On March 29, 2023, Lesia Sianchuk, a long time Redemptorist Associate of the Canadian Province, joined a group of Redemptorists and Partners in Mission via Zoom to discuss the life and spirit of Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky. She also shared some of her personal
experiences of participating in the first North American Dialogue in 1989, which has since evolved into what we today call Partners in Mission.
Our deepest gratitude to Lesia for sharing her love of our Redemptorist Family and our Redemptorist Ukranian Martyr and Bishop, Blessed Vasyl. We pray that the witness of the great sacrifices of Blessed Vasyl for his faith helps us bear our crosses with joy and hope, bringing us the fruits of love, hope and peace, especially in Ukraine.
