2021 True Parents' Birthday & Other Holy Days
True Parents’ Birthday & Foundation Day Anniversary
Celebration on Feb. 24 (23 in the USA)
February 10, 2021
Dear beloved Heavenly Parent’s Holy Community members,
Thank you all for your investment and effort in furthering the work of Heavenly Parent and True Parents. Dr. Yong just returned from Korea after meeting with True Mother. We are happy to say that Mother is looking healthy and strong. She sends her love to us, and we hope that we can see her back in America soon. Despite all the challenges, especially in the past year, True Mother showed the way forward with foresight and determination.
We are now just weeks away from the 2021 Holy Day season. True Parents’ Birthday will take place on Wednesday, February 17, and the 8th Anniversary of Foundation Day will be on Wednesday, February 24. Due to the ongoing concerns of COVID-19, True Mother decided to hold one celebration for both Holy Days on February 24. This celebration will be mostly virtual, and we expect the broadcast to take place on February 23 in the USA. As always, we will update you with the broadcast details as they become available.
We do, however, encourage you to observe True Parents’ Birthday locally or at your homes as well on February 17. Please consider any guidelines before planning any public gatherings.
Also, please note that this year, following True Mother’s announcement on May 8, 2020, True Heavenly Parent’s Day will be celebrated with True Parents’ Holy Wedding Anniversary on 3.16 of the Heavenly Calendar, which is on April 27, 2021.
In America, as you know, we’ve identified our national goals for the second 7-year course. And though we cannot be in person in Korea to greet True Mother, let’s be sure to join this celebration and other events commemorating True Parents’ Birthday as you can see from the attached international memo.
This is also our time to bring our own birthday gift to True Parents. We invite you to make your Holy Day Offering today. The international memo recommends a donation of $210 per family and $120 per individual. As always, your offering of any amount is appreciated and gratefully accepted. You may give through your local church or online. [Los Angeles members can send a check payable to HSA-UWC, memo “TP Birthday” to 950 Holly Vista Dr., Pasadena, CA 91105, attn: Financial Office. Donate online at https://lafamilychurch.org/donate. ]
Let us bring our offering of utmost sincerity to Heavenly Parent and True Parents, and let’s determine together to offer a restored America through fulfilling our national goals.
Sincerely,
Dr. Chung Sik Yong, Regional President
Rev. Naokimi Ushiroda, President
