NT Ukrainian Community Easter Celebration and Blessing

About this event

On Easter Monday, Ukrainians from Darwin and the surrounding area gathered at Melaleuca Australia, 24 McLachlan Street, Darwin, to continue celebrating Easter together in a warm and welcoming setting.

Father Ihor Holovko led the community in prayer and offered a blessing. The gathering gave adults and children an opportunity to spend time together, maintain Ukrainian Easter traditions, and feel supported by their community far from Ukraine.

UAANT sincerely thanks our good friends and partners at Melaleuca Australia for their hospitality, their ongoing support for Ukrainians, and for providing the venue for this important community occasion.
