America’s oldest Greek Catholic church, St. Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church in Shenandoah, is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year.

The year 1884 was a significant one in Shenandoah and in America, as it marks the founding of the first Eastern Rite Catholic church in the country, the Standard Speaker reports.

The borough’s St Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. The observance will culminate at 2 p.m. Nov. 8 with the celebration of a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy by Metropolitan-Archbishop Stefan Soroka, archbishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia and metropolitan for all Ukrainian Catholics in the United States.
