Holy Trinity Catholic Women’s League Teaches Easter Traditions

President UCWLC - Submitted

Ukrainian Catholic traditions have a rich history that dates back centuries. These traditions are an important part of Ukrainian culture and have been preserved and passed down from generation to generation. Our Ukrainian Catholic Women’s League strongly believes in order to keep these traditions alive it is important to teach them to the younger generation.

Over a period of five days we invited over 160 students to learn to make Paska, (Easter bread) and decorate Pysanka, (Easter eggs). Participation of students included: St. Martin’s, St. Mary’s and A L Horton schools.

Our ladies’ league is very proud to be teaching students ranging from kindergarten to grade 11 this year. We have been teaching our Ukrainian Eastern rite traditions and culture to the students for over 25 years. Our goal is for students to have a better understanding of our culture and traditions and to develop a greater appreciation for our Ukrainian culture.
