	On 18 July, 1924, Sophia (Sophie) Semenchuk was born at Narol, Manitoba, to Panteleimon and Pearl (Parasceva) Semenchuk. Sophie had 7 siblings, of which she was born second-last. The siblings were : her sisters, Marion, Anna, Katherine and Emilie ; her brothers, Arthur, Jack and Henry. When she was a young woman, Sophie worked in a sewing-factory in Winnipeg. There, she learned how to make gowns and to do other fine tailoring, so that she could later make clothes for her children, and coverings for the [https://orthodowiki.org/Altar Holy Table] and other furniture in the Temple.

	John Barchyn and Sophie Semenchuk, who were [https://orthodowiki.org/Marriage married] in 1956, raised their children on the farm at Narol. As their hands were joined at their Crowning, so they lived their life together hand-in-hand. Sophie was able, because of her time working in the factory, to take on sewing projects at home which could supplement the family’s income. Because in those days the Temple of Saint Nicholas could not accommodate any social functions (there was no basement or hall), all cooking and much of the eating happened at the Barchyn farm. In the days before refrigeration, cooked food was kept cool in the summer by hanging it in long, narrow containers from the edge of the well, and suspending them just above the level of the water. Of course, these products included “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierogi perogies]” and “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabbage_roll holubtsi]”. Even in her senior years as a widow, Sophie continued to teach the younger people about the methods for making these and other foods, and in particular how to par-boil cabbage for the “holubtsi”.

	Except for a short stint in the army during [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II World War II], John was a market-gardener who belonged to the Manitoba Vegetable Producers Marketing Board (now "[https://www.peakmarket.com/ Peak of the Market]"). At local markets, when his produce would be compared with that of mass-producers, John was well-known for his high-quality zucchini, cucumbers, potatoes, onions, peas, and tomatoes, all of which were hand-picked and highly appreciated. John always maintained his fields well : weeds were not acceptable. As with other such small farms, pigs and were very present. He also served as the Secretary-Treasurer for the Grower’s Co-op from 1944 to 1982, until suburban housing development in the area forced its closure. During these years, when finances for the family were sometimes too limited, John would find work in the winter-time in a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_beet sugar-beet] factory, in order to supplement the income.		'''Sophie's works'''

	John loved to go dancing with Sophie. Dance-halls were to be found everywhere in earlier days. He had good shoes just for dancing. He stood as best man at many weddings. Many pictures from them were to be found in the Barchyn house. John also became godfather to many. He had a very lively sense of humour ; he loved to laugh ; he loved to hear a funny story, and he loved to tell one. During hard times, the family saw little money, if any. Nevertheless, they were able to grow or to raise what they needed, and the Barchyns were always known for their hospitality, no matter how hard the times.

	John and Sophie received from the Lord 2 children, Derek and Marlene. Later on, after completing his education, Derek moved to [https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/airdrie#:~:text=Airdrie%2C%20AB%2C%20incorporated%20as%20a,%2C%2042%2C564%20(2011%20census).&text=The%20City%20of%20Airdrie%20is,city%20limits%2C%20straddling%20Highway%202. Airdrie], [https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/alberta Alberta] (because of having found work there). Marlene married Mervyn Enns and settled on Henderson Highway across from where her parents lived. When their grand-children began to arrive, it was Sophie (helped by John) who would care for them much of the time, because both parents had jobs that took them away every week-day. The grand-parents particularly nurtured them. They would give them breakfast before school, look after them and give them snacks during after-school hours, and care for them at other times as well. This took considerable pressure off the parents.		John and Sophie received from the Lord 2 children, Derek and Marlene.

	John saw, and he also participated in the renovation and reconstruction works of the more recent years on the Saint Nicholas Temple (which were led by Steve Bilan). This reconstruction included the major work of raising the Temple-building, constructing a basement, and placing the existing building on that basement. This ambitious undertaking allowed for the introduction of “indoor-plumbing” and electricity. There is now a very functional kitchen (as required by law) and a social-hall. An elevator was installed near the entrance to the Temple in June, 2007, and John was one of the first to try it out. However, he made use of it only a few times prior to his repose. John was a big supporter of the elevator because of his own declining health, and also because of his concern for the many others who would benefit from it.		'''Participation in the renovations'''
