SS PETER & PAUL FEAST DAY: On the 29th of June our Eastern Church celebrates with great solemnity the feast, which in our liturgical books is called “The Holy Illustrious and Ever-praised Major Apostles, Peter & Paul.” Both Apostles are distinguished for their character, their zealous apostolic labors and their great cult in holy Church. We owe to the Holy Apostles the priceless treasure of the Christian faith. They handed Christ’s teachings down to us. From them, we received the Holy Gospels and the letters of the Apostles. They laid a firm foundation for the Church of Christ. This is a Holy Day of Obligation and Liturgy is Tuesday, June 29th at 10:00 AM. Please attend this Liturgy, as it is the namesake of our Parish.
PILGRIMAGE: A Pilgrimage to Sloatsburg, NY for a day of Prayer, Healing Service, Stations of the Cross, Moleben to the Mother of God and more spiritual services is being sponsored by the League of Ukrainian Catholics on Sunday, August 15th.

Reservations are limited.
