'This awful war': Ukrainians find reprieve far from home at Edmonton church

Archpriest Cornell Zubritsky of the Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Edmonton supports Ukrainian congregants affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine, as many use air raid siren apps to stay updated on alerts from home.
About 300,000 Ukrainians have arrived in Canada on emergency visas since 2022, creating a renewed community at the church despite previous declines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Congregant Snizhana Kshetska expressed a desire to return to Ukraine one day to reunite with her family and friends after being in Canada since the war began.
Zubritsky mentioned that he now assists attendees with job searches and immigration concerns, as many are anxious about a potential decrease in immigration allowances.
