Eparchial Family Retreat Weekend

Family Retreat WeekendSeptember 11–13, 2026 | Our Lady of Victory Camp, Alberta

Step away from the busy pace of everyday life and give your family the gift of a weekend filled with prayer, renewal, and joyful fellowship. The Family Retreat Weekend is a special opportunity for married couples and their children to come together in faith, deepen their love for one another, and experience God’s presence in the heart of family life.

Throughout the weekend, parents will be invited into meaningful talks and reflection, while children and youth will enjoy age-appropriate programs designed especially for them. With presentations and activities in both English and Ukrainian, the retreat creates a welcoming space for the whole family to grow together in faith, hope, and love.

Our keynote speaker, Fr. Mykhailo Ozorovych, will guide us through powerful reflections on:

  • God’s presence in the family.
  • How families grow together in faith.
  • How we, as a family, witness to the Truth.
  • How families serve each other and, together, serve others.

Fr. Mykhailo is the pastor of Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of New Westminster, Canada. Born and raised in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, he continued his theological formation in Canada and has served faithfully as a priest since 2017. He is married to Olesia Bachevska, and they are blessed with four children.

The retreat fee is $325 per family, which includes accommodation and meals. Registration deadline: August 1, 2026. Registration will close once capacity is reached.
