Leadership Message
During the month of May, it is a special time to pay homage to our Blessed Mother Mary. Mary is the daughter of God the Father, the bride of the Holy Spirit, and the mother of Jesus. As Gabriel said in a message from God, “Hail Mary!” As Catholics, we agree with this wholeheartedly. she deserves an entire month in her honour.
It is also the month in which the earth springs into bloom; we start thinking about planting gardens, family picnics and making vacation plans. Change is all around us, followed by opportunities for growth and connections.

We are St. Sophia’s Ukrainian Catholic Parish… a community of over 250 members mostly residing in and around Strathcona County. This year is a very exciting time for our Parish as we have made the announcement to start development of a brand new church in Sherwood Park. Over the years we have had many fundraisers to realize this goal and we are now commencing preparations for our 7th Annual Golf Tournament and once again are looking for your support.
The primary focus of the tournament is to have fun and encourage interaction amongst St. Sophia parishioners and friends, while raising much-needed funds for the parish and its goal of building our new church in the community.
The tournament will be held at Broadmoor Golf Course on Saturday, June 9th (see additional information below). Just like last year, there will be the many complimentary food and beverage holes for golfers to enjoy.
There also will be an Early Bird Prize drawn for those golfers that register and pay by Monday, May 7th. The Early Bird Prize is a round of golf including a cart and dinner at the Broadmoor Golf Course – valued at over $400!
Last year we had a full roster for the tournament and registrations are already filling up quickly!
Hope to see you out there!
