Pivniak Family Update

On Thursday, June 13, Ian and Pat Mowat from st benedict’s table hosted a dessert party to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Pivniak’s arrival in Winnipeg.  Sandi Mielitz attended and is happy to report that the Pivniaks are doing very well.  They are renting a house in the north end near the Ukrainian Catholic school that the children are going to.  The children are thriving, enjoying school and speaking English like natives.

Miraculously, Taras now has a full-time contract as a bass player in the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.  Congratulations to him as these positions do not come up often and are very competitive.  Further, when in Ukraine, Taras started composing.  He has written a symphony which the WSO wants to perform this fall!

Thanks to all the All Saints people who donated and/or volunteered to help give the Pivniaks a great start in their new life in Canada!
