Alas we had to repost this summary because of technical problems. Roman was the last of the original members of the Homin Ukrainian Male choir based in Manchester UK. Roman was born in Ukraine and ended up in a POW camp in Rimini, where a Male Voice Choir called Burlaka was formed. From the warmth of Italy to the wet climes of Lancashire (via a camp in Sheffield) Roman toured industrial areas with a choir where he met his wife Oxana at a concert in Bolton soon married and settled in Rochdale. He joined Homin in Manchester that initially was led by Eugene Pasika and then by Jaroslav Babuniak for a number of decades. Roman's early work at Marland hospital, led him to save a number of patients from. a fire and on one of the trips that the Homin choir took to participate in the LLangollen Eistedfodd saved a child from the river that flows through the picturesque village. The Homin choir lasted for many decades and many participated in it. It was inordinately kind of those members who were left to attend the mass and panachyda for Roman. Ironically, because of careers and Universities, this was the only event where the three Paraszczak brothers sang in Homin together. Luckily Danyo brought his DAT recorder which did an outstanding job given that it was placed behind the choir and helped by the acoustics of this fine church The members of Homin who made the effort to attend and sing at the Ukrainian Catholic Church of St Mary and St James on John Street include: Петро Вихрій (диригент) Peter Vychrij (conductor and excellent soloist), Стефан Мороз (Stephen Moroz who was in Roman's troop at the Scouts camp in Llysfaen Wales and whose father helped create that camp and was himself a Plastun), Славко Сиваник ( Slavko Sywanyk, who together with his brother MIke and father were the mainstays of Homin for decades), Славко Копчик (Slawko Kopczyk), Мирось Паращак (Myros Paraszczak the middle of 3 sons of Roman and Oxana and the Doctor in the Family,), Мирось Остапюк(Myros Ostapiuk), Стефан Ґалій (Stephen Galij), Отець Богдан Матвійчук (Father Bohdan Matvijczuk a good friend of the family who grew up on West Street and rode tricycles with the Paraszczak brothers) Роман Литвинів, (Roman Lytvyniv), Михайло Сиваник (Mike Sywanyk a founder member of the Homin :"luxury club"), Отець Євген Небесняк (Father Eugene Nebesniak), Михайло Ониськів (Michael Onyskiw), Стефан Замолінський (Stephem Zamolinskyj), Борис Рейнчук (Boris Reynchuk), Богдан “ Даньо“ Паращак ( the youngest of the 3 Paraszcak brothers and the musician responsible for helping the ROH with their "Songs for Ukraine" series), Славко Тимчишин (Slavko Tymczyshyn), Юрко Паращак (Jurij Paraszczak, the oldest of the 3 brothers), Славко Бабуняк (Slavko Babyniak, son of Jaroslav, the conductor of the original Homin choir and a terrific Basss voice), Славко Кривонос( Slavko Kryvonos, son of Kryvonos who predecessed his son as a bass and passed on that resonant voice to his son). Our friends Олег Шкандрій (Oleh Shkandrij) and Іван Кулик (Ivan Kulyk). The entire Paraszczak family came to this mass after having attended a similar one for Roman's wife Oxana, only a few months earlier in the same location. Despite the fact that the various mambers of Homin had not practised this mass together ,the sound is authentically Homin and supported by the melodious tones of Father Ben, who has an excellent voice.

The protodeacon has a lovley voice, love the fact that he used some slavonic, unfortunate he's a heretic same with the rest of them, sad that they are heretics, come home my dear brothers, return to orthodoxy

I don't know what they're singing, but it sounds like it's coming from heaven

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️..only in the Catholic Church will you experience the universality of the Church.. where a Byzantine Greek bishop concelebrates with an oriental Coptic bishop and a Latin rite bishop.. splendid!!!

Interessant Übersetzung auf griechisch in Englisch 🤓 X= CH

Does anyone know who the bishop is behind the cardinal are 2:40?

Actuality they don't do the Mass in the Greek way. The music in Greek ritual is monophonic, they have a Slavic polyphonic music. The priest mast face the eastern side of the temple when he serves the mass.

Simply stunning music !

That’s call ecumenism and that’s a sin to participate in this kind of rituals

Remain FAITHFUL to the Holy Church of CHRIST 🙏💞🌹 Speak strong and loud Even if they Impose on us the face mask. Blessings to All the World from Mexico ❤️❤️❤️

I am from India and what a joy it is for us Catholics to have so many liturgical rites.. I myself have participated in the three rites prevelant in our country... the Latin rite, and the two eastern syriac rites- the syro malabar and syro malankara liturgy...hoping to be part of a byzantine liturgy in the near future... ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The latin rite bishops should have removed their mitres at the reading of the holy Gospel

What is the name of the entrance hymn that was sung? Very beautiful.

It looks like it's not in english

Really enjoyed listening to this Liturgy composed by K. Stetsenko. The choir brings out the best of this beautiful music. Have saved it so I can listen to it over and over again.

Fabulous performance, brought back all the emotions felt at the time of the service in the beautiful Saint Sulpice of Paris. The tragedy of this event in Ukraine in the early 1930s is in the unimaginable suffering of millions, largely unknown to the rest of the world until many decades later....

Vichna Pam'yat'. I am honoured to be a part of The Anniversary Chorus. Thank you Danny Parashchak for conducting.

What a powerful twelve and half minutes and loved every second.

A truly enjoyable experience from start to finish, please keep me posted for any live events as I would love to experience this in person!

One of the best one hour and forty-two minutes a person could wish to spend, listening to this performance by the Anniversary Chorus. A thoroughly enjoyable masterpiece of church choir singing of operatic proportions. Hearing and watching the superimposed photographs on screen, and quickly dispelling in one's mind what were originally stills, the choir brings to life the whole tragic human experience. The Anniversary Chorus, consisting of singers from the length and breadth of the United Kingdom, who have devoted their time and energy rehearsing once a month, express through their sublime voices both their dedication and profound ethnic bond to their paternal roots, instilled, shaped and nurtured by their conductor Bohdan Parashchak. His leadership and understanding of the great Ukrainian composer, Kyrylo Stetsenko, guide the choir along a steadily rising trajectory to then ultimately scale the peaks of a crescendo, thus echoing the heights of the twin towers of a Baroque church. Whilst listening to the Requiem, I was transfixed with emotion and melancholy, as images of the Holodomor appeared on screen, each still describing and illustrating the depths of pain, relentless torture and horrifically crushing death to which Stalin heinously subjected millions of Ukrainians.

Stunning!

Amen <3 Salvation in Christ <3 <3

Неймовірний хор!

To all Roman Rite Catholics, preface is at 1:15:00

I am from South America, I see the beauty of the church and how Catholic it is and I feel very proud.

Brilliant!
