St Michael Ukrainian Catholic reviews
2 Very welcoming community! Services in English and Ukrainian, majority spoken depends on the week you attend but there nifty little pew books will help you through the liturgy:)
I highly recommend it
The warmest, most welcoming community! You don't have to be ethnically Ukrainian to attend this church. The interior is beautiful, the worship is reverent, and the hospitality is amazing! Divine Liturgy is predominantly in English on the first and third Sundays, with more Ukrainian on the other Sundays, but the preaching is always in both languages. Liturgy is usually at 10 AM on Sundays. The iconostasis dates back to 1911. It was a gift from a Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Minnesota that had been combined with another parish.
Don’t be fooled by the simple brick exterior. You will be amazed when you enter the church proper (there is also a comfortable hall, offices, a play room and a library/ classroom where Catechesis for the children occurs during the homily on Sundays and feasts. The Divine Liturgy is a very sensate experience. All the senses are involved. Everything is sung, in three and four part harmony, with no musical instruments. This church identifies itself as orthodox in faith and catholic in love. It is in full communion with Rome, and therefore a place where Roman Catholics can receive Holy Communion and fulfill their Sunday Mass obligation. The Ukrainian Greco-Catholic Church chooses to live the fullness of Eastern Orthodox Tradition in the spirit if the first millennium, in full and visible communion with Rome and the other 23 Eastern Catholic Churches within the Catholic Communion, all of whom acknowledge the leadership of the Pope of Rome, and live their ancient Eastern traditions without impedance from the Latin or Roman Church.
Visit, and find out how much bigger the Catholic Church is than you have hitherto experienced. Here you will find robust but reverent liturgy and a more mystical approach. Political correctness, popular social causes are not emphasized as much as the Holiness of God, and our personal and corporate journey towards an intimate life forever with God, as His adopted sons and daughters. Come, let us worship. Come and see!
