St. Michael the Archangel - The First Ukrainian Catholic Church in USA

06/14/2026

Beloved faithful, there are abundant graces that are bestowed upon those who hasten to the Church early, arriving in time for quiet prayer and preparation before the Divine Liturgy. In this way we seek the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who said, ‘My peace I give unto you.’ By coming promptly, we imitate the holy zeal of the saints and enter more deeply into the sacred mystery of Heaven on earth.
Today, those who arrived early were granted a beautiful blessing by His Grace, our beloved Metropolitan Borys Gudziak.
God grant him many years! Εἰς πολλὰ ἔτη, Δέσποτα!

Happy Mother's Day

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

St. John Paul II:
“Thank you, women who are mothers! You have sheltered human beings within yourselves in a unique experience of joy and travail. This experience makes you become God’s own smile upon the newborn child, the one who guides your child’s first steps, who helps it to grow, and who is the anchor as the child makes its way along the journey of life.”

“Motherhood then becomes a kind of priesthood. She brings God to man by preparing the flesh in which the soul will be implanted; she brings man to God in offering the child back again to the Creator … she is nature’s constant challenge to death, the bearer of cosmic plentitude, the herald of eternal realities, God’s great cooperator.”

St. Teresa Of Calcutta:
“That special power of loving that belongs to a woman is seen most clearly when she becomes a mother. Motherhood is the gift of God to women. How grateful we must be to God for this wonderful gift that brings such joy to the whole world, women and men alike!”
