At the beginning of the Liturgy when the Baptism should also take place. Then they will be given First Communion if they haven’t received yet, just before everyone receives.
. Do you know what the exact rite is like? I’m only familiar with the OF Latin Church confirmation rite. I know this won’t happen for a while but I’m curious lol!I have a video recording of a baptism in our Ukrainian parish Its very similar to the Latin Rite in many aspects. You can search for St. Elias in Brampton, Ontario on YouTube to see some videos. Although your parish may not celebrate it exactly like that, but thats a good place to see Ukrainian Catholic traditions.Thank you for your response
Prayers for your continued growth.thank you! We hope to begin our liturgical life in late August/early September. GO IU lol!

How old are your kids? I’ve always loved the Byzantine rite.UPDATE:
My 3 kids where finally Chrismated this past Sunday and received their first Communion! We will officially be transferring to the UGCC later this year…probably in early Fall.
All 3 kids did very well with the Chrismation and Communion (we had practiced for a few weeks before hand at home) and my oldest also made his first Confession. Our priest used to be with the OCA so our Liturgies are void of latinizations, which is nice
Your parish’s videos are awesome. You seem to have an absolutely wonderful parish.
My kids are 8, 5 (almost 5 and a half) and 2 and a half.
. Yes we did have to have permission from the Roman Catholic Bishop to have the kids go through this early…in our diocese Confirmation is done in 8th grade and you have to have the kids go through religious ed or be enrolled in one of the Catholic schools (the latter isn’t an option for us for several reasons and the former was not very thorough IMO). It wasn’t hard…the bishop was more than willing I pray for you on your transfer to the Ukrainian Church.My kids are 8, 5 (almost 5 and a half) and 2 and a half.
Yes we are still canonically Roman Rite but we are formally transferring later this year…we live the Byzantine way of life as much as possible
St. Elias wasn’t my parish. But they are indeed awesome.
thank youI pray for you on your transfer to the Ukrainian Church.
I guess your kids will learn a little bit of Ukrainian too. They can show off their language skills to their friends at school.
actually I doubt that our kids will learn any Ukrainian here…no one in this mission is ethnically Ukrainian lol! we have a 100% English liturgy…none of us were born into Orthodox families or Eastern Catholic families…we were all either protestant (Lutheran, Anglican or non-denom) or Roman Catholic.God grant them many years!UPDATE:
