Orphans in Ukraine

Scranton’s St. Vladimir Ukrainian Greek Catholic parishioners have “adopted” children living in an orphanage in Kolomyia, Western Ukraine. On a regular basis articles of clothing, foot wear and goodies are sent to these beautiful boys and girls who are without parents due to war, illness or abandonment. Pictured are some of the girls who posed with a portion of the gifts they recently received from their friends in America.

Podyaka / Thank You

Thank you Most Loyal Priest Myron and church members:

We thank you for the Christian donation for the orphanage of St. Nicholas in the city of Kolomyia. And for your repeated help for the orphan children, in the honor of God, and for the good of the Ukrainian nation.

We send you greetings and pray the Most Merciful Lord Jesus Christ blesses you with strength and good health. May Saint Nicholas beseech God’s embrace and the Blessed Mother grant you and your family strength in spirit and body for many happy and blessed years.

Sister Veronica

Director of the Orphanage of St. Nicholas in Kolomyia, Ukraine

Christmas Bus trip

Some might think it’s too early to begin taking reservations for the upcoming December 9 bus trip to New York City, however several area organizations have begun advertising and accepting reservations for their December trips. So, here’s the scoop on our trip:

CHRISTMASTIME BUS TRIP TO NEW YORK CITY

On Saturday, December 9, 2017, Scranton’s St. Vladimir Ukrainian Greek Catholic Parish is sponsoring a Christmastime bus trip to New York City. Stops will include the Ukrainian Village on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Bryant Park Outdoor Christmas Shoppes and the mid-town Rockefeller Center/Fifth Avenue/Times Square area. Participants are also welcome to do their own thing for all or part of the day if they so wish.

The 55 passenger bus would depart from Edwardsville’s St. Vladimir Church, 70 Zerby Avenue at 8:00am provided there are sufficient riders from the Edwardsville, Wilkes-Barre and Berwick areas. Departure from Scranton’s St. Vladimir Church, 428 North Seventh Avenue would be at 8:45am. Departure for home would be at 8:30pm. Cost is $42.00 per person. If by chance a pickup in Edwardsville is not needed, departure from Scranton and departure from NYC for home would be adjusted.  

 

Full nonrefundable advance payment reserves a seat.
