Excerpt: "'This parish is a symbol of revival, healing, as well as a witness to the resurrection of the Ukrainian Church in the United States. Even when the Church was persecuted in her homeland, the light of hope shone upon our people. Today we want to thank God for our great confessor of faith, the witness of the resurrection and the carrier of God's power of Patriarch Yosyp Slipyi,' the Head of the UGCC said in a speech during the festive Liturgy."(Submitted on June 29, 2024, by Sean P.
