Ward 4 councillor Stephan Kinach said up to 65 Ukrainian families are now calling the Sault and immediate area home
The Ukrainian flag is flying over the Civic Centre in Sault Ste. Marie and residents and newcomers mark one year since that country was invaded.
“I will mention it in my preaching, but it’s not my focus. Certainly the war and different aspects and moral complexities that arise in war I do mention when it is appropriate,” said Hayes.“In that instance I had to be very clear in saying what forgiveness is and is not,” said Hayes. “If you hurt me and I forgive you, I am not saying what you did was okay. If you hurt me and I forgive you, what I am actually doing is choosing to release any anger or bitterness or resentment I have against you.
Hayes said some come to his church and some do not, but he and some members of the congregation hope St. Mary’s can hold more events and be a sort of hub for the newcomer community. The same day, city council approved his resolution to support Ukraine and its people in response to the war.”I’d ask everyone to keep Ukraine in their thoughts and their prayers today and looking forward because we are going to need the support and to put some pressure on your elected officials to continue supporting Ukraine,” he said.
