They are serving potato, sauerkraut & cheese pierogi, cabbage rolls and beet soup. The kitchen will be open every Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. through April.

The kitchen is opened as a way to raise money for the parish.
From the pic above, there is also a Ukrainian Bazaar this weekend to benefit the parish. (more info—>)

St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church is a cool B-F treasure…if you are Catholic, you can attend mass there. A unique experience.

I did get the opportunity to stop in to Saint Nicholas Ukranian Catholic Church yesterday to take some pics of the church prior to the 3 pm blessing of parishioner’s Easter baskets.
What a fantastic/beautiful place with fantastic people.
As you could imagine, I drew some attention while shooting the photos, but a number of people were interested in what I was doing and I slipped them my BFA card. The parishioners I met were very friendly and let me take pictures of them…they also invited me to come back for Mass…I will do that soon.
Saint Nicholas Church is another place that helps keep the neighborhood alive!
BFA friend Yuri Hreshchyshyn is a parishioner here.
B-F is a big melting pot of all sorts of wonderful cultures!

The UCC liturgical calendar runs different than the Roman Catholic Church.

Good Friday – 5:30pm
Saturday – 3pm & 6pm for blessing of baskets
