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 UkraineWe continually pray for all who travel to the safety of neighboring nations as well as those who fight for freedom, and the perseverance of liberty, justice, and independence.
*** We continually pray as one united voice throughout all of our churches, throughout our great nation, and throughout all countries in our world that our Lord Jesus will grant our People Freedom, Democracy, and Peace. *** You 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 |
We invite all our faithful, especially all our school parents, to share with us our traditional
Ukrainian supper on December 17th around 11 am in our school hall. This meal will be especially historical because we will honor our ancestors who established this parish 100 years ago. This event is free for all our guests, friends, and parents. Our next live streaming service
will be announced. Remember it will be marked "live". You can always watch the previously recorded Liturgies through our YouTube Channel. Come join us in prayer
either in church or at home as we sing, pray and praise our Lord together. Click here to View on our YouTube Channel |
We will soon distribute collection envelopes to be used in 2024. All our adults will receive their individual box of envelopes for use during collection time at Divine Liturgy. We are grateful to all who donate help us operate our school, Church, and cemetery. Thank you.
We have begun the Pre-Christmas fast called St. Philip's Fast. From now until Christmas we are bound to fast from all meat every Friday. We fast so that we can feast on Christmas!

Our tentative plans are leaning towards having our centennial banquet on Sunday, September 15th, 2024 in our parish hall.
The day of celebration will begin at noon with a Divine Liturgy of Thanksgiving. Archbishop Borys will be the main celebrant. The banquet will follow starting around @ 3 pm with entertainment that would include the famous Voloshky Dancers. |
We will keep you informed as these
tentative plans become finalized in the following months. |
We appreciate all of our volunteers for our last event in our Hall.
We are so blessed with our wonderful volunteers who took the time and effort to lend a helping hand and welcome our guests to our beautiful hall and church grounds. We are able to serve the public by hosting the bi-weekly meeting of the local AA group, as well as both primary and general elections. In addition, our hall is the official emergency site for the Bridgeport School. We will keep you posted on any future events. |
We truly appreciate all who volunteer, because without their selfless and generous acts, we would not have a successful catering ministry!
Many blessings, Much love and gratitude go out to everyone who helped in anyway! Just remember that Volunteers are always welcomed to help in anyway. Please keep this in mind when you are planning your own To Do Lists. One person can make a difference! And just remember that We can't do without all of YOU! |
