Our brothers and sisters in Ukraine hope and pray that we here in America do not forget them in their trials and tribulations of war. They hope and expect us to 1) pray for them and 2) support them.
And this is exactly what we do here at SS Peter & Paul, the center of all things Ukrainian in Montgomery county. So don't stay home Saturdays and Sundays. Come to Church and pray with us. Both God and our kin in blood and spirit need us NOW, need our prayers and need our support! |
Praying for Peace in UkraineYou can still send in monetary donations for aiding our Ukrainian sisters and brothers in this time of need.
Please know that all donations will directly support humanitarian efforts through our Archbishop's initiatives just write your check to SS Peter & Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church *** Our Mailing Address: SS. Peter & Paul Ukrainian Church PO Box 126 Bridgeport, PA 19405 
Our Faith calls us to fellowship, our God calls us to communion.
May we learn to be conduits that direct God's healing touch to our suffering brothers and sisters so that their despair may be transformed into hope. "My whole being hopes in the Lord, more than the watchman who waits for daybreak (Psalm 130:6) The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:5) |
