On Sunday, November 16, 2025, our parish welcomed young adults for another gathering of the Young Adult Group. After the Holy Liturgy and a shared lunch, around 17 young people met at St. Nicholas House, where the evening began with a prayerful reflection on a passage from Sacred Scripture. This meeting also brought together students from the University of Mary in Bismarck, who recently expressed a desire to become involved in our community. Their interest began after Father Stepan Ivanchyk celebrated an Eastern Catholic Divine Liturgy on campus earlier this month, an event that drew nearly 300 students and sparked a renewed curiosity toward the Eastern Catholic tradition. Following the Scriptural reflection, the group enjoyed time together playing the game Mafia. The conversations, laughter, and warm atmosphere made the hours pass quickly. As the sun began to set, the meeting concluded with a sense of gratitude for fellowship, faith, and the growing community of young adults within our eparchy. Such gatherings continue to strengthen bonds, deepen spiritual life, and inspire young people to remain active in parish and eparchial life.
