We hope this schedule better serves the needs of our parishioners who work on weekends and also to reinvigorate the forces of the fasting people.

For this purpose the confession takes place during this Liturgy.

If you wish to Commune on the Liurgy of the Presanctified Gifts you need to abstain from water or food from 12 pm that day.

We welcome you to join us in prayer.

Vera Olshefsky / November 11, 1933 – February 19, 2014

Vera Olshefsky

November 11, 1933 – February 19, 2014

It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of Vera Olshefsky (born Desatnyk) on February 19 at the age of 80 years old. Left to mourn is her loving husband of 62 years Charles, son’s Bill (Joyce) and Tom (Lucie) as well as Baba to Alexandra, Andrei & Elisaveta, along with her brother Walter. Vera was a Baba to many.

Her ability to find the best in everyone was only surpassed by her natural strength as well as her candor in telling it as she saw it. BIG THANKS go out to all of the staff & volunteers at the Montreal General Palliative care facility. They all became an extended part of the family these last few weeks and will be fondly remembered. Vera was a rebel with a cause and she always ensured that her family came first. It is now time to return the favor. Vera’s final resting place will be at the Mount Royal Funeral Complex 1297 Chemin de la Foret, Outremont, Quebec. Visitation will be on Monday February 24 from 4:00 to 9:00PM. Panachida will be at 7:00PM. The service in the Mount Royal Chapel will be on Tuesday February 25 at 11:00AM. Burial & reception will follow the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate if donations in Vera’s name could be made to the Palliative Care Unit of the Montreal General Hospital.
